Brampton's Own

In Brampton’s Own baseball player Dustin, played by Alex Russell, has to move back home due to a forced early retirement. Dustin tries to reconnect with his ex-lover and learns she has a new boyfriend. While working to balance work life, home life, and win back the girl, this movie still incorporates hilarious moments that made the whole thing so fun to watch.

Brampton’s Own brought me right back to my hometown. When Dustin (Alex Russell) returns to home after he was having a difficult time making it out of the minor leagues, he was reunited with his highschool sweetheart Rachel (Rose McIver). Russell and McIver were so cute together, I found myself rooting for their relationship to work out throughout the film. I also loved how well written this film was. I’ve often seen similar movie go off track, but this movie seemed to know exactly where it was going which made it super easy to relax and get lost in the movie for an hour. I would recommend this to anyone looking for for a light and fun movie to watch.

To take time to enjoy the journey and not rushing the future is the main lesson that is to be learned from the new romantic sports film Brampton’s Own. AAA baseball player Dustin has been hoping to be called up to the majors but is turned down for the 12th year at the end of the season. Dustin decides to give up his baseball dream and return to his hometown of Brampton, where he was the local baseball star and stud that dated the cute girl in town. He struggles with adjusting to a life without baseball while deciding if he should try to get his high school crush back. This is overall an entertaining and fun movie, featuring many funny moments that had me laughing throughout. The acting is charming, specifically Alex Russel who plays Dustin. A nice blend of romance and humor, this sports film is an exciting feel good movie.
