Almost as bad as "Field Of Dreams"

Rating: Null/10 (5 November 2002)

Kevin Costner's first entry into his so called "baseball trilogy" (followed by "Field Of Dreams" and "For Love Of The Game") is the best one but that doesn't really mean that it's necessarily good. Costner portrays a veteran baseball catcher who helps a newcomer (Tim Robbins) learn the ropes. The film also involves Susan Sarandon as a baseball groupie whose reputation of sleeping with one player every season leads her to pursue Robbins and Costner as her next conquests in that "field." Not nearly as funny as it should be but at least it's better than the overly sappy baseball fantasy "Field Of Dreams" which was released the following year.
