Plot:
Bernie Mac is perfectly cast in Mr. 3000, a feel-good baseball comedy that capitalizes on Mac's established comedy persona. He plays Stan Ross, veteran first-baseman for the struggling Milwauke...( read more

MCT:August 18, 2008another great Bernie Mac movie! A must see and another dvd for your collection!:) We miss u Bernie!:(

MCT:August 10, 2008Ah, the Mac man. Even though this movie was not a hit I enjoyed it very much. Bernie plays a selfish ballplayer very well. The scenes when he makes his comeback and tries to play ball are very funny and he looks like he can't play at all, which of course he couldn't. In the end he doesn't reach his goal which only makes me like this more. R.I.P. Bernie. "Staaaan Rosss!"

Ten years ago, a Milwaukee Brewers baseball player's (Bernie Mac) fantasy became reality when he hit his 3000th career hit. After the game, he announces his retirement from the game where he has a love/hate relationship with fans and sportscasters. Years later, he is trying to get into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame, however a clerical error is discovered and it is learned that he is actually a few hits short of his record 3000 career hits. Now, the team owner decides to have "Ross" return to the Brewers, who retired his number, to try to get those last few hits and regain his mark, and to get attendance at games up.
Now all he has to do is get back into game shape, and work with the now-lackluster team headed by an up-and-coming star (Brian J. White) that reminds him of the way he was during his career.
Mr. 3000 runs on a few sight gags and verbal jokes -- most of which only makes you chuckle. There are no real laugh-out-loud jokes anywhere in this film.
Bernie Mac as the lead character, "Stan Ross" is actually pretty good. You start off hating "Ross", but slowly warm up to him as his temperament slowly improves as the movie goes on. You may find a lot of players in real-life today much like "Ross" is during his original career at the start of the movie. However, his comedic timing seems forced into many scenes.
The premise of the movie is somewhat believable, but I don't think any player who hasn't played in a decade or more would actually go back on the field on a regular basis. The on-field games are well done, and the inserts of actual sports shows and TV commercials into scenes are done quite nicely. The supporting cast is barely defined, with many not on screen all that much. The love story isn't all that much believable, and neither are "Ross'" friendships.
The ending is not the best, in fact it's just "Ross" giving highlights of what happened after his final game.
Baseball fans might like this one a bit more than the rest of the audience out there -- that includes fans of The Bernie Mac Show -

Big Horse Borelli: You know, a lot of people said that Stan only looked out for himself, that he wasn't a team player. But I'm here to tell you, if you get 3000 hits, you don't have to be a team player. If you have a lifetime .314 average, you don't have to be a good guy. If you lead the league in batting for three years, you can be the biggest jerk in the world!
Bernie Mac stars as a baseball player who quit the game after getting his 3000th hit. Problem is, years later, when up for a spot in the hall of fame, it is learned that he is in fact 3 hits shy of 3000. Now, to keep his title as Mr. 3000, he has to get back in the game, despite his past ego making him unlikable.
The movie itself is somewhat formulaic, with an ok enough way of playing itself out, but Bernie Mac is enough of a good presence to make this movie enjoyable.
Tom Arnold: Hey, we're sorry about all that stuff we said before you hit that homer...
Stan: Yeah, you wouldn't be anywhere if it wasn't for Roseanne. -

This movie is so funny!! Plus I love Bernie Mac and his comedy so was waiting to see this one. And I love the way the movie had a romantic side to it!! Angela Bassett did great. And what can I say about Bernie Mac that some people don't already know. Well this man is hilarious!! ANd the movie was awesome. Something that keeps me laughing just like I like!! and something I can watch everyday!!!

MCT:May 22, 2008Funny, always loved Bernie Mac and he was great in this film. A little far fetched him being a professional baseball player but he did a good job at the fantasy

03-10-08 --A story about a athlete that doesn't know the meaning of "team". Well that all changes in expected fashion as this once pro-athlete goes back to try it again 9 years after he retired to chase a record that will definately put him in the hall of fame. But what is more important, Stats/Records or Team Accomplishments?

MCT:February 26, 2008
Not the best baseball comedy on the market but not that bad either. Mac is charming even in his egotistical role, but the lack of motive behind him becoming a team player is the downfall for this movie.

-
MCT:January 2, 2008A really good comedic premise, and I really love Bernie Mac -- but I don't think the movie really pans out very well.

This was the start of a deeper appreciation for Bernie Mac. -

I love the look of this movie, the ESPN-ness and such, but the plot and jokes were horrible. Not funny.

I really can NOT stand Bernie Mac. He really annoys me. I liked the movie concept, but it just wasn't done right.
-
MCT:July 5, 2006
Bernie Mac takes on a lead role and despite expecting much more in terms of laughs, it delivers much more in a storyline - that is willing to sacrifice personal glory and be a team player instead. What was more important? His 3,000th shot or for his team to win? He made the choice that would make him a greater star than hitting that elusive THREE THOUSAND.
