After sitting next to parents at kids games I actually relate to this movie. I think it doesn't go far enough and could have been way funnier.

To fully appreciate Dealin' with Idiots, the viewer must have some working knowledge of its writer/director/star Jeff Garlin. Or perhaps patience is a more accurate description. I say RENT IT!!!

"Dealin' With Idiots," a sort of "Waiting for Guffman" for Little League, isn't a great movie, but it's a heck of a lot better than its title.

Variety

[A] flat, aimless comedy skewering the parents of junior baseball players.

Garlin's ultra-restrained approach suggests that attempting hilarity is sometimes a veiled defense mechanism.

Rated: B+

Garlin's second feature is consistently sweet, funny and smart. Keep it up.

Film Journal International

Much of Dealin' with Idiots feels improvised, which is okay when the actors are fully on their game. But here, perhaps the heat of the day and location or insufficiently precise direction have resulted in an awful lot of dead screen time.
