    Ignore these haters who are getting on you about the first few minutes of the video. If it's that big of a deal to them, then they can simply unsubscribe and stop watching your videos. But I absolutely LOVED this reaction. I was so excited for you to react to this movie and it definitely lived up to my expectations! You're very quickly becoming one of my favorite reactors. Keep up the awesome work!

    Til this day, Hardball is one of the hardest movies to watch towards the end. It really makes you love those damn kids, and it hits hard seeing what they go through and also knowing its not made up. Its as real as it gets, your tears are justified. This movie makes me shed a tear every damn time, Ive worked with kids in after school programs and they have a certain charm that nothing can replicate. Love your reactions. 100

It was the person and it is frustrating that people don't realize how impactable they can be to kids when they need to be. And I got to say MJ. I'm glad that you finally covered this movie. It is a childhood favorite and it's definitely worth the watch.
