Doesn't live up to the hype

I grew up in the midwest and we had these yuppie farmer types but none so impractical as to create a baseball field with flood lights, landscaping, and stands. The sheer cost of that alone should have put the farm under.

The attitudes of the characters and their 60's romantic nostalgia doesn't make up for the fact that they're annoying people with equally as atrocious behavior as the ultra religious book burning peoole (Never witnessed that group.. even from the overly religious in our area).

The idea that this is about a guy's relationship with his father is fine, but the movie slogs through with a pathetic enthusiasm post 60's failed hippy POV. Sorry, but the guys i know who were obsessed with the 60's were generally useless until the bills needed to be paid. Then you'd get some work out of them. The average leftwing 60's hippie gave that crap up by the 80's and never looked back. Those who didn't were usually criminals, homeless, and welfare abusers.

Sorry, but I could care less about an idiot farmer destroying his business to see ghosts so he could see his dad again. The guy actively treated his dad like dirt even up to the end and the audience us supposed to forget that he was a selfish prick. He treated everyone else like secondary concerns for his own "dreams." He destroyed his business, lied to his family, invaded other peoples privacy, and talked about how awful his dad was up to the last scene. Then he squirts a tear because he can play catch with a guy he actively defamed the whole movie.

This movie sucks.
