06/24/2018 If you're a fan of the Cub's and PJ you'll love it. See more 10/06/2017 Rare insight behind Vedder's love for the Cubs. And a few standout performances. Had all the feels also. There's no band like Pearl Jam. Will see this again. See more 10/04/2017 Highly recommended if you also love Pearl Jam and the Cubs. See more 10/04/2017 Fantastic and magical. Well shot, woven between history, music and sports. Didn't want it to end and will see it again. This Gil give not only great unknown perspective on Pearl Jam and Eddie but also highlight the utter brilliance of what an unreal baseball season it was for the loves Losers of yesterday. Eddie's passion for the team has actually been infused into the franchise and city and in all reality helped lead to the Cubs World Series Victory. An incredible rockumentary you would be mistaken not to go enjoy. I LOVED IT! ?????? See more 10/04/2017 Almost as good as the real thing. If you're not American and/or don't care about baseball, the in-between-songs bits won't interest too much, but it is great to see Eddie so passionate, especially with the flashbacks to 1992 too. Some great renditions and almost a full concert's worth of songs. See more 10/04/2017 I did not go to my local screening of Lets Play Two with any specific expectations except to be treated to some awesome Oearl Jam concert footage. I was not disappointed. It really is unfair to say that the movie can't decide to be a baseball movie or a concert movie because It really is neither. This film is a celebration of a long awaited World Series championship and the deep pride of a native son who, along with his band mates, throws a party for tens of thousands of their closest friends to celebrate. Beng the Chicago native, this easily could have been an Eddie Vedder solo concert but we get an honest sense of just how close the members of Pearl Jam really are when Mike McCready comments that the decision was made to make their two night commitment a PJ show because it "was important to Eddie". The title, Lets Play Two, is a tributed reference to a quote by lifelong Cub, Ernie Banks who once said that it was such a nice day to play ball, "let's play two." This rockumentary is crafted together by mingling footage showing how the Cubs got to the best of seven series against the Cleveland Indians and expertly shot concert footage of Pearl Jam's sold out shows at Wrigley Field. You can't help but join the crowd and sing along to some of the bands best known songs while marveling at the energy and talent of lead guitar player, Mike McCready, the iconic and soulful vocals of Eddie Vedder and the astonishing fervor of the fans who manage to dance/clap/jump in unison despite that they literally fill the stadium. By the end, the pride Eddie feels for his beloved Cubbies radiates with his broad smile. And you leave the theater walking a little taller, a bit of a spring in your step. Every fan of Pearl Jam should see this film. You won't be disappointed. See more Read all reviews
