“Full Count” (** out of four) was a mawkish melodrama about a promising young pitcher (John Paul Kakos) who is forced to give up his dream of being a professional baseball player when his father (Jason London) dies and he has to return home to support the family farm and is placed at a personal/professional/economic crossroads in life. Earnest story has some effective moments in its first half but story goes in all different directions in its second half, especially as it goes into extra innings and goes on too long. Not a strike out but doesn’t connect emotionally as it should.
