    Editorial Reviews

    "If you build it, he will come." That's the ethereal message that inspires Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) to construct a baseball diamond in the middle of his cornfield. At first, "he" seems to be the ghost of disgraced ballplayer Shoeless Joe Jackson (Ray Liotta), who materializes on the ballfield and plays a few games with the awestruck Ray. But as the weeks go by, Ray receives several other messages from a disembodied voice, one of which is "Ease his pain." He realizes that his ballfield has been divinely ordained to give a second chance to people who have sacrificed certain valuable aspects of their lives. One of these folks is Salingeresque writer Terence Mann (James Earl Jones), whom Ray kidnaps and takes to a ball game and then to his farm. Another is Doc Graham (Burt Lancaster), a beloved general practitioner who gave up a burgeoning baseball career in favor of medicine. The final "second-chancer" turns out to be much closer to Ray. That "magical" field in Dyersville, Iowa still draws thousands of baseball-happy tourists each year. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    My favorite movie of all times!by PhilliesPhan22

    February 23, 2009: There are so many parts of this movie that remind me of my relationship with my Dad. We both loved baseball and played catch a lot. While my relationship with my Dad was not as stormy as the characters in the movie, I would love the opportunity to walk onto the Field of Dreams and play catch with him one more time.

    This is one of those movies you can watch over and over and find something new that you missed before.

    May 13, 2007: This is the best movie ever. The end is a real tear-jerker with the inspirational music and Ray playing catch with his dad. The book that this movie is based on, "Shoeless Joe" by WP Kinsella, is in my Top 5 Best Books List.

    About Field of Dreams

    Parents need to know that this is a very family- and kid-friendly movie. There are a few swear words and references to drugs.

    Families Can Talk About

    Families can talk about why Annie's brother Mark doesn't see the baseball players at first. Why is he able to see them later? What did Ray mean when he talked about how he needed to insult his father's hero when he was a teenager? How do you know when to follow a dream that seems crazy or foolish?
