The actual members of the Hong Kong Baseball Team bare their souls and bodies to play themselves in this fictional youth drama. In a city where baseball culture is non-existent, these baseball players are a minority by choice. The experience teaches them to be free-thinkers in dealing with love, friendship and their own sexuality. It also enables them to find the will to live in the face of death and the strength to conquer losing in a spectatorless sport. "Sexuality is explored but there are no moral judgments and what we really see is how to overcome the adversities of life." - Amos Lassen (Source: GagaOOLala) Edit Translation

I was SO dissapointed by this movie. The story... even though some parts were interesting, there was no exact plot, the story was not going anywhere.

I understand that this is a movie were the actors are the actual Hong Kong baseball team and I must say that the acting was quite good for their first time on camera but thats pretty much what I can say about this.

I found this movie in a Yaoi forum, but it came as a surprise:
There is nothing Yaoi in this, just a couple of male butt-slaping that's it... the rest of the relationships on screen are straight, so if you came here looking for a good Yaoi movie and you are not happy woth wasting your time waiting for the homo-stuff to happen, then this is not the place for you.

Yes, I liked it, not as a movie, but a short story.

Actually I'm debating if I should write a review regarding this movie because it did not leave an impact to me to begin with. But anways let me just give you a short description of what I have felt after watching this movie.

First of all I don't see any reason why the charcters need to be in full nudity in some scenes. Well maybe because of the director. If you happened to wastch similar movies of the director you can see simliar scenes. I was disappointed with the story though. For me the story just goes this way. There was a member of the baseball team who has a girlfriend and his bestfriend snatched the girlfriend from him. And that's it. Well the movie showed some scenes on what the members of the Baseball team are doing but I guess this should have been a documentary and not a movie. For me there was no entertainment factor.
