As a long time fan of Mad Men, I'm looking forward to seeing Jon Hamm on the big screen! He'll always be the handsome and mysterious Don Draper to me, but in this movie Hamm plays Sports Agent JB Bernstein. Here's a little bit about the film:
MILLION DOLLAR ARM
Based
on a true story, sports agent JB Bernstein (Jon Hamm) finds that
business has changed and things aren’t going well for his career. In a
last ditch effort to save his livelihood he concocts a scheme to find
baseball’s next great pitching ace. Hoping to find a young cricket
pitcher he can turn into a major league baseball star, JB travels to
India to produce a reality show competition called “The Million Dollar
Arm.” With the help of cantankerous but eagle-eyed retired baseball
scout Ray Poitevint (Alan Arkin), he discovers Dinesh (played by Madhur
Mittal from “Slumdog Millionaire”) and Rinku (played by Suraj Sharma from “Life of Pi”),
two 18 year old boys who have no idea about playing baseball, yet have a
knack for throwing a fastball. Hoping to sign them to major league
contracts and make a quick buck, JB brings the boys home to America to
train. While the Americans are definitely out of their element in India —
the boys, who have never left their rural villages — are equally
challenged when they come to the States. As the boys learn the finer
points of baseball — JB, with the help of his charming friend Brenda
(Lake Bell) — learns valuable life lessons about teamwork, commitment
and what it means to be a family.Want to see it? Enter to win below. Contest open to residents of Canada. Winners must be able to attend the Winnipeg screening on May 14th at Silver City St.Vital. Ends May 2nd, 2014.
