From the writer and director of Half Nelson comes a story about a Domincan Pitcher who's got the goods to make it to the United States. Just 20 years old, Sugar explores the start of Miguel "Sugar" Santos' career start as he goes from big shot to just another kid trying to make it in Double A Ball in Iowa for the Kansas City Knights (Royals)
This movie does a great job at capturing what happens to a prospect coming up. He goes through highs and lows all while supporting his family in his native D.R. It doesn't feature any cliches and is a pure baseball/life after baseball movie. 3.5/5
