The 10 Worst Movies I Have Ever Seen: #10

Mr. Baseball, dir. Fred Schepisi

I had the unfortunate pleasure of watching this with the rest of my Tourism class. We had to watch it because our teacher wanted to us to see a different culture's take on a certain sport. The sport portrayed in this movie is, obviously, baseball. The culture: Japan. That plot could have been put to good use. Instead, this film decides to poke fun at the Japanese way of playing baseball and incorporate a bunch of stereotypes into the proceedings. I liked Tom Selleck in Friends, he was funny and a good match for Courteney Cox. Here however, he's dreadful, along with everybody else. There's not much else to say. The script is horrible and the direction is lame. The whole thing is just a mess.
