One of the Best Baseball Movies Ever

Rating: Null/10 (9 May 2004)

**MILD SPOILER ALERT**
I'm amazed at the negative comments this movie has elicited. This was an instant classic the minute it was released; Sarandon breathes life into the sensuous Annie Savoy, Costner does what he does best -- and surprisingly, he actually *looks* like a real ball player, unlike many actors who try to take on such roles -- and Tim Robbins as "Nuke" LaLoosh is one of the high points of his career to date. Sexy, funny, smart -- what else could you want? And for those turned off by Annie's serial monogamy: well, isn't the point of the whole movie that Crash gets her off the merry-go-round? Certainly one of the best baseball movies ever, the other surprise is that none of the great lines in this movie aren't included. What baseball fan who's seen this movie could ever forget Costner's monologue on his beliefs? Go. See.
