Free Screening: Million Dollar Arm

Happy Star Wars Day y’all! No, this giveaway doesn’t have wookies, but it does have some Force. Arm force!

Fine. (Adjusts bow tie. Bow ties are cool.)

Today’s screening is Million Dollar Arm, a based-on-a-true-story pic starring John Hamm. I’ve seen the trailer, and it’s looking like heartstring tugging fun. ( Please. It’s from Disney Pictures. It should be.) Here’s the synopsis:

Based on a true story, sports agent JB Bernstein (Jon Hamm) finds that business has changed and things aren’t going well for his career. In a last ditch effort to save his livelihood he concocts a scheme to find baseball’s next great pitching ace. Hoping to find a young cricket pitcher he can turn into a major league baseball star, JB travels to India to produce a reality show competition called “The Million Dollar Arm.” With the help of cantankerous but eagle-eyed retired baseball scout Ray Poitevint (Alan Arkin), he discovers Dinesh (played by Madhur Mittal from “Slumdog Millionaire”) and Rinku (played by Suraj Sharma from “Life of Pi”), two 18 year old boys who have no idea about playing baseball, yet have a knack for throwing a fastball. Hoping to sign them to major league contracts and make a quick buck, JB brings the boys home to America to train. While the Americans are definitely out of their element in India — the boys, who have never left their rural villages — are equally challenged when they come to the States. As the boys learn the finer points of baseball — JB, with the help of his charming friend Brenda (Lake Bell) — learns valuable life lessons about teamwork, commitment and what it means to be a family.
