"There's no crying in baseball!"

| Original Score: 4/5

One of the best baseball movies of all times; just remember, there's no crying in baseball!

| Original Score: 4/5

An excellent comeback vehicle for Hanks, and a good film, overall.

| Original Score: 3/5

One of the year's most cheerful, most relaxed, most easily enjoyable comedies. It's a serious film that's lighter than air, a very funny movie that manages to score a few points for feminism in passing.

It is a fitting tribute to those who played and those who kept the league going for over 10 years.

Tremendously enjoyable

| Original Score: 4/5

This was probably supposed to be a feminist manifesto, but the men steal the picture.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

A well-performed, snappily written and well-intentioned piece of entertainment that, surprisingly, has some historical information and a gently pitched line of social commentary running through the comedy.

Watchable, star-studded fluff

At her best, Marshall captures the camaraderie of these women in ways that rip the film out of its cliched roots.

Considerable money and effort was lavished on this production, but problems in the script diminish the effort.

Marshall gums it all up in hokey sentiment.

The result is an enjoyable, if lightweight comic fiction.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

The story of the short-lived women's baseball league gives Marshall the opportunity to examine the roots of modern feminism and have a darn fine time doing it.

Graced by Davis and enlivened by Lovitz and the ensemble cast, it sends us home feeling a little higher, with visions of peanuts and Cracker Jack floating in our heads.
