Reviews for A League of Their Own

It serves up good-natured entertainment, if you're in the mood, but be prepared to swallow a generous helping of sickly-sweet sentimentality along with the laughs. Full Review |

 |
Hits about .250 with a few RBI, but more than its share of strikeouts. Full Review |
||
|
|
Energetic, full of goodwill and good feelings, it never quite attains the graceful nonchalance and self-confidence with which finely tuned athletes -- and comedies -- move and enchant us. Full Review |

|
2.5/4 |
As uneven as an amateur baseball game. Full Review |
||
|
|
Deftly structured by director Penny Marshall and writers Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel to resemble a 40s musical (albeit, somewhat anachronistically, one in 'Scope); the rest is mainly streamlined and spirited teamwork. Full Review |

|
B+ |
The idea of Penny Marshall's sentimental comedy--an all-American Girls Professional Baseball League in WWII--is so good that you wonder why no one has thought about it before; in the lead, Geena Davis is charming, and so is Tom Hanks. Full Review |

4/5 |
the film combines humor, historical trivia, and the thrill of baseball to create a fully entertaining, fictional tale
|
||
|
|
Scriptwriters Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel neglect the ensemble, emphasising a sense of historical occasion over character development. Full Review |
