Liked it, but SLAP SHOT did it better

Rating: 6/10 (18 January 2019)

Saw it in the theater as well as many times on video/cable and have always enjoyed it.
I noticed how many people have compared it to other baseball movies such as Bad News Bears and Bull Durham. Those are easy comparisons but not entirely accurate- if you throw on Slap Shot and then watch Major League, it's really pretty obvious that ML is essentially just a retelling of the same story that Slap Shot had done 12 years earlier (and better) just two different sports.
The performances & production make for fun viewing though, so if you like comedic sports movies this is a good choice.
