Preview: 4192: The Crowning of the Hit King (2010)

Synopsis:

A documentary chronicling the legendary rise of baseball player Pete Rose.

• Poster: C+

Review:

The baseball stitching element is interesting and it seems to carry through to the title cards for the documentary itself; however, it's not very creative beyond that. Of course, with such an image it may appeal to the demographic they are expecting: men who know and care who Pete Rose is.

• Trailer: C

Review:

It must be time for the Baseball Hall of Fame again because we're getting another fluff piece on disgraced Pete Rose. The Baseball Hall of Fame refuses to accept his candidacy for induction because of his illegal activities. Yet, every year, people come out of the woodwork to position him as a contender for the Hall of Fame. This trailer looks like just such a push and honestly, I would rather not read my trailers, thanks.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
