Summary: Off the Black is a coming-of-age story of teenager Dave Tibbel (Morgan) who copes with his own distant father (Hutton) by forming an unlikely friendship with a disheveled, irascible high school umpire, Ray Cooke (Nolte). As they grow more dependent on each other, Ray asks Dave to go to his 40th high school reunion and pretend to be his son, a benevolent act of deception that winds up opening unexpected dimensions in the two men.

"Nick Nolte's grizzled, alcoholic recluse mentors Trevor Morgan's unhappy teen in Off the Black, a heartwarming tale that's been told a thousand times before, and with considerably more spark." - Nick Schager

nolte is good...movie is plain

Not exactly original but exquisitely acted and subtle, Nick Notle's portrayals of men who've lived and seen enough to know when to forgive and in what measure are reason enough to keep watching movies.
