This heartwarming family comedy follows 12-year-old Henry Rowengartner as a freak accident gives him a 103 mph fastball, rocketing him from the bleachers to the pitcher's mound for the struggling Chicago Cubs. Parents should know it's a lighthearted, aspirational story with plenty of laughs and a strong focus on dreams coming true, making it an excellent choice for a family movie night. This film is best for kids aged 6 and up.
