Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Great baseball movie
This movie is great. One of the best baseball comedies of all time. Kevin Costner is the best.
I have probably seen Bull Durham at least 30 times since the movie was first released (VHS, then DVD, now Blu-Ray DVD), and even now, it's as funny and uplifting as ever. IMHO, you do NOT have to be a baseball fan to appreciate this movie, but it certainly helps--especially if you're familiar with Minor-League professional baseball. As a youngster, I remember seeing Max Patkin, the Clown Prince of Baseball, perform in person at more than one minor-league game in our city (Reading, PA, now known as Baseballtown, USA). In those days, the clubs did whatever they could to get folks into the stands, and IMHO, Bull Durham is a pretty accurate representation of those times. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Kevin Costner and Tim Robbins get a lot of screen time, either :-) . Sassy, smart, funny, enduring--take a seat and join The Church of Baseball!
This is most definitely one of my favorite films ever made. The script, the acting, the direction… everything about this film is phenomenal. Would highly recommend to cinema and baseball fans alike!
