Everyone's Hero arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The jokes in Everyone's Hero land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. A boy begins a grand journey to return Babe Ruth's baseball bat before the deciding game of the 1932 World Series comes to a close. The chemistry Jake T. Austin and Rob Reiner bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It was released in 2006.

It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Everyone's Hero is a strong candidate. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work.
