As America's stock of athletic young men is depleted during World War II, a professional all-female baseball league springs up in the Midwest, funded by publicity-hungry candy maker Walter Harvey (Garry Marshall). Competitive sisters Dottie Hinson (Geena Davis) and Kit Keller (Lori Petty) spar with each other, scout Ernie Capadino (Jon Lovitz) and grumpy has-been coach Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks) on their way to fame. Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell co-star as two of the sisters' teammates.

Sentimental and light, but still thoroughly charming, A League of Their Own is buoyed by solid performances from a wonderful cast.

It’s a great piece of Hollywood confectionery, and you might well find yourself choking up a little at the end.

Rated: 5/5

Gone With The Twins

Although the denouement must once again wrestle with the introduction from the start, revisiting the decades-later troupe that absolutely doesn’t need to be involved, the film remains inspirational, motivational, nostalgic, sweet, and highly entertaining.

Rated: 8/10

Elements of Madness

Like now as then, the issue of gender parity remains a hot button issue, but the way Marshall handles it throughout "League" never stoops to melancholy nor lingers too long to detract from the central premise: sports are for everyone, especially women.

Part of what makes A League of Their Own work is the wonderful cast led by Oscar-winner Hanks and the talented Davis.

A League of Their Own is a pretty good movie. I don't think that it lived up to the hype, but I enjoyed the majority of the film. When I look at characters and story, I like to see purposeful change occur over the runtime of a film. My biggest gripe with this movie is that I don't think anyone really changed and nothing really happened. Even something as simple as the girls being frustrated with the uniforms gets brushed aside. Take that gripe away and there is lot to like about this movie: the cast, the fun baseball scenes, etc. Still, I don't think Tom Hanks' character is particularly important and the fast forward to the women when their older seemed unnecessary. Best Character: Doris Best Quote: "There's no crying in baseball!" - Jimmy Best Scene: The final game Note: I watched this movie on a flight and it kept me awake the whole time, so that's a plus. Note 2: Evelyn's son, Stilwell, might be the most annoying kid in movie history.

A classic, still, for sure. Everybody involved was giving their all and it holds a crazy over the top primal love of baseball.

The cast, the comedy, the heart and the soul, this movie has it all, without the requirement of being a sports lover. I loved this movie as a kid, I charish it as an adult. The loveable, charesmatic Geena and reliable Hanks anchor this movie into a endlessly re-watchable classic.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
