Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Phenom was a pretty good movie. It's about a highly recruited baseball star that gets a case of the "yips" after making to the "big show," and starting the psychological process to get him over it.

being a sucker for almost any baseball film, this fit the bill, with great performances, picture quality is great and sound quality equally great.. a must for the baseball flick fan!

Nice movie not to hard to follow. Wish someone would make more baseball movies. Great price thanks Best Buy.

Decent movie about a rookie phenom pitcher Who becomes a head case due to his father's drunken dealings

Very good sports movie that covers a lot more. Compelling story, with an above average cast.

Slow start have to pay close attention or you will miss stuff overall a nice movie.

Movie is great i would recommend this movie to anybody that wants to relax.

Great movie, refreshing and thought provoking. I really enjoyed Paul Giamatti's character and how he engages the fallen superstar. In some ways, many people can relate to the themes in the movie - the idea of attempting to overcome inner demons, adjusting to a lifestyle with extreme stressors, etc.

Very simple movie that goes into great depth about the main character.

Good story and well acted. Not a baseball fan but enjoyed regardless.

Interesting movie that follows the psychological side of baseball

i like baseball movies and paul giamatti was great in this one.

I thought it was very well made and directed. Excellent cast.

I love baseball as I have played it for most of my life and I especially love the movies dealing with this national pastime so when I heard about this movie before it was released I knew that I had to buy it and check it out. I was very disappointed because there is way too much talking and almost nothing about the game itself. The acting didn't impress me either. I think you can slip this one.

Lacks the punch of a bigger released movie of similar background. My copy had sound issues.

Alright move and alight cast, I enjoy sports movies but need actors that can play sports

I was excited to watch this movie, because I am a huge fan of both Ethan Hawke and Paul Giamatti, but this movie just didn't do it for me. It is very slow and boring at times. I will say this though. There were some scenes that were shot and directed very well and had some interesting takes.

Was a decent watch but has been done many times over and over

Powerfully acted and emotionally affecting, The Phenom proves a baseball movie can step away from the mound and still deliver a heater down the middle.

The movie is powerful and the acting was great to see. It's a must see for sports lovers.
