“It Ain’t Over” shows how Berra was a one-of-a-kind human being, on the diamond and off. As Yogi said once, “if you can’t imitate him, don’t copy him” — and when it comes to Yogi, nobody can.

4.5/5
Kind of a magical story, & how a guy with a love for a game made it on the right team at the right time, & contributed to the point of superstardom, but in a baseball era where that term didn't exist. To quote, “You can observe a lot just by watching.”

Fans of America's favorite pastime will find director/writer Sean Mullin's doc to be a legitimate, fast-moving treat. Everyone else might call it eye-opening. Ater all, as wiseman Yogi apparently once said, "You can see a lot by watching."

Longtime baseball fans can revel in black-and-white archival footage showing Hall of Fame catcher Yogi Berra in his prime... The universe of non-fans can savor Berra as a pop-culture legend, thanks mainly to his trove of purported Yogi-isms.

There is something intimate and, hence, emotional about such fond reminiscing of a simpler time. The film, through archival footage and earnest testimonial by his family and closest friends, fully embodies Berra's spirit.

Friendly, inspiring, and fun to watch, the saddest thing about It Ain’t Over is that eventually ends.

All in all, It Ain’t Over successfully recontextualizes Berra’s legacy beyond that of his Hanna-Barbera pantless cartoon bear counterpart, leaving us with the story of a loving husband, a devoted family man, and a world-class winner.

An ode to the onetime joy of baseball, in all its innocence, its elegant simplicity and its sense of just plain fun – all of which was perfectly embodied in the slumped frame of Lawrence Peter “Yogi” Berra.
