DVD Review: a league of their own
Summary: 4 Stars
i love this movie. baseball movies are my favorite. However my boyfriend hates Rosie and complained after about her mouthDVD Review: A League of Their Own
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this item for my granddaughter. She is very active in softball. I wanted her to see that women can do the same thing and excel in the sport. She loves the video. My only regret is that I didn't try to get it in DVD form. When our video player goes out we won't be able to view it.DVD Review: Geena Davis Makes It A Winning Picture
Summary: 4 Stars
As a sports fan, it's fun to see a film of a little different nature, the case here being women's professional baseball - something that actually took place for a short time during World War II.
The best thing going for the film, in my opinion, was a very likable lead character - someone you could really root for - in Geena Davis' character "Dottie Hinson." She made the movie, as far as I was concerned as the rest of the cast - although good - was not particularly likable.
For instance, Tom Hanks plays a profane, drunken manager, and not a lot of laughs except for famous, "There is no crying in baseball" line which has become famous. Then there is the family-friendly Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell. Yikes! Actually, Madonna plays a nice, subdued character and she's okay to watch but, frankly, it's hard for me to warm up to O'Donnell in any role. Just hearing that voice is enough to call 'time out' and stop the game. Many of the men in here are generally pictured as sexist idiots, which is the way left-wing Hollywood likes to portray men.
I wouldn't call it a family film, not with the profanity in here. However, it is an entertaining adult movie that has a lot of charm to it and is recommended, especially if you're a baseball fan.
DVD Review: Awesome movie!

Description of A League of Their Own
Tom Hanks stars as Jimmy Dugan a washed-up ball player whose big league days are over. Hired to coach in the All-American Girls Baseball League of 1943- while the male pros are at war- Dugan finds himself drawn back into the game by the heart and heroics of his "all-girl" team. Based on the true story of the pioneering women who blazed the trail for generations to athletes.System Requirements:Starring: Tom Hanks Geena Davis Lori Petty Madonna Rosie ODonnell and Jon Lovitz Director: Penny Marshall Copyright: 1992 Columbia/Tristar Produced by Penny Marshall Elliot Abbott written by Lowell Ganz Babaloo Mandel K; DVD released on 09/09/1997; running time of 127 minutes; Closed Captioned. Deluxe Widescreen Presentation Languages: English Spanish and French Subtitles: Spanish and Korean Dolby Digital One Channel Presented in the original theatrical aspect ratio approx. 2.35:1Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY Rating:?PG UPC:?043396512290 Manufacturer No:?51229Penny Marshall's popular 1992 comedy sheds light on a little-known chapter of American sports history with its story of a struggling team in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. The league was formed when the recruiting of soldiers during World War II resulted in a shortage of men's baseball teams. The AAGPBL continued after the war (until 1954), and Marshall's movie depicts the league in full swing, beginning when a savvy baseball scout (Jon Lovitz) finds a pair of promising new players in small-town Oregonian sisters (Geena Davis, Lori Petty). The sisters are signed to play for the Rockford Peaches near Chicago, whose new manager (Tom Hanks) is a former home-run king who wrecked his career with alcoholism. They're all a bunch of underdogs, and Marshall (with a witty script by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel) does a fine job of establishing a colorful team of supporting players including Madonna and (in her movie debut) Rosie O'Donnell. It's a conventional Hollywood sports story (Marshall's never been one to take dramatic risks), but the stellar cast is delightful, and the movie's filled with memorable moments, witty dialogue, and agreeable sentiment. And just remember: there's no crying in baseball! --Jeff Shannon
