A Little Inside is a movie about a successful minor league ball player who gave up his career to raise his daughter when his wife died in a car accident. We are given very little information about Ed Mills' wife or her passing. The plot develops very slowly- and we see his neighbor, Nancy, a sort of busy body, who we find out later never married or had any children of her own. While well-intentioned, she butts into Ed's life just a little too much in my opinion- and even has a bedroom in her house set up for Abby (Ed's daughter). I appreciate this movie because of its integrity- Ed Mills chose to raise his daughter over anything else in his life- while he didn't quit loving the game of baseball- his daughter was the most important thing in his life. The relationship between Ed and Sarah Parker could have been developed much more- more information could have been given about Nancy- but that may have been too much Hollywood for this movie. It was almost like information was left out intentionally- almost like the story was seen through the eyes of Ed Mills. Two thumbs up for the performances of Hallie Kate Eisenberg and Benjamin King- both did an excellent job in this movie- which I would definitely recommend, but not if you want a thriller or a fast-paced blockbuster.
