Rating: 5.0
Completely HALARIOUS! A must have!
I t seems like only yesterday when I was in 2nd grade, and the movie "A League of their Own" was a hit in theaters. Why was it a hit, you might ask? I myself think that it's because "A League of their own" attracks a wide audience range. I saw this when I was little, but adults enjoy it as well. It can be told as a sports story, but also includes love stories. It also is good for World War II buff's because (most of) it takes place in the WWII era. The story begins with Dotty Hensen (Geena Davis) who is then an older grandmother. She is invited to a new Hall of Fame dedicated to the Women's Baseball League. When coming into the field to meet her old teammates, she starts to remember everything that happened. That's when the movie flashes back in time and the main story takes place. Dotty is invited to play for a new league of Women's Baseball, since the men are at war. She accepts, only if her kid sister Kit (Lori Petty) can come along. Finally they both try out and get into the same team, Rockaford Peaches. Jimmy Doogan (Tom Hanks) is the team's coach, and doesn't exactly like the concept of coaching girls baseball. From then on, friendships grow among the players and historical instinces occur. Overall, I'd reccomend "A League of Their own" to fans of movies in general. The acting is great. Madonna (Mae) and Rosie O'Donnell (Doris) also make this movie funny. This is one of the best movies of the 90's, and no one's collection is complete without it.
