Like Kevin Costner But this film is over-rated

Rating: 3/10 (29 May 2005)

Kevin Costner is a fine actor, and is believable in a role as a ball player. Problem with this film is a poor script. A fine cast is wasted by the script. The script makes the situation seem not real, and the humor is poorly done.
The late Max Patkin, clown prince of baseball is excellent & I saw him live at a minor league game, he was a class act & the script does not ruin his cameo role in this film. Too bad the whole film was not about Max, as a story about his life would make an interesting film. Bull Durham's problem is the script for the rest of the story this film tells is so mediocre. It is not written well enough to hang jokes on.
This film could have been so much better that I think even Costner realized it & went on to do FIELD OF DREAMS in order to try & make the public forget about this effort. Baseball has been done in comedy form in a lot of films, & I would suggest the film MAJOR LEAGUE as being much better than this effort.
