If you follow baseball, and particularly the Pittsburgh Pirates, then you probably know Pirates pitchers Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel and the story behind MILLION DOLLAR ARM.\u00a0 If you don’t, well, just sit back and don’t leave your seats until the final out in the ninth (aka sit through the credits). But whether you know the story and its outcome or not, like with any good sports epic inspired by a true story, be it The Rookie, Miracle, Invincible <\/em>or even Secretariat<\/em>, you still feel that swell of pride, the joy of winning and the beauty of triumph over adversity no matter how many times you watch the story played out on the big screen.\u00a0\u00a0 However, it\u2019s not just the \u201cwin\u201d comes film end that envelops and elates, it\u2019s the journey that leads to that win, be it a horse or, in this case, a down-on-his-luck sports agent and two young boys from India who win the golden ticket and come to America to play professional baseball.\u00a0 As MILLION DOLLAR ARM producer Joe Roth notes, \u201cI love the second chance stories and I love fish-out-of-water stories and I love the idea that I\u2019m sitting in a movie theater and I\u2019m thinking, \u2018Wow if these two guys can accomplish that, I can get up out of here when the lights get on and I can accomplish almost anything.\u2019\u201d What producers Joe Roth and Gordon Gray together with director Craig Gillespie and screenwriter Thomas McCarthy have accomplished is the feel good film of the summer.\u00a0 MILLION DOLLAR ARM loads the bases with heart, humor and fun and then hits it out of the park for grand slam entertainment.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you follow baseball, and particularly the Pittsburgh Pirates, then you probably know Pirates pitchers Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel and the story behind MILLION DOLLAR ARM.\u00a0 If you don’t, well, just sit back and don’t leave your seats until the final out in the ninth (aka sit through the credits).

\"Million<\/p>\n

While it would make more sense for the Indian born Ash to make the journey, he is forced to stay home with his family, leaving fish-out-of-water JB Bernstein to his own devices.\u00a0 Quickly learning that cricket players know nothing about baseball and that he knows nothing about India or its culture, Bernstein enlists the help of a rabid young baseball fanatic named Amit, not to mention crotchety old MLB scout, Ray Poitevint.<\/p>\n

In one of the most beautiful travel montages to grace the big screen, we are treated to the sights and sounds of India and its people as Bernstein, after seeing 37,000+ young people tryout,\u00a0 ultimately finds his two \u201cMillion Dollar Arms\u201d – local javelin player Rinku Singh who threw an 88mph fastball and Dinesh Patel, a young man who does day labor and driving as part of his family business.\u00a0 The kicker is that not only has neither played baseball, neither plays or even likes cricket.<\/p>\n

As much as Bernstein was a fish-out-water in India, so are Rinku and Dinesh – with Amit now in tow – in Los Angeles.\u00a0 Never having been to America, not speaking English, unfamiliar with American food and customs, it doesn\u2019t take long for disasters to take hold, forcing the boys to move in with Bernstein.\u00a0 Seemingly left to their own devices, and pizza delivery, is the guiding hand of their now-trainer USC baseball coach Tom House and friendship of Bernstein\u2019s guesthouse tenant Brenda enough to keep the boys going or will Bernstein finally step up to the plate and round the bases with Rinku and Dinesh?<\/p>\n

\"million-dollar-arm-02\"<\/p>\n

Baseball fanatic Jon Hamm is perfectly cast as the self-centered JB Bernstein.\u00a0 Pushing the character\u2019s self-absorption almost to the point of making one want to leave the theater, or jump into the movie screen and slap the man silly, as easily as Hamm slides into the worst parts of Bernstein, he finds kindness and redemption.\u00a0 It\u2019s a wonderful balancing act pushing that envelope to the very brink and it\u2019s thanks to Hamm\u2019s chemistry with Lake Bell\u2019s Brenda that he skates back from the edge.<\/p>\n

Describing MILLION DOLLAR ARM as a \u201cmovie that moves you\u201d that\u2019s \u201caffirming… uplifting… heartwarming… emotional\u201d, surprising to Hamm, who loved the script on first read, \u201cI am a huge baseball fan and somehow this flew under my radar.\u201d\u00a0 Jumping into Google research mode, Hamm started \u201cfinding out everything I could about this. . .It\u2019s just this incredibly uplifting story about\u00a0 thinking outside the box and really following through with something and working hard and succeeding.\u201d<\/p>\n

When talking about Hamm\u2019s performance of himself, JB Bernstein admits \u201cI was so focused in my life on business I\u2019d become kind of myopic and the only thing I really took pride in was the deal and getting deals done for my clients and that was my sole source of pride so it kind of became this self-fulfilling prophecy that you know I was defined as a person by being an agent. . .Having Rinku and Dinesh thrust into my life opened me up mostly to the importance of family and having people around you that you love and that you love them and you support each other and opened me up to the possibility of having a wife and kid of my own and Brenda kind of came along and filled that role.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"million-dollar-arm-03\"<\/p>\n

Throwing a real curve is Lake Bell who brings intelligence, style and heart to Brenda and the film.\u00a0 Describing Brenda as \u201csmart and layered\u201d, Bell beautifully tempers the grating edges of Hamm\u2019s Bernstein, wafting in not merely as a sideline cheerleader in a male-dominated movie, but providing a smart and sassy energy and grounding as not only a balance to Hamm, but with an almost maternal kindness with Surah Sharma and Madhur Mittal who play Rinku and Dinesh, respectively.\u00a0 Bell seamlessly finds the balance of heart and humor making this one of her best performances.<\/p>\n

