    If you dont like baseball dont worry, this is still great fun. Quite cheeky and wisecracking, it has aged ok, I dont think many people have seen it here in the UK actually, cos of its sport content. There's a trilogy out there but dont bother this is the best, give it a try.
    'wan...( read more)t me to take him outside..beat the shit outta him?'

    Has all of the elements of a good sports comedy. It's funny, raunchy and the characters are underdogs.

    Not one of the best baseball movies per se, but certainly the funniest. A lot of future stars came out of this one and another standout that was never a big star in Chelcie Ross. Though this one came first, I think I still prefer the second one actually.

    Decent. Wesley Snipes' batting stance is the funniest part, when I first saw it.
  • February 17, 2008
    A charming little comedy with a lot of memorable / quotable moments. A fun two hours, and a decent enough baseball movie.

    Best baseball movie ever!! Can you hear "Wild Thing" as your favorite pitcher walks in from the bullpen at your favorite Major League ballpark?!? Enough said!!
  • October 22, 2009
    A bit too perverted and I guess would call it a guyflick.
  • October 22, 2009
    One of my Top 5 all time.
  • September 16, 2009
    The Indians have the worst coach ever. "I figger he's due". If only that rationale would work for the Braves.
  • September 15, 2009
    james gammon's opening dialog is the best... "sure, sure the cleveland indians, hold on i got a guy on the other line calling about dry wall".

    its what made the 80's great... a hollow story line that would never happen in real life yet you beleive because you want to believe... ...( read more)that you can wear a leather jacket when you walk onto a baseball field.
