Laid Back Comedy About a Laid Back Sport, 28 July 2008
6/10
Author: brocksilvey from United States

An amiable baseball comedy that's as laid back as the sport it's about.

Kevin Costner displays his knack for playing regular guys who'd be fun to sit back and have a beer with. Susan Sarandon smokes up the screen as his love interest.

But the film's funniest moments come from Sarandon's real-life husband, Tim Robbins, who gives a goofy and off-the-wall performance as a professional ball player.

Writer/director Ron Shelton received an Academy Award nomination for the film's screenplay.

Grade: B+
