I hate baseball, and my dad has tried countless times to get me to watch it. Finally, he did, and it was not just about baseball. It was about following your dreams and it was pretty inspiring. Some kids may be bored in it. There are a few drug references, but nothing that severe. Something commonsense did not pick up on is there is a discussion of banning a book and they say "pornography" and "masturbation." But that will be unnoticed by kids. The littlest kids may be confused, but I'd say good for 10+.

As a baseball lover and a movie lover this movie is a rare treasure. Compleatly approaite for anyone over eight. Some bad lauange and a slightly sophisticated plot may make this a bad pick for young children though. A great family movie for after the small ones are asleep.

Field of Dreams is an excellent story about a man lives on a farm with his wife, Annie, and daughter. One day he hears The Voice, telling him "If you build it, he will come." Ray (Kevin Costner), then sees a vision of a baseball field. He decides to build the field on his land, with the support of Annie. The Voice comes back and tells him to do various other things, and along for the ride comes a retired author (James Earl Jones), and several baseball sensations such as Shoeless Joe and Moonlight Graham. Ray obeys The Voice, and soon he comes to find what he's been missing all his life. This film is very inspirational and carries a message, though the plot may confuse young ones and the language used is much worse than darn and heck. This makes this movie innapropriate for anyone under 12, and maybe some mature 11 year olds. But anyone who watches it will be inspired and will come away loving this movie.

Good movie.
