Jace E 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.

Everybody involved was giving their all and it holds a crazy over the top primal love of baseball. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Troy M 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 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Jackson87 C “A League of Their Own” is a heartfelt, inspiring film that not only tells a captivating story of women’s baseball during World War II but also offers an accurate and respectful portrayal of a pivotal moment in American history. The film brilliantly captures the formation of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL), a direct response to the absence of male baseball players who had gone off to fight in the war. The film authentically reflects the societal changes brought about by WWII. With men off fighting, women stepped into roles previously considered off-limits, including professional sports, which had been dominated by men. A League of Their Own vividly portrays how these pioneering women broke barriers, challenging gender norms of the time and proving their capabilities both on and off the field. It explores the excitement and pressure that came with this newfound responsibility, as well as the skepticism and resistance they faced from those who couldn’t imagine women excelling in a traditionally male-dominated sport. The filmmakers did a fantastic job capturing the spirit of the 1940s, from the costumes and music to the social attitudes and language. Moreover, the historical accuracy is underscored by the depiction of war-time America, where patriotism, sacrifice, and uncertainty loomed large. The movie gives a glimpse into the resilience and determination of these women, mirroring the fortitude of those on the home front who supported the war effort in countless ways. “A League of Their Own” is not only an entertaining sports film but also a valuable depiction of a unique chapter in history, celebrating both the personal and collective triumphs of women during WWII. It honors their contributions to the war effort and showcases their enduring legacy in American sports and culture. It's a great film that combines history with sport!
