Kevin Costner at his funniest and most charismatic in Bull Durham, a film that's as wise about relationships as it is about minor league baseball.

Screwball Annie and hardball Crash aren't playing the same game, which is Shelton's conceit as well as a possible screen-writing miscalculation. March 20, 2013 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Ron Shelton, who wrote and directed the film, displays a knowledge of and affection for the national pastime. You can see it in the knowing detail he brings to even the minor characters. March 20, 2013 | Full Review…

[Shelton is] uncanny at putting us inside his players' heads when they're on the mound or up at bat, running their private litanies of encouragement and subversion to psych themselves up. March 11, 2013 | Full Review…

Rather than a vapid national epic, it is a warm, droll, deftly cracked romantic comedy. March 11, 2013 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The acting in Bull Durham cannot be faulted and should be remembered at Oscar time. Sarandon has one of the juiciest female roles in years and she makes you think no one could play it better. March 11, 2013 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

Shelton locates the tension and the humor between pitches, between ball games, between the sheets. It helps too that he has written the wittiest, busiest screenplay since Moonstruck, and that his three stars do their very best screen work. March 16, 2011 | Full Review…

You 'd never find similar scenes to "Bull Durham" in, say, Europe, and not because they don't have our national pastime; they're just too sensible. You simply have to love America to be able to revel in our delightful, deep state of cultural silliness. June 10, 2020 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…
