Excellent Baseball Movie

Rating: 9/10 (28 March 2003)

This is undoubtedly one of the best and funniest baseball movies of all time. I first saw it when I was ten; I laughed my ass off then, and I still do every time I see it. Kevin Costner was in his prime when he made this wickedly hilarious film about a seasoned catcher assigned to tame a talented but uncontrolled pitcher (Tim Robbins) in the Carolina leagues. Throw in Susan Sarandon as the woman who unofficially "handles" the team (and Robbins) and you've got a story sent straight from the baseball gods. The script is stellar and the acting is terrific- I recommend this pic to anyone that likes baseball or movies. And if you're reading this and you don't like either, may God have mercy on your soul.
