“After revitalizing baseball movies with Field of Dreams and Bull Durham, [Costner] is now three for three with the funny, quirky, rueful, and richly textured For Love of the Game”

- Jay Carr

“Designed to put a baseball-sized lump in your throat. Well before that, however, you may feel like putting a lump on Kevin Costner’s head”

- J. Hoberman
