Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

nankipoo First, this movie is definitely for seasoned Red Sox fans, who will swear they've said the same lines used by fans in this film, or felt the same "code-blue" emotional highs and lows. If you hate the Sox, of course you won't bother with "Still We Believe"; but it might just spur on a newcomer to enter the madness with the rest of us, who feel weird when the Team appears on the very brink of finally entering Valhalla, only to have our worst, worst fears played out before the rest of baseball fandom. The movie follows the entire 2003 Red Sox season in what I felt was a very interesting and engaging way. True, I think more highlights of the games would've helped, but we learn more about the "terminal" disorder of being a Sox fan from the expressions on the faces of the people chosen to "star" in this documentary than we would from images already etched in our collective memory. A great effort nonetheless, and worth watching. 7/10

american_werewolf Because I'm a huge Red Sox fan, I was wicked excited when I saw this movie in my local theater. Of course, Red Sox Nation knows how it ends, and that's the part I couldn't watch again, especially since Sportscenter played it about 30 times a day for a week straight. Other than that, the movie carried a great balance of interviews with the players, executive meeting sessions, including the frenzy that went on with the July 31st trade deadline, the backstage antics of our favorite players (including David Ortiz, Derek Lowe, Kevin Millar, and Pedro Martinez), and the centerpiece of the movie - following different groups of fans throughout the season from Spring Training to the ALCS with the Yankees. Every high and low point is captured here, and even if you hate baseball, you will be not disappointed with this flick. 5 out of 5 stars.

margaret-pritchard-2004 Hmm, the above review states a) Fenway ticket prices are expensive, and b) the Red Sox did not win the World Series. What a surprise. Fenway tickets are expensive due to a small stadium and high demand. This sounds rather like the comments of a Yankees fan who didn't bother to actually watch the film, as opposed to a genuine critique.Anyway, this movie shows the season through the eyes of the fans, which is what makes it so good; otherwise, it would be just a bunch of instant replays. The producers did a great job selecting the people they were going to follow - they're passionate, dedicated, and engaging, and there's a diversity in age, in attitude, even in location (a Bostonian transplanted to California, and so on), and they're what make the film a drama. The action could be better, especially in the coverage of Game 7 of the ALCS; I felt as though the drama didn't build as well as it could have. Also, I was upset at the lack of footage of Kevin Millar singing "Born in the USA." But all in all, a very good (though PAINFUL!!!) look back at a terrific season and a terrific team.

johndoherty A movie that is supposed to feel like a reality series comes off as a scripted poorly edited documentary. You want reality talk about ticket prices at Fenway to go see those schmos! I'd rather send my kids to college!! Unfortunately this movie makes all Bostonians look like ignorant morons. I live here it's not true but you do have idiots yelling "Yankees Suck". Gee if that's the case Genius then why are they the best sports franchise in history? The response you usually get is "they suck anyway". Yes, very intelligent indeed. Remember baseball is a sport that honors respect for players of all teams and is a combination of physical and mental ability. This movie drags Baseball into the empty headed dungeon of Sports machismo. If you want see a truly great Baseball movie watch "Pride of the Yankees" instead. You'll feel better about yourself and appreciate life a bit more.
