Few phrases capture a sports fan’s agony like “Bucky F***ing Dent.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The light-hitting Yankees shortstop made Red Sox fans miserable in 1978, turning his name into a Beantown slur. His stunning, three-run homer<\/a> in the one-game playoff between the bitter rivals is one of baseball’s best moments.<\/p>\n

It also inspired the title behind David Duchovny’s “Bucky F***ing Dent,”<\/a> the novel he turned into his second directorial effort.<\/p>\n

“Reverse the Curse” should throb with a fan’s undying passion. Instead, the story teeters between forced humor and treacly melodrama. A few poignant moments rise to the surface, suggesting what a far better film might look like.<\/p>\n

That’s a shame because Duchovny hasn’t been this compelling in a while.<\/p>\n

It’s 1978, and our main character spends his days flinging peanuts to hungry fans at Yankee Stadium.<\/p>\n

Teddy (Logan Marshall-Green) wants to write novels, but he’s stuck in perpetual adolescence, down to his Wolverine-like sideburns. His stupor is shaken by word that his estranged father Marty (Duchovny) is dying.<\/p>\n

The son reluctantly decamps to Marty’s house, and their past disagreements quickly flare up. Marty’s “death coach” Mariana (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine<\/a>‘s” Stephanie Beatriz) brings down the temperature, but there’s so much anguish between father and son it’ll take more than her presence to keep the peace.<\/p>\n

At least Marty and Teddy can agree on loving the Sox, caught in an epic battle with their rivals in the summer of 1978.<\/p>\n

And we all know how that turned out.<\/p>\n
