    despite the fact madonna was in it and geena davis was equally awful... along with all the american made moral fibre to be rubbed in your face as well as tom hanks... (the list goes on) it still did manage to break through my crap radar into mediocrity rather than just plain old ...( read more)trash in my opinion. the only person to actually act was lori petty as kit keller. overall it was partially charming but it still feels like a couple of hours of my life i can't get back!

    "We're one for all, we're all for one, we're all American." "There's no crying in Baseball." This movie is great.

    During the Second World War many of America's male baseball stars were drafted into the forces, and it appeared that the nation might be deprived of its favourite sport. An entrepreneur therefore had the idea of creating an all-female baseball league. 'A League of their Own' tell...( read more)s the story of some of the women who played in that league. At the centre of the drama is the rivalry between two sisters, Dottie and Kit, who sign for the same team, the Rockford Peaches. The sisters have contrasting characters. Dottie is the more talented player, but Kit is more aggressive and determined to succeed. Kit's aggression and the sibling rivalry between her and Dottie lead to dissension in the team's dressing room, and Kit is traded to a rival team, the Racine Belles. The climax of the film comes when Rockford and Racine meet in the finals of the league championship, with Kit and Dottie on opposite teams. Geena Davis absolutely looks the part with her cool confidence and stately figure while Lori Petty is scrappy and believable as the little sister whose puck. But the guy who really holds the whole thing together is Tom Hanks as one-time home run king Jimmy Dugan, who is now the Rockford Peaches' alcoholic manager. His transformation from a crude, uncaring drunk to the team's hard-nosed but soft-hearted leader is very well and believably done. There is of course a somewhat self-conscious retrospective look at the sorry political and social state of women sixty years ago, but Marshall does not wallow in the politics. Instead she emphasizes a fun-to-watch tale with real human characters. The unpredictable, but believable ending was very agreeable.

"Well, I was going to write you a thank you, but I wasn't allowed anything sharp to wright with."
