When 12 ragtag teammates set out to play what should be a meaningless summer intramural baseball game, it ends up becoming the most important game of their lives. This collection of characters - the reliever turned starting pitcher (Tyler Hoechlin), a hot-dog power hitter (Chace Crawford), an outfielder with anger management issues (Joe Mazzello), a player coach with clipboard envy (Duke Davis Roberts), an over-eager catcher (Ryan Pinkston), the old guy who shouldn't be playing anymore (Philip Winchester), and the guy everyone forgot was on the team (Matt Bush) - truly gives new meaning to the phrase "amateur status." As they struggle to transition away from baseball and towards an uncertain future, the best player among them (Aaron Tveit) - who they all felt should have gotten drafted - has to deal with the news that his big league dreams were dashed, leaving him grappling with why he should still play. One game can be just another box score, but when it's played by a team galvanized around the love of the game, and for the pride they have in each other, it can define a lifetime. Written and directed by Joe Mazzello ("Jurassic Park," HBO's "The Pacific," "The Social Network"), UNDRAFTED is based on the real life experiences of Joe's brother, a collegiate baseball star who was skipped over in the Major League Baseball draft.
Leave your thoughts about Undrafted.
| indieWireSteve GreeneUndrafted is a baseball movie that never wants you to forget that it’s about baseball, even if that reminder comes with lengthy dugout anecdotes delivered to teammates who are surprisingly indifferent to the outcome of a game that’s supposed to mean so much. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonThe errors outnumber the hits in this heartfelt ensemble drama meant to pay tribute to the uniting power of baseball. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekDespite the best efforts of a game cast, the movie definitely comes across as a bush-league effort. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenThe unfocused Undrafted ultimately possesses all the dramatic intrigue of an intentional walk. |
| Village VoiceNick SchagerWith characters who range from mildly aggravating to out-and-out intolerable, and revolving around a game whose outcome is of no meaningful consequence, this underdogs-make-good fairy tale is a dramatic and comic rainout. |
| User ReviewRon TI understand nothing about baseball but this movie is absolutely brilliant. I love the dialogue, I love the bond between teammates, I love the great casting and I cannot get over how a low budget movie can make a topic of a non-important summer thing into something that is a championship for the soul. Hell I am all for the underdog and though i don't understand anything about baseball, I understand that Maz not getting drafted sucks big time but in this game he shows off his skills and even I can see that there is something special going on here. I love this movie and highly recommend for a feel good time when you're feeling low, when you're bored or just looking for something that is not going to deeply emotionally traumatize you. This is a really well done film. |

| User ReviewPrivate UThis movie was 1.) Original. 2.) Polished 3.) Very heartfelt. Have not enjoyed a movie this much in longer than I can remember, and I don't even care about baseball. But this movie makes you care about its characters. A+ Joe Mazzello. |
