The Scout
In this hilarious fantasy for baseball lovers, Albert Brooks stars as a desperate Yankee scout who'll do anything to sign a new prospect. Banished to Mexico to search for talent, he discovers the greatest young ball player (Brendan Fraser) he's ever seen. But once he gets him back home, he finds this new recruit has a few unexpected problems that just may jeopardize both their jobs. Dianne Wiest, Lane Smith, and Tony Bennett co-star, along with some of baseball's most popular players.

Rookie of the Year
The ultimate fantasy for a Little Leaguer comes true and a whole city is electrified with baseball fever in actor/director Daniel Stern's "grand slam for baseball fans of all ages!" (WBAI Radio) When the cast is removed from his broken arm, clumsy 12-year-old Henry Rowengartner (Thomas Ian Nicholas) is shocked to find his arm has become a 100-mile-per-hour thunderbolt. His throw from the bleachers directly to home plate alerts the last place Chicago Cubs and before you can shout "play ball!" he is signed as their new ace pitcher. With a few pointers from an aging star pitcher (Gary Busey), young Henry actually manages to pull off the impossible.

Like Mike
Teenage rap sensation Lil Bow Wow makes his feature film debut in this "surefire heart-warmer" (Los Angeles Times) about an orphan boy named Calvin who lives out his dream of playing in the NBA - with a little help from a magical pair of sneakers! Soon after he laces up the mysterious high-tops, Calvin's amazing basketball skills land him a spot on the Los Angeles Knights team. In addition to hitting 25-foot jumpers and throwing down rim-rattling dunks, the small superstar sets his sights on another dream - having a family. But first he and his pals must defeat Bittleman, the orphanage headmaster trying to sabotage Calvin's career and dash his hopes of ever being adopted. Filled with high flying fun and hilarious hijinks, Like Mike will have your whole family cheering into overtime!
