Plot Summary: Based on a true story, Disney's "Million Dollar Arm" follows JB Bernstein, a once-successful sports agent who now finds himself edged out by bigger, slicker competitors. He and his partner Aash (Aasif Mandvi) will have to close their business down for good if JB doesn’t come up with something fast. Late one night, while watching cricket being played in India on TV, JB comes up with an idea so radical it just might work. Why not go to there and find the next baseball pitching sensation? Setting off for Mumbai with nothing but a gifted but cantankerous scout (Alan Arkin) in tow, JB stages a televised, nationwide competition called “Million Dollar Arm” where 40,000 hopefuls compete before two 18-year-old finalists, Rinku and Dinesh (Suraj Sharma, Madhur Mittal), emerge as winners. JB brings them back to the United States to train with legendary pitching coach Tom House (Bill Paxton). The goal: get the boys signed to a major league team.

there's something about her that bugs me too. can't put my finger on it. but she was really good in "In a World" which she wrote, directed and starred in.

From interviews I've seen she seems very sharp and funny. She has an odd look to her but I still think she's pretty. She has a freaking killer body.


I liked this movie. I mean it was strictly a "STICK TO THE FORMULA" of feel good sports movies. So obviously very predictable but they did a good job. I went with a big group and everyone left feeling good and even a little inspired.
