Undrafted (2016) Reviews

• Decent movie i might watch again sometime

  Went to look at the user reviews and realised there's none here so I said I'd right a quick one. Its about a local baseball team where one of the players doesn't get drafted when he supposedly should have. It takes place over one match in the play off semi final. Its low budget I like the concept its got a bit of drama and a few laughs. The acting is decent is well i think its worth the watch. If you like low budget sports movies this is really good even as big sports movies go it shows a lot more of the game than most, kinda has to as it takes place during one game but i found that to be nice something different. Anyway I enjoyed it and would say its worth the watch

• Just the funniest ever

  Undrafted may be low-budget; but at the same time, it is extremely underrated and unpopularized. The thing is that you really need to understand the dialogue and just know what baseball means to any player in order to actually "get" this movie. It is intended to be extremely comical and laughable; while, at the same time, taking seriously the premise of the bitter defeat of a promising college baseball star not accomplishing his dream and getting over his grief; all while deliberately intending not to be a common underdog-cliché film. It's a spectatular and hilarious film that all athletes need to watch.

• Thoroughly enjoyable!

  I didn't know what to expect from the movie, but the story-line intrigued me. Five minutes into it and I was hooked. Let me warn you though this is not a 'Remember the Titans' or a 'The Blind Side'. This one was created at probably half the budget of the two famous movies and chances are you may not recognize a single face in the cast. However, the movie is simply awesome for some very basic reasons. First, the rusticity and grittiness is not cultivated. A movie about a ragtag baseball team in a small town looks like a ragtag baseball team in a small town including the dusty and ill-fitted jerseys or the less-than-glamourous atmosphere and no attempt has been made to beautify it to make it attractive. It can as well be shot by somebody sitting on the sideline and it kind of makes the whole drama more compelling. Secondly, the cast. They move and talk in a way like they have all been growing up with each other and have known each other since forever. There are the douchebag, the jock, the wannabe, the level-headed, the hot-headed, the local blue-eyed boy whom everybody pitches for and of course there is the jaded-looking umpire with sarcastic one-liners. You kind of relate to it so much. Even though you may not be from a small town in America, you may not even know all the rules of baseball correctly, hell, you may not even like sports, but you get it. Because at some point of time in your life you are embarrassed by your friends and family, but you still root for them because they are weirdos, but they are your weirdos and you will defend them with tooth and nail. Because things always don't make sense and you get to make do with what little you have. And you will see yourself in the bunch of people playing a game you know little about. That is the magic of this movie. It is so real that it is nearly unreal. It seems the dialogues were not written by a script-writer, but the actors were told to say whatever comes out of their mouth first thing and they did it so wonderfully. Each one of them has given such guileless, unselfconscious performance, that the story transcends from a sports movie and it becomes an analogy to life itself. Magic of the movie, again. I would highly recommend it to anybody to people who like baseball, who hate baseball or people like me who don't understand baseball, but would love to watch a movie that proves a movie can be sweet and leave a gentle smile on your lips without having a single romantic plot (or sub-plot).

• Great Baseball movie

  antibodytherapeutics2017-10-20

  Coming from down under we do not see much baseball on TV. I have fallen in love with the game via movies such as Bull Durham and now subscribe to Minor league baseball TV so I can watch the Bulls play during the season. I watch other teams also as I work from home and have it on during working hours and I just love everything about the game including the 7 inning stretch. This movie just cracks me up it is funny and reminds me of playing rugby league at a lower level in Australia when I was much younger. There are also serious moments but best of all is the lifelong friendships created via team sports. This movie shows the funny and serious sides of amateur sports and is a great watch. I am disappointed with one reviewer here who seems only interested in promoting their own site than giving a true account of this great film. If someone feels the urge to want to punch everyone involved because they dislike a movie I think they should see a professional as they have deeper issues and I am speaking of viewsonfilm you need help of some kind or maybe "you know some people just need f$%king medicine they do"

• Can't get enough!

  Pretty incredible movie in my opinion. The whole cast did an incredible job and their performances together perfectly create the funny and endearing vibe you get throughout the whole movie. Absolutely hilarious all the way through. I've already rewatched it a couple of times and probably will again.
