When the owner of the hapless Minnesota Twins (talk about art imitating life) dies and leaves his grandson (Luke Edwards) the team in his will, the 12-year-old decides to manage the team himself. Aside from the obvious headline value of his move, no one seems to like the idea and the kid finds himself battling for his fledgling managerial career. Eventually, however, he wins the confidence of his favorite player (Timothy Busfield) and before long has the team playing like kids: for the fun of it, rather than the money. (Now there's a concept.) Though billed as a family movie, the saccharine level is high enough to scare off most adults. But kids, particularly baseball fans, will eat it up, as much for the appearances of baseball stars like Ken Griffey Jr. and Paul O'Neill as for the plot itself. --Marshall Fine

My kids and I love the movie. However after buying the DVD it was in Full screen format only. The description said that it was a widescreen format, so lovers of wide screen formatted movies like myself, Beware!

5.0 out of 5 stars Little Big League September 4, 2001

By A Customer

Format:VHS Tape

I rented this movie because my younger brother loves baseball!!!! I have always love basball movies but never I have I watched a more funnier movie then this. Its not only great for you but a great movie for the whole family!!! Its really funny, and it shows how a team( in this case the Minnosota Twins) can be the worst team to the greatest team. It shows leadership and that ball players need to have more fun and not worry about everything else and enjoy the game because after all Baseball is Americas fav. sport. So if you are ever in the need for a baseball movie loads with laughter this is the movie for you!!!!! It also has Great Music. I recommend Major League, Bull Durnham, The Natural and of course Little Big League. I hope this was a help.

Enjoyed the movie with my kids. However it was advertised as having widescreen format but it only comes in full screen. If you are a widescreen buff as I am this will be a disappointment.
