Give us all the movie stars in an expensive romcom and we still want more Kathryn Hahn.

That's just one of the many complaints from one co-host as we celebrate the return of baseball this April with our own list of the sport as featured in film. "Instead of juicing it up with jokes, Brooks has inadvertently given us another story of the American condition, which is that of absolute and incorrigible self-centredness" was the take from Anthony Quinn of the Independent. And while not wrong... a little harsh for a movie where Owen Wilson hands out gift baskets like Derek Jeter and Paul Rudd makes a bet with his father that he can get Reese Witherspoon to fall in love with him, otherwise a prison sentence is in order. It's all very sporting and nice. A lovely episode!
