They change their names in order to avoid a federal tax investigation. When the talented son starts playing Little League, the locals can't help but notice him. Soon his talents attract unwanted national attention. The film also stars Michelle Johnson and Mike Starr. Though made in 2001, the release date was pushed back several years due to an unrelated, real-life Little League scandal. Mickey was briefly released in 2003 in the Little League headquarters town of Williamsport, PA. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

    A decent flick but I expected more from John Grisham. It was hard to form a bond between any of the characters as they were all criminals or cheats and it also easily portrayed the evils of little league baseball (it has never been about the kids) but it did have some fun basebal... read morel scenes and decent acting. Nothing special here but worth a watch for baseball fans.

    From the perspective of someone who has experienced the absurdly complex Little League tournament system first hand, this is brilliant, if appealing to a narrow audience.

    Hugh Wilson directs this cute, whimsical, heart rendereing, loveable film. Strange things happen in this one. A well rounded family film, you have to see to believe...

Joe Leydon, Variety

Despite telltale evidence of budgetary constraints -- production values are at direct-to-video level -- helmer Hugh Wilson (Blast From the Past) delivers a reasonably well-crafted piece of work. Full Review

A quiet, introspective film. Full Review

Unless you're a serious baseball dad or a youngster who dreams of making it to the Little League World Series, it's going to take tenacity to stay focused until the closing credits. Full Review

It's hardly your typical Grisham project, but, that said, it's a far more enjoyable time than several of his recent cinematic adaptations. Full Review

...never quite becomes anything more than a passable time-waster. Full Review

Mickey is a 105-minute defense of bad behavior disguised as a good-natured heartwarmer. Full Review

Mickey manages to suck the poetry and camaraderie out of the baseball-movie formula, and what's left over is a mean-spirited hunger for victory at all costs.
