Spring training is in full *ahem* swing, so the 20th installment of Scoring At The Movies slugs onto the baseball diamond with Mr. Baseball.

Tom Selleck brings his hirsute charm to this fairly authentic baseball comedy, although Chris thinks Magnum P.I. isn’t Magnum P.I.’ing it enough. We definitely agreed that---once again---the sports comedy in question just isn’t very funny. We also talked about Japanese culture, the surprising lack of product placement and Selleck’s character’s stubborn refusal to assimilate. We got into his stormy relationship with his manager & with his lady friend Hiroko and, dumbly, we forgot to talk about the fact that the manager, “Chief” Uchiyama, is her father. We certainly hashed out the “bad baseball” going on in the big game. So bunt a few shuutos and hear us nitpick “Jack In Japan”.
