Now I admit that I am a sucker for baseball movies, but Sugar is not like any baseball movie I have seen before. It is about the search for the American dream more than baseball itself and it is definitely, definitely worth seeing. The film follows a Dominican pitcher, nicknamed Sugar as he makes his way from the DR to the minor leagues and then, well see for yourself. I will say that there are parts which are hilarious (hope you like french toast) and parts which are heartbreaking and although I thought it had lost me two-thirds of the way through, boy did the end bring me back. The film is only playing in New York and L.A. right now but keep your eyes peeled - it will hopefully be rolling out in more places soon. Until you can catch it, whet your appetite with the trailer:
