Sarcastigate at the Movies: Sugar

Probably one of the best movies I have seen so far this year.  Yes, it’s about baseball.  No, that doesn’t make it any less beautiful, touching or genuine.  It’s shot really well by the pair that made Half Nelson.  It has a breakout performance from a former dominican baseball player that has never acted before.  It was a summer night well spent.

It even gets bonus points for making you think the emotional climax was going to be a montage with the Buckley cover of Hallelujah.  I laughed when it flipped it on me.

Rating: 9.5/10
