Ball Sixteen

Rating: Null/10 (27 June 2000)

This movie is very funny and worth seeing. It contains every sports cliche since the Greeks first threw a spear. It is not a great baseball movie but a great comedy. The Rene Russo character is aboard for the sole purpose of being The Girl, so she is wasted. There are several good actors in this movie - James Gammon and Margaret Whitton among them - which adds to some mediocre acting by Bernsen and Berenger. Wesley Snipes first showed his star appeal in this movie and Charlie Sheen is tolerable for a change. Why this movie needed two sequels is anyone's guess, though.
