Rating: 2.5/4 --
American Pastime's inclusive, forgiving message could hardly be more admirable. It could have been more exciting, though.
Los Angeles Daily News
Full of interesting characters and placed in a charged setting, but the preachy and obvious spin it takes is ultimately melodramatic and predictable.

American Pastime asks what it truly means to be an American. What better question to ask these days?

Rating: C --
While historically sensitive and thought-provoking, the film has serious flaws. The story line is scattered and the direction uneven.
Fresno Bee
With such rich material about dreams deferred, it's disheartening that co-writer-director Desmond Nakano's nobly made but patchy drama mires itself in nostalgia tropes and storytelling clichés.

Product Description:
AMERICAN PASTIME takes a Japanese perspective on the events of World War II, making it a cinematic cousin of Clint Eastwood's LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA. Most of the events take place after the war has finished, and revolve around a group of Japanese-Americans who faced prejudice and scorn in the U.S. Fortunately, their love of baseball goes a long way to repairing Japanese and American relations.
