Despite cribbing from other baseball films, this is standard-issue sports fare that still seems intent on grafting unnecessary piles of story on top. Go to Full Review
Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times Jul 14, 2016
An amiable if aimless ensemble comedy that's unable to overcome its amateur status. Go to Full Review
Nick Schager Village Voice Jul 14, 2016
While it's touching that Mazzello has seen fit to celebrate his sibling's tenacious love of the national pastime, there's no escaping the fact that the dugout-and-diamond shenanigans are consistently tedious. Go to Full Review
Brigid Presecky FF2 Media Oct 9, 2019
Mazzello pens a smart script worthy of a theater stage. Like its intramural baseball team, underdog film Undrafted captures the magic of a ball game and the price of big dreams. Go to Full Review
Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Jul 30, 2016
The errors outnumber the hits in this heartfelt ensemble drama meant to pay tribute to the uniting power of baseball. Go to Full Review

An itchy valentine to the world of intramural baseball, studying its humiliations, camaraderie, and gamesmanship with ultimate interest in its characters. Go to Full Review

Apr 24, 2019 I'm a sports/ baseball guy and know a few semi-pro baseball players. I thought it was a good film. Especially for younger people who enjoy competition and the camaraderie that comes with team sports. Good movie. See more

Albus M Mar 16, 2019 The movie was enjoyable, reminds me of the days of watching my brother play when we were young. Slightly predictable at the end but the real footage at the end and the fact it actually happened like that made me forgive them. Not to nitpick but i thought the words that would pop up on the screen now and then were inconsistent, like not after every inning, just a little nitpick. I thought the mix of humor and drama was well balanced and overall a good movie, would watch again. See more
Jan 18, 2019 This movie had a perfect balance of comedy and drama, the only critique I have is the big inning was somewhat uneventful and the ending and middle got slightly repetitive, but overall I enjoy this movie and I would recommend See more
George S Jan 5, 2019 Very good! Yes, it is a bit rough, seeing as it was Mazzello's directorial debut, but overall the film turned out quite well, I think. Some of the editing was iffy but it didn't take away too much from my enjoyment. I know zero about baseball but still found this film entertaining. It was funny to say the least. All of the actors appeared to be trying their darndest to pull the film off and it showed (whether that's good or not, as it did appear fairly cheesy at times). The story balanced humour with some heartfelt sentiment. When it comes down to it, Undrafted was just an enjoyable film, end of story. It most definitely deserves some more recognition. See more
Hermione S Dec 28, 2018 A waste of a good cast. It might have a good ending, that I missed, because I bailed midway. I couldnï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)t stomach the juvenile temper tantrums, and gutter humor anymore. I am 62. When I was a kid, sports were a vehicle for character development. To teach you perseverance, and good sportsmanship. Of course it was peppered with frustration, and anger sometimes, but throwing bats, and cursing rants were not tolerated. These guys would have all been social outcasts in my day. See more
