Before you watch this make sure to watch Miss Lonely Yesterday, it's basically the part 2 to that. I liked both movies as each one really goes over the individual aspects of touch.MLY was mostly the drama of the old show with some baseball thrown in there. Cross Road is mostly the baseball of the old show with some drama thrown in there. The story is good and everything is pretty standard so I can't really give it more than a 7 as it does its job of being a more drawn out conclusion to the general story of touch, HOWEVER, I feel that bothMLY and Cross Road would have been better as full on seasons. With time to draw out more content and make things feel less rushed both story lines really could have left Touch! as a champion of baseball and probably sports anime in general. Instead you get two sequel movies with way too fast pacing that feel akin to Disney straight to DVD sequels. I definitely feel that both movies are a must watch for people who finished Touch and they are solid movies that don't belittle or tarnish the original story or characters (something that can happen all too easily in other late entries to established franchises).
