Watch Everyone's Hero For Free

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I should have walked out of the room when I realized the premise was that the 1932 New York Yankees were the hapless victims of a plot by the dastardly owner of the Chicago Cubs. When this movie was being made, Cubs fans were looking back at nearly a century of futility. The decision to go with that plot is the first sign that the creative minds behind this project lack sensible perspective. I am not a Cubs fan, but a much better movie (and message) would be about a Cubs fan trying to help his team in the face of tough odds.The many glaring historical and factual errors in this movie also made it difficult to watch. Even my ten year old daughter noticed that, in one scene, home plate was oriented the wrong way. During a World Series game.I am not going to go into the problems with the plot, the mixed messages given about the challenges children face and how they might overcome them, and bizarre perspective on risk--other reviewers have covered that. I will say that the characters of the parents were presented with less depth than found in the Sunday comics. And for some reason, the worst villains in the movie are redheads.I laughed at some of the visual comedy. My son laughed at the snot jokes.

For those adults who enjoy animated films (I still think Bugs Bunny is the best cartoon ever made) this one is a bit slow and ordinary. It lacks excitement and originality from the start. It's almost as if the story was popped out of a can and put in front of a camera. Toward the end it does take off in the last 10 minutes or so but that's it. The rest of it is predictable and mundane. 5/10.However, for the 3 to 10 year old out there this is an excellent animated feature. 10/10.-LD_____________________________________________my faith: http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/jbc33/

My 7 year old daughter loved it. I liked it too. I was really surprised how much my daughter liked it. I never knew Christopher Reeve was making it when he passed away. It appears his wife Dana Reeve continued the project and the movie is dedicated to their legend, This film should only enhance his legacy. There are also some great actors lending their voices to this movie. While not 100% historically correct it can introduce young kids to the legend of Babe Ruth and the New York Yankees. I can't understand how people can knock this animated cartoon when it's intended audience loves it so much. I am giving it a 9 out of 10 because the animation was great and it was good entertainment.

Everyone's Hero is charming kiddie fare. I didn't hate it but the story sorta screamed straight to video. However, for a film about a talking bat and baseball, I think I was a little more entertained then I expected to be.I like others thought the premise was a little ridiculous, but it gives the feeling of a Saturday morning cartoon where inanimate objects talk for no reason. Fair enough. The premise was still box office poison. Still, the film has some characters that aren't gratingly annoying, and of course the exaggerated one dimensional villains that you would expect. Aside from the lukewarm story, I was a little disturbed by some of the sequences involving young yankee irving in situations that are quite dangerous, aside from the realistic overall film. There is a looney tunes-esquire train segment where characters are jumping from train to train at full speed, and the end where yankee seems to acquire superpowers. Also, the very idea that he travels across half the country and it's kind of downplayed, it just doesn't mix well with the "you can do anything" theme of the film. It suggests to young children that they can literally do anything. It just doesn't seem like the best message to convey. Other than that, it's cute and not terribly original. The animation reveals obviously that this film wasn't done on an 100 million dollar budget, I think what they came out with matches the tone of the film. I'd recommend it to anyone with young children who enjoy baseball or for anyone who needs just a fun little film to pop in the DVD player to distract the kids for a little while.
