Rating: Summary: bull durham Review: Sex and Baseball what could possibly be better? Great acting on Kevin's behalf. All-arround great movie!
Rating: Summary: Absolutely Wonderful Review: Baseball is the best sport and "Bull Durham" is one of the best films about that sport. What is not to love? The dialogue is great, the cast (Tim Robbins, Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon) are all terrific, and it's about two of the greatest things in the world: baseball and love.The latter being superior to the former, of course. "Bull Durham" is the story of a hotshot pitching prospect named Nuke (Robbins), his washed up catcher Crash, brought in to refine his talents before going on to the big leagues (Costner), and Annie, the local woman who has a curious relationship with both men (Sarandon). Good 'ol Nuke is a typical sports star: hot-headed, arrogant with respect to his abilities, resentful of criticism. But Crash and Annie are interesting, three-dimensional characters with plenty of baggage, plenty of regret over the roads not taken in their own lives and of the chances they weren't given. The script cleverly mixes humor with dramatic dialogue. You laugh one minute and cry the next. Sarandon says at the end of the film, the world is "made for those not cursed with self-awareness". It is one of the truest things I have ever heard in my entire life, and just one of many moments of insight and wit in this film. And there's baseball! What can be better than that? This is a great movie. Not just baseball but for life. Enjoy.
Rating: Summary: I love this film! Review: This is one of my favorite movies. It is sexy, romantic, funny, and true. Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon give excellent and very believable performances. They are likeable and very sexy, and have wonderful chemistry. It is a must see, for non-baseball fans too!
Rating: Summary: Complete waste of talent. Review: This movie was a complete waste of great talent, and an insult to baseball. The entire movie was about a woman of 40, or so, trying to boost her ego. Very disappointing. I'm just glad I saw Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon in other films before seeing this one, or I would never have seen this one.
Rating: Summary: An Excellent Interpretation of Americas Two Pastimes Review: Baseball and Sex. Two Pastimes that have been present in America since the 1800's. Well sex went back even further than that. Anyway, this adaptation of the life of minor league baseball players and a woman who is drawn to rookies is both funny and in alot of ways true. You don't have to be a big baseball fan to love this movie as the comic wit of Costner, Sarandon, and Robbins will keep you hooked. Also, the storyline is very interesting. Most definitely a video that is worth repeated viewings.
Rating: Summary: A Charming Romantic Comedy! Review: This is one of the greatest baseball movies ever. But it is also a Smart, Sassy and Funny film. One of the greatest and most entertaining romantic-comedies out there. Keving Costner is great, Susan Sarandon is gloriously sexy, but I thought Tim Robbins had some really funny lines and almost stole the movie (comedy-wise). Great film, see it. If you like Kevin Costner I recommend "Dances With Wolves', if you like Susan Sarandon I recommend 'Atlantic City', and if you like Tim Robbins I recommend 'The Player'. From a scale of 1-10 I give it an 8!
Rating: Summary: a must see Review: i really enjoyed this film.the ups&downs of Minor League Baseball.the hopes of getting the big call up.Kevin Costner gives a solid performance.Susan Sarandon is good as well.Romance&Humor round out this must see film.
Rating: Summary: fab, sexy, fab Review: great film, one of my all time favourites. Costner is on top form - smouldering, sexy AND without a potbelly, need you ask for more? On the baseball side, it even managed to get me to care, a rare feat indeed, whilst having a whole slew of funny, articulate characters. Sarandon's character walks the line between pretentious and sassy, Tim Robbins showing the promise of Shawshank...see this film, if only for the way it combines poetry with baseball and stays unpretentious.
Rating: Summary: bull durham Review: Forget all rest,THIS is THE best baseball movie of all time. If you love baseball, truly love it, then you should enjoy this movie.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful to Watch Again and Again....... Review: I saw "Bull Durham" for the first time only last month - and it left me regretting what I'd missed out on these last 12 years. This is an absolutely marvelous movie! It's exceedingly amusing, eloquent, nostalgic -- and visually stunning! Ron Shelton hit the heart & soul of the sport with this one. He focused completely on the simple pleasures of the game of baseball - pleasures I grew up with. The charactors were endearing - especially Kevin Costner's "Crash" - I must say that he is wonderful to watch in this. Without a doubt, this is one of the best movies I've ever seen!
