Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
In a bid for mainstream acceptance, director Sam Raimi distanced himself from his Evil Dead origins with A Simple Plan. The next step was this feel-good baseball fable. Amidst action features from Conan The Barbarian to Starship Troopers, composer Basil Poledouris has scored his share of whimsy (Free Willy, Mickey Blue Eyes, The Blue Lagoon), but while featuring a soaring "Main Theme" his score for For Love Of The Game cannot disguise the film for the ultra- lite that it is. In fine Field of Dreams style there's sweet underscore in "Relationship Montage", and jaunty guitar in "Gus Hits". There's a lot of guitar throughout in fact--an instrument that along with solo trumpet seems to dog baseball movies ceaselessly. It's not that the music isn't pleasant but in seeming to insist upon a derivative mainstream approach, both film and score leave nothing but the yawn-inducing memory of sporting heroics captured in slow-motion. Composer and director are far more memorable when exercising their gift for the dramatic. --Paul Tonks
