By 2008, more than 25 percent of major league baseball players were born in Latin America. Directed by Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, Sugar is a sports movie about 19 year old Algenis Perez Soto (Miguel "Sugar" Santos) a kid from the Dominican Republican pitcher who grinds his way to the to top make it successful to make it to the major league and put his family in a better place. To get ahead he plays professionally at a baseball academy in Dominican Republic. After playing very well during one of his game Miguel got the opportunity to go be a part of a major league team in the United States. Miguel joins the Kansas Knights and was signed to their single A team.
Personally I like Sugar but I think I would of enjoyed the movie more if it was in English and instead of reading the subtitles. I would rate this movie a 6 out of 10 due to the fact I couldn't understand what they were saying. This movie is a perfect example of working hard for what you want. Starting from the bottom and working your way to the top. Miguel had nothing but still grind to put himself in a better position for him and his family. I would definitely recommend this film to anyone who aspire to achieve anything in life. Now in society everything isn’t handed to you unless you're born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Eighty percent of people do have to work hard for the finer things and life to have a better living situation especially females. There is beauty in the struggle.
