More than Baseball - Sugar review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
28/10/2009

I'll admit its all too easy to see the mere mention of baseball and dismiss it as a sports related film. Thankfully Kevin Costner and co are missing, as Sugar is more than just a tale of the underdog. The backdrop is the powerful American teams practice of seeking talent in poverty stricken countries. Promising players are treated like disposable items, only one injury or bad performance away from being sent back home. Sugar soon realises that he is no different to the mass produced t-shirts being made by his mother for the US market. The chances of success are slight but the rewards are huge. Success is not everything and life in the States is a solitary existance and not paved with gold. Yet his family and friends back home are hoping he will strike it rich and pass on the benefits of his talent. Sugar is a beautiful film on so many different levels, a real surprise.
