The film stands out as a reminder of the importance of these types of films. It's a story about hope, perseverance, and the power of believing in something bigger than yourself. It's a well-crafted, heart-warming story that the whole family can enjoy.

There’s really nothing wrong with “You Gotta Believe” — other than slack filmmaking, a clichéd musical score that goes for the jugular, a weird sex joke when a rival pitcher turns out to be a gurl, and... not enough baseball.

The movie incorporates the enormous life lessons of loss -- and the soul-healing powers of baseball and teamwork. It’s not the score on the board that matters, but the spirit on and off the field.

Overly sappy and poorly edited, You Gotta Believe takes real events about an underdog Little League baseball team and turns everything to a mush-filled drama with unimpressive acting. You know how this movie ends before it even starts.
