Rating: 5.0
Memorable and Worthwhile
I admit that I am a baseball junkie and did not know as much about this part of the great american pastime as I should have and before I saw the movie I did not know the historical perspective of the subject matter. But that changed.This is just an out and out great movie with a wonderful cast, Tom Hanks and Geena Davis turn in wonderful performances. I am not a big fan of either Madonna or Rosie O'Donnell, but because of their efforts in this movie I do take a double look whenever I ssee their names because they were brilliant here.And the comdey is steller. It is full of memorable lines that have become part of baseball's lexicon (well at least for baseball fans) with "There's no Crying In Baseball" something that is used by everyone everywhere nowadays, probably more so than any other catch phrase from any movie that many people know.Laughs and even bittersweet tears permeate the movie and Penny Marshall turns in her usual top notch ability to make a movie that is memorable and enjoyable. And it has a good bit of baseball history thrown in to boot.
