Based on a true story, sports agent JB Bernstein (Jon
Hamm) finds that business has changed and things aren’t going well for his
career. In a last ditch effort to save his livelihood he concocts a scheme to
find baseball’s next great pitching ace. Hoping to find a young cricket pitcher
he can turn into a major league baseball star, JB travels to India to produce a
reality show competition called “The Million Dollar Arm.”
With the help of cantankerous but eagle-eyed retired baseball scout Ray Poitevint (Alan Arkin), he discovers Dinesh (played by Madhur Mittal from “Slumdog Millionaire”) and Rinku (played by Suraj Sharma from “Life of Pi”), two 18-year-old boys who have no idea about playing baseball, yet have a knack for throwing a fastball.

Hoping to sign them to major league contracts and make a
quick buck, JB brings the boys home to America to train. While the Americans
are definitely out of their element in India, the boys, who have never left
their rural villages, are equally challenged when they come to the States. As
the boys learn the finer points of baseball, JB, with the help of his charming
friend Brenda (Lake Bell), learns valuable life lessons about teamwork,
commitment and what it means to be a family.

This looks like a really good story and it it family friendly, which is great. It would be fuin to see Jon Hamm in a more playful role than Don Draper!
This sounds like a great story line and one the whole family can enjoy. It would be fun to see Jon Hamm in a more playful role than Don Draper.
My 9 year old nephew loves baseball he asked me to get him this DVD when it comes out - I think I will surprise him and take him to the theater instead. :)
I really cannot wait to see this movie. I think it is going to be hugely popular and from seeing the trailers, I think they have a hit on their hands!
Our family is full of sports nuts. We have seen every sports themed movie out there. We cannot wait for a chance to see Million Dollar Arm!
I think this would be a great family movie to watch together,so yes I hope we can see it if not then get it on DVD when it comes out
