A League of Their Own is an absolute classic — a perfect blend of humor, heart, and history. Set during World War II, it tells the inspiring story of the women who stepped up to play professional baseball while the men were off at war. The cast is phenomenal: Geena Davis is effortlessly strong and graceful, Tom Hanks is hilarious and surprisingly touching, and the entire ensemble brings real personality and depth to their roles. The film manages to be both entertaining and meaningful, celebrating the power of teamwork, perseverance, and breaking barriers. It’s packed with memorable moments, iconic lines (“There’s no crying in baseball!”), and a whole lot of heart. Whether you’re a sports fan or not, A League of Their Own is a feel-good film that stands the test of time.

Seriously, what's not to love? Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Madonna, Lori Petty, and best of all, directed by 'Laverne' herself- Penny Marshall. What an awesome movie. I will not get into the nitty-gritty of it, but if you love baseball, good acting, and great directing, this movie is for you. This is a feel-good movie and can be played anytime. This means that you shouldn't worry about offending your guests or anything like that. Trust me, I had a gathering and I had 'Something About Mary' playing in the background, and guess what, some people got offended. Not my friends, but the plus 1 or 2 that they brought. So, back to this, get it in 4K. The picture is vivid and so awesome to watch. The sound is super clear and crisp and you will love watching this in this format. On the fence? Because you have a copy in DVD and Blu-ray already? I do too. Just get it in 4K. Worth it.

Dottie Hanson, played by actress Geena Davis, is pretty but married, and also empathetic and smart. To help her younger sister realize her dreams for a life beyond the farm, the pair accepts the New York recruiter’s invitation (played by Jon Lovitz) to attend the tryouts for the fledgling All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (it should be noted that Dottie would have been considered a ‘woman’ in this time period because she is married, whereas single women were referred to as ‘girls’). The recruiter signed over a hundred of baseball and softball’s finest from Canada and the USA to the tryouts in Chicago. Once the team is selected and a team manager is hired – Jimmy Dugan, played by Tom Hanks, the film becomes less nostalgia and increasingly comedic. Dugan is a washed-up home run hitter and alcoholic who aimlessly spits tobacco and struck out in life with two failed marriages. He is also initially against women playing baseball, although the grit and heart of his players slowly erodes his unfounded bias. Dugan’s baseball past continues to attract fans for his autograph, which his employers recognize is profitable. Memorable teammates played by actresses Lori Petty, Madonna, and Rosie O’Donnell provide a comedy cast of hilarious on-the-field and off-the-field antics as the ‘girls’ blaze a trail to the World Series in this highly fictionalized film loosely based on a true story. The film concludes with Dottie choosing to return to her married life in Oregon after one memorable season and her sister staying in Racine, Wisconsin with her new team, while Dugan stays manager of his team. Although touted as a comedy, compared to Major League, a 1989 film starring Tom Beringer, Charlie Sheen, and Corbin Bernsen, this film was slow-moving and seldom hilarious. In short, I found it predictable and a bit of a grind to watch. Nonetheless, there were some touching scenes from the several back stories, especially the father/daughter relationship and sibling rivalry. The Library of Congress liked the film much more than me, calling it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant", according to a reference (no. 3) at Wikipedia.org . The film’s scriptwriters seemed cognizant of sociology’s hegemony theory, going so far as changing the actual Mr. Wrigley into a fictional character – Walter Harvey of Harvey Bars. This movie likely staved off any potential lawsuits for defamation of character.

Emotional and funny, very good movie.

Eine lustige aber auch traurige Geschichte über Sport im 2. Weltkrieg. Frauen spielen Baseball solange die Männer im Krieg sind. Tom Hanks, Geena Davis und Madonna sind einfach herrlich.

Es una pelicula para disfrutar un buen fin de semana es muy recomendable

Thus was a very good film. If you get it I think you will not be disappointed.

J’adore ce film coup cœur ❤️ de 1991 avec des actrices tous parfaites et c’est une histoire vraie américaine. Superbe 🤩
