Customer Reviews of A League of Their Own [Region 2]

An oldie but a goodie.
I remember watching this movie when I was younger a few years after it came out on VHS. I'll admit that then, I obviously didn't understand the WWII concept (as I was maybe 7 or 8 years old) but it still was a movie that I continually loved to watch. Even now, roughly 15 years after its release, I still thoroughly enjoy this film. <

>So what's this movie about? It's World War II and there's a need for American sports to raise morale. With the men away, who is going to play? The women, of course! This movie shows the beginnings of mainly two specific teams in the All American Girls Professional Baseball League. From the ups and downs stemming from the game, to the ups and downs stemming from the women's personal lives, this movie gives us a glimpse into the lives of women living during the WWII era. <

>So what's to like about this movie? First of all, there's an abundance of famous actors and actresses including Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Madonna, and Rosie O'Donnell. Looking back, I truly didn't appreciate how wonderful the casting was for this movie. Second, this movie forces a ton of emotions out of you. Some scenes are funny, some scenes show hope, and some scenes are sad. It isn't just about baseball. It's mainly about the lives of the women playing the game. Third, anyone, no matter what age, will enjoy this movie. From the older folks who can remember what it was like living during this period, to younger people like myself who simply enjoy the humor, this movie provides so much entertainment. <

>And what's not to like? Nothing really. As I said above, younger children will like this movie although they probably won't understand the war aspect. Apart from that, this movie contains no other negatives. <

>When it comes to movies that all will enjoy, A League of Their Own is at the top of my list.

There's no crying in baseball!
The men go over seas for war. The All-American Baseball League needs to make money, so they create and All-American Girls Baseball League. <

> Dottie Hanson (Geena Davis) and her "kid sister Kit," (Lori Petty) play in a local softball league and get recruited to play in the new major league. Jimmy Dugan, (Tom Hanks) a washed up a former baseball player, gets fed up with the girls he manages but then gets used to the change of gender. Dottie ia an awesome catcher and hitter who everyone loves, while Kit is an okay pitcher and hitter who everyone likes. Hanson is the best on the team and everyone knows it, Kits gets jelous and things don't work out too well between them. Madonna (Mae) and Rosie O'Donnell (Doris) are also starring on the team. All the cast members did an awesome job acting. <
