Growing up in Las Vegas, Danny and Melissa meet at age eight and are destined to become life-long friends. During their teen years, they cling to each other for love and security, but as they grow older, their lives take different paths. Danny fills the void in his heart with his passion and love for America's favorite pastime. Melissa, filled with the insecurities of her youth, struggles to find the strength to pursue her childhood dreams. Although apart, their lives are forever connected. Like a glorious seven-game world series, "Pitcher and the Pin-Up" is a story of imperishable hope, courage, faith, love, and coming home.

Lack of good storyline.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Dreams can come true but they don't occur the way you thought they would. That sums this movie up for me. I recently saw this movie "The Road Home," in Vegas and I really enjoyed it. There was a couple of slow scenes but I still will tell my friends to go see it. If you love baseball you have to see this film. My girlfriend cried a couple of times, she got wrapped up in the love story.

I have been to Sundance, Toronto, Venice, to name a few, and of all the independent films that I have seen (and I have seen lots!) I have yet to see a film with such heart. It's not a new story, but it captures the feeling of a first love in a way that is hard to not be moved. Although not the esoteric film that we usually see in the independent circuit, it is so well done that I looked beyond its minor flaws. Lovely film.

This is a strong indie that I would recommend to anyone who has experienced love and loss and to those who still hope for that tiny sense of magic in life. The director has made a very passionate film about fate and the cards we are dealt in life. Bravo and many congrats to the forces that combined to make such a deeply personal and sensitive film!!!

I had the great fortune to watch the full-length version of this movie at a Hollywood screening. I am glad to see that it has been edited as the original dragged on just a bit though it did have good flow. My gauge was through my eleven year-old son who joined me for the screening as he is a baseball nut. Not only did he make it through but he couldn't stop talking about the movie for days on end. I think every kid in his elementary school is waiting for this to come out and with good reason.A great family value movie with enough of a love story to hold the teenage to mid-twenty something crowd. There are enough feel-good moments to hold adults and seniors.I would like to see this movie make it to the big screen. With a little promotion it would do well. Especially if it breaks out either just after the World's Series 2002 or early 2003 opening of the MLB season.
