A fairly engaging story

Rating: Null/10 (13 May 2011)

This film is about the happenings of two baseball players' year in a minor league team.
"Bull Durham" is only fairly engaging, which is a surprise as it is a sports movie. The reason is that it is not really about baseball. In is in fact about two baseball players and a woman with a thing for baseball players. Hence, the poignant scenes of victory are not prominently seen in "Bull Durham". Fortunately, the three main characters are equally interesting. Susan Sarandon is particularly memorable as a temptress, her desperate exclamation after her failure to seduce Tim Robbins is intense and also comical at the same time.
