Product: A League of Their Own (Widescreen Edition) [VHS] (1992)
Rating: 3.0
Peachy
A sometimes bawdy, bouncy, entertaining, smooth, sometimes moving, sometimes overemotional comedy based on the real-life All American Girls Professional Baseball League. My favorite scenes are the early scenes with the grousing scout played by Jon Lovitz. "See, the way it works is, the train moves, not the station." The rest of the way, the film is uneven, sometimes hitting the mark, but other times (like the framing scenes) missing. Although "A League of Their Own" deals with a worthy theme and has a lot of charm, it sometimes goes for cheap laughs and tears and occasionally veers into gratuitous sacrilege. Finally, as a longtime Cleveland resident, I assure you, there IS crying in baseball.
