Well, it's not the best film, however Mr. Magnum... Baseball... Tom Selleck does a great job of playing a stuck-up, egotistical chauvinistic well, zhlob and it might sound like an insult, but that is where the charm is. It's a movie where, at it's heart, it shows that Baseball transcends international boundaries... and I firmly believe that once the rest of the world realizes it's better than soccer, that will be true. However, in the meantime, it's also a movie about the worst possible culture shock and the worst possible person to experience it. And, of course, it promises a happy ending, it promises that Mr. Baseball will learn from his mistakes, and it promises that baseball will prevail. And, of course, it delivers on that promise like all movies like this too, and, again, that is the charm. But, really, it's a baseball movie and it takes a lot to make them bad.

A slugger can hit anywhere.

Even if you are not a baseball fan, you will enjoy MR. BASEBALL. An aging Major League home run slugger Jack Elliot(Tom Selleck)is traded to the Dragons, a favorite ball team in Japan. American ballplayers are treated like rock 'n' roll stars in Japan and Jack is no exception. The American slugger has trouble fitting into the eastern society and thanks to his interpreter(Kosuke Toyohara)he doesn't completely alienate himself. Another American player "Hammer" Dubois(Dennis Haysbert)tries to help big Jack fit in, but of course the Dragon's new home run hitter is pretty hard headed.

Elliot finds himself in his coach's(Ken Takakura)doghouse more often than not. The team finds him easy to dislike. Unknowingly he finds romance with the coach's daughter(Aya Takanashi)and that is just part of the humor found in this likable and short of heartwarming movie. Most of the humor comes from Jack's interpreter. Selleck fits the role pretty well. Ted Danson would have been another good choice for the role, but Selleck provides enough arrogance to carry it off. Not a total waste of time, but there is doubts about a double header. Twice is enough for me.
