Field of Dreams

Pros: plot, baseball, acting, heart-warming story
Cons: none

Field of Dreams came out back in 1989. It was directed by Phil Alden Robinson, who also wrote and directed the movie "Sneakers" in 1992, which stared Robert Redford, and Dan Akroyd. While he has not had very many films to his credit over the years, he ...

Pros: Easy to watch with a wonderful storyline.
Cons: It's not on more often.

There are a few movies that I can watch over and over and there are also a few movies that are broadcast on TV over and over that give me the opportunity to watch often. One of these films is Field of Dreams. It happens to be a very well written film ...

Pros: Old-time movie magic.
Cons: A premise perhaps a bit fuzzy, but still somehow appropriated.

It's hard to know what to like best about FIELD OF DREAMS (1989), but this is a great show to watch on a soft summer's evening when the worries of the world are far away and the weather forecast is for (to paraphrase a phrase from another Great Summer ...

Pros: Outstanding story and some very strong acting
Cons: Tiny flaw - a little too long at the conclusion

An old axiom states that every man has one great story in him about his relationship with his father. Field of Dreams is one such story, written by William Kinsella, who in the best tradition of Frank Capra, manages to gleefully wrap sentiment...

Pros: Nice baseball scenes and Costner is likeable
Cons: Amy Madigan, leftist politics

This is a mostly inoffensive star vehicle about an Iowa farmer/60's drop-out played by the likeable Kevin Costner who, like many of that generation, is bothered by voices in his head. In Kevin's case, the voices inspire him to build a baseball field on...

Pros: baseball, innocence
Cons: maybe overly sentimental for some viewers

Beyond almost anything is my love for baseball, and no movie ever made has captured what is most magical about baseball better than "Field of Dreams."

It gets rerun so often on cable that, without even owning a copy, I've seen it at...

Pros: Cool effects, plot does keep you interested
Cons: Ending is not overly great due to poor character development, acting, and plot line

Often talked about as one of, if not the best, sports movies of all time, I finally got around to watching this film. Being the sports nut that I am, one would say, "What took you so long?" I wish I would have waited longer. This film disappointed me, ...

Pros: cast, cinematography, costumes, humor
Cons: baseball as allegory of Heaven, needless road trip

It has to be one of the most parodied lines in film history. "If you build it, he will come." The voice from the cornfields comes to Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner), the everyman good guy farmer with a devoted leftist wife Anni (Amy Madigan) and a precious...

Pros: It is an excellent movie
Cons: none

This is not your ordinary review of a movie...it is my interpretation of a movie. Field of Dreams! I would like to share an analogy with you. One of my favorite films is Field of Dreams. I would like to use this film as my analogy.

...

Pros: Pure joy, delightful cast
Cons: no sequel

"Where did all these baseball players come from?" asks Ray Kinsella's cynical brother-in-law after one of the many miracles of this wonderful movie. And where did all these sports movie reviews come from, you may ask? This is the first annual...

Pros: Fantastic story filled with genuine emotion and aided by great acting.
Cons: Not a one.

"Field of Dreams" is a very aptly named film. The ballfield is the very center of the movie, the very spot where various dreams do come true. It's definitely one of Kevin Costner's best films and of his baseball-based films, it's his best. It's more or...

Pros: Some performances of the main cast, symbolism
Cons: Very slow moving film, character development with many minor characters

"Ray" (Kevin Costner) is an Iowan corn farmer who has regrets -- the biggest of which is fixing his relationship with his estranged father (Dwier Brown). One day, "Ray" is in his cornfield, with his wife (Amy Madigan) and daughter (Gaby Hoffmann, in ...

Pros: Great cast: Costner, Madigan, Jones, Liotta, Lancaster, great acting and great story.
Cons: None.

Field of Dreams is a great flick. I read W. B. Kinsella's novel of the same name before I saw it and it remains one of the few movies that does not pale in comparison to the book. The novel this film is based on is actually an expanded version of a short...

Pros: Touching story of a man's failed relationship with his father and ts later repercussions
Cons: Those looking for a hard-hitting action sports story will likely be disappointed

This review is of the Widescreen Special Edition Laserdisc of "Field of Dreams."

I'll be honest...I am not much of a baseball fan, definitely not a Costner fan, and tend to favor black comedies over melodramatic fantasies. So why...

Pros: Like milk, this movie has something for everybody.
Cons: Non-sports fans may be turned off by the baseball connection. A grave mistake.

I'm not a baseball fan. I got turned off to the sport in Junior High when I could never get picked during the choose-up. I could catch and I could throw, but I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with a snow shovel. My permanent position was in...
