The Yankles

Comedy / USA / 115 minutes / 2009 / English Written by David R. Brooks and Zev Brooks Charlie is a washed-up ex-major league baseball player, sentenced to mandatory community service for a drunken driving conviction. An upstart team of yeshiva students have the chutzpah to join the Collegiate Baseball League and are desperately in need of a coach (Is this a match made in heaven?). As these unlikely partners join together in their crazily ambitious quest to win the championship, the lines between teacher and pupils become blurred. Charlie learns what it takes to be a mensch and in the process finds redemption. This movie is a Jewish smorgasboard with something (including romance and a wonderful soundtrack) for the entire family to enjoy. Co-stars Don Most
