Milwaukee Brewers player Stan Ross (Bernie Mac) angers his teammates by retiring during a 1995 playoff game after making the 3,000th base hit required to enter the Baseball Hall of Fame. Nine years later, a clerical error is discovered, invalidating three of the hits and keeping Ross from the ultimate baseball honor. The 47-year-old player convinces the Brewers to let him rejoin the team to make his last three hits, and sheds his selfish nature as he rediscovers his love of the game.

Critics Consensus

Bernie Mac demonstrates he can play the game even if the movie's a few innings short of a complete game.

Bruce Diones

The New Yorker

This fuzzy baseball story about a conceited player (Bernie Mac) who comes out of retirement to fix his record (he's three hits short of the magic three thousand) is a major letdown.

Associated Press

Bernie Mac plays a baseball-star version of his corrosive TV-show persona in Mr. 3000, a comedy that's essentially an extended ad for ESPN. Ironically, though, the insertion of real-life media provides the film's few laughs.

This feature-length commercial for Major League Baseball covers all the cross-marketing bases.

Bowling Green Daily News

This weeks discount dandy is Mr. 3000, an amiable comedy that features a nice turn by Bernie Mac that allows it to overcome its obvious formulaic shortcomings.

An arrogant former sportsman learns a lesson in humility in this predictable comedy.

Mac's rascally charm and deceptive gravity give promise of more substance than the movie finally delivers.

A great concept on paper, and quite a few moments that deliver. Mac has the right attitude for the character but his physics in the game are inaccurate and hard to believe for baseball fans.

There isn't a lot to like here, besides the ever enjoyable Bernie Mac.

Bernie Mac is in his best shape as an aging baseball player who needs one more homer to retire on his laurels; then a counting error sets him back. Angela Bassett does a fiery turn as an old flame and sports journalist, Paul Sorvino has one hilarious scene as the manager, and Chris Noth is a throwaway shark. But the best parts of this movie are the warm and funny scenes between Mac and Michael Rispoli. This predictable flick isn't Bull Durham, but it's infinitely watchable. Recommended.

This sports comedy was alright. Bernie Mac and the rest of the cast did a decent job in this movie. The plot to the movie wasn't too bad, but it could've been better. There were some funny and dramatic moments during the movie. If you like Bernie Mac, you would probably like this movie. If not, you may not.

I know Bernie Mac to be lovable, here he was far from that. I understand his plight and why he was such a jerk in Mr.3000, but just because there is justification does not mean it is right. Mac as Stan Ross is completely graceless, and the jokes and little montage scenes are completely tasteless. A predictable film, to the point that when the viagra joke was said, I had to turn it off. I may not be Zoltar, but I know the formula to a comedy headed to hell when I see one.

With all the baseball movies out there this one is forgotten simply for the reason it's just an average film. Bernie Mac (RIP) has some funny moments, but it's basically a Mr. Baseball in the since I never care if I see it again. To argue with us on whether that squibber up the 3B line should have actually been scored an error, head on over to broforcesquad.com
