Harry... Written by bestselling author John Grisham and directed by comedy veteran Hugh Wilson (DUDLEY DO-RIGHT, POLICE ACADEMY), MICKEY is a story of redemption centered around youth baseball. Harry Connick Jr. stars as Tripp Spence, who flees with his son, and assumes a new identity, after being indicted for tax fraud. Although his son Mickey is technically too old for Little League baseball, their invented lives allow for him to play another year. Mickey's superb performance draws attention to the team, bringing with it the possibility that law enforcement agents will find Spence. Spence and his son must therefore contend with the consequences of their cheating and learn a valuable life lesson. MICKEY is a family-friendly film that reinforces the concept of fairness in both sports and life. [More]

...never quite becomes anything more than a passable time-waster.

It’s hardly your typical Grisham project, but, that said, it’s a far more enjoyable time than several of his recent cinematic adaptations.

Mickey is a 105-minute defense of bad behavior disguised as a good-natured heartwarmer.

Mickey manages to suck the poetry and camaraderie out of the baseball-movie formula, and what’s left over is a mean-spirited hunger for victory at all costs.

Despite telltale evidence of budgetary constraints -- production values are at direct-to-video level -- helmer Hugh Wilson (Blast From the Past) delivers a reasonably well-crafted piece of work.

A quiet, introspective film.

Unless you're a serious baseball dad or a youngster who dreams of making it to the Little League World Series, it's going to take tenacity to stay focused until the closing credits.
