It is not often you see a movie that embraces romance with intelligence because most romantic films often give way to psychological trauma or ends up with too much sex in it. But when it comes to the recently released movie 'Brampton's Own,' it does not fall in any of those dark areas, but instead looks at love in a whole new perspective. The movie revolves around a struggling minor league baseball player who arrives at a decision to retire and return back to his hometown in order to try and win back the girl he loves and whose heart he ended up breaking. 

'Brampton's Own' stars, Alex Russell (Chronicle, Only The Brave), who plays Jim Street on CBS'SWAT, Rose Mclver (The CW's iZombie), and in supporting roles; Spencer Grammer (Rick and Morty), Scott Porter (Dear John), John Getz (The Social Network), and Jean Smart (FX's Legion).