As USC coach Tom House, Bill Paxton is tacit perfection.\u00a0 Calming, almost zen-like, Paxton brings a great calm to the urgency of the ticking time bomb nature of Bernstein and the situation at hand.\u00a0\u00a0 Joining in the fray is Alan Arkin who, as comes as no surprise, is a curmudgeonly scene-stealing delight as the narcoleptic Ray, particularly in some of the 120 degree heat scenes shot in India. But it\u2019s Bollywood comedy fave Pitobash steals the show with his indelible performance as Amit.\u00a0 An absolute joy to watch.<\/p>\n

\"million-dollar-arm-04\"<\/p>\n

Directed by Craig Gillespie and written by Tom McCarthy, MILLION DOLLAR ARM is filled not only with the expected sentimentality and sometimes cliched predictability but, most importantly to JB Bernstein, authenticity.\u00a0 \u201cMy fish-out-of-water journey is almost exactly how it happened, down to costumes.\u00a0 Rinku and Dinesh\u2019s fish-out-of-water journey is exactly as it happened.\u00a0 The way I fell in love with my wife [yes, he eventually married Brenda!]. . .all the major beats in this movie are exactly how they happened.\u201d\u00a0 When talking about McCarthy and the script, Hamm describes him as\u00a0 \u201ca wonderful writer. . .[who] has the ability to make what seems like a simple story resonant in a way that brings so much more to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because of the very nature of the MILLION DOLLAR ARM contest, in 2007 when JB Bernstein embarked on this endeavor, everything was being filmed for marketing purposes.\u00a0 Those very films were used as production tools when recreating the contests within the individual cities, when scouting locations, when recapturing moments, yet with the \u201creality\u201d well documented and at the filmmakers\u2019 disposal, at the end of the day, it came down to those serendipitous moments that elicit the real spirit and heart of the film, particularly when filming \u201cfamily moments\u201d of Dinesh and Rinku in India with non-actor villagers and family friends of the actors stepping into the limelight with only their hearts as acting tools.\u00a0 Stay through the credits, though, as some of the 2007 contest travels footage plus a pictorial of Rinku and Dinesh unfolds.<\/p>\n

\"million-dollar-arm-05\"<\/p>\n

Calling on cinematographer Gyula Pados, Gillespie and Pados elected to shoot on film and\u00a0 primarily all hand-held in India, metaphorically eliciting the whirlwind sensation that mirrors the experiences of not only Rinku and Dinesh with the contest and then coming to America for the first-time, but also capturing the cinematic texture and the vibrancy of India, its energy, its life.\u00a0 So intense was the shoot, that over 100 set-ups a day were being done while in India.\u00a0 Once shooting returned to the US, camera work turned to the digital Hi-Def Alexa and became more stationery, more traditional, more grounded and with less fluidity, eliciting the more routine, and lonely,\u00a0 world of aspiring ballplayers in training.\u00a0 The result is exemplary visuals.\u00a0 Standout with MILLION DOLLAR ARM is Tatiana Riegel\u2019s editing, particularly with the sequences in India.\u00a0 Not only a beautiful travelogue, but Riegel\u2019s rapier cuts and pacing capture the urgency of time, the emotional anxiety and excitement of the contest, while at the same time tempered with a lulling \u201ctime standing still\u201d feeling of home and hearth memories.\u00a0 A delicate balance that is crucial to establishing tonal bandwidth of this film.<\/p>\n

Speaking of authenticity, Rinku Singh himself has nothing but praise for MILLION DOLLAR ARM and particularly Suraj Sharma, the actor who plays him.\u00a0 \u201c[H]e\u2019s not just a great actor, he\u2019s a great young man as well. . .I\u2019m very lucky to have a man like him to play in my role.\u201d\u00a0 First round picks for anyone, both Sharma and Madhur Mittal who plays Dinesh are both from India.\u00a0 Their families still live there and much of the filming of MILLION DOLLAR ARM in the United States was a fish-out-of-water rookie experience for each of them as well. On the flip side, Sharma and Mittal served as the cultural tour guides and liaisons for the cast and crew while filming in India, becoming indispensable to director Gillespie.\u00a0 Making their performances exceptional was that we are able to see the purity and truth within their performances, both the confidence of being at home surrounded by the love of family and friends, and the wide-eyed wonder at America and the world of baseball.\u00a0 Note: Like their real life counterparts, neither Sharma nor Mittal played baseball or cricket before this film.<\/p>\n

\"million-dollar-arm-06\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Perhaps Rinku Singh himself summarizes the core of MILLION DOLLAR ARM the best.\u00a0 \u201cI think a lot of American kids gonna carry from the movie rest of their life.\u201d\u00a0 Not just kids, Rinku.\u00a0 There are life lessons for everyone.\u00a0 \u201c It\u2019s not about just seeing a dream, it\u2019s about following [on a] daily basis what you\u2019re doing, know what you\u2019re doing, who you hang out with, how much you sleep, what you eat. . . It\u2019s being [about], respect the opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss your opportunity to see some grand slam fun with MILLION DOLLAR ARM.<\/p>\n
