Rating: Summary: A Homerun! Review: An absolutely wonderful period comedy about the Women's Baseball League, A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN sports exceptional performances by Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Lori Petty, Madonna, and even the incessantly and annoyingly nasal Rosie O'Donnell. An excellent script about an overlooked era in baseball history, the film succeeds on every level. Told with the narrative bookends of a flashback, LEAGUE is the story of two sisters who end up feuding over the right way to live their lives: making hits out of the park or making a family. While it doesn't cast any judgments, LEAGUE does pass on the wisdom that, ultimately, it's your own personal happiness that matters.
Rating: Summary: Just shy of a homerun Review: A little too sentimental for its own good, "A League of Their Own" comes up just shy of a homerun.The bittersweet comedy is the true story of 1943's all-woman baseball league, put together to satisfy baseball fans while the male players went to war. Geena Davis, Lori Petty and Madonna star as the women determined to prove their mettle and disprove the popular belief that "girls" can't play the game. Tom Hanks co-stars as their lovable, perpetually drunk coach, and Jon Lovitz appears in a scene-stealing cameo. The film more or less follows the pattern of most sports films, setting up the conflict that will eventually pit sister against sister in the climactic championship game. It's testament to director Penny Marshall that the film mostly manages to rise above the clichéd storyline, at least until the awkward epilogue, which forces emotion instead of letting it unfold, and reduces its characters to caricatures. A League of Their Own isn't quite in a league of its own, but it's pretty close.

Rating: Summary: A League of Their Own Review: A League of Their Own is a really good movie. It stars a girl named Dottie who used to be the catcher on a women's baseball team. She is constantly rivaling with her kid sister Kit over plays, calls, and much more. After a rough tryout, Dottie and Kit meet Dorris, May, Shirley, Betty, and many more. Tom Hanks stars as the manager, who befriends Dottie. This is a great movie for all who enjoy baseball.
Rating: Summary: Interesting bit of base history Review: A well written script and plenty of good talent this movie delivers an enjoyable and entertaining experience. The only good movie that Madonna has ever been in as far as I can remember. Hanks and Davis are great of course and the movie delivers a bit of little known baseball history. Very entertaining and a strong recommendation.
