The Perfect Game
Director: William Dear
Actors: Clifton Collins Jr., Cheech Marin, Moises Arias
PlotIn 1957 Monterrey, Mexico, a group of impoverished boys, with dreams bigger than their reality, closely follows baseball. They are inspired by an ex-MLB player, Cesar, who reluctantly agrees to coach them despite having given up on the sport following a personal crisis. With little more than ragged gear and raw talent, the boys, led by their natural leader Angel, pull off a remarkable feat by forming a Little League baseball team. The odds are heavily stacked against them, but their passion and determination lead them on an unexpected journey that transcends mere sports.
Driven by an unyielding spirit and a dream that seems impossible, the boys progress beyond local games and take on transformative challenges that test their strength, teamwork, and resolve. They endure cultural and socio-economic barriers, face skepticism from various quarters, and rise against prejudice as they navigate their way to a once-unthinkable chance at glory. Their story becomes a beacon of hope and a lesson in the power of perseverance, faith, and the belief that miracles can happen even in the most unlikely of circumstances.

The Perfect Game offers a predictable yet heartwarming tale, but suffers from stilted dialogue and forced emotion; technically, the Blu-ray provides satisfactory audio and video quality.
