description |
| Comedian
Bernie
Mac
gets
his
first
starring
vehicle
in
this
foulmouthed
baseball
comedy.
He
plays
Milwaukee
Brewer
Stan
Ross,
a
self-centered
heavy
hitter
who
retires
from
the
game
after
3,000
hits,
expecting
an
automatic
entry
into
the
Baseball
Hall
of
Fame.
The
complication
is
that
when
Hall
of
Fame
officials
finally--after
nine
long
years--re-do
his
tally
for
official
consideration,
they
realize
three
of
his
hits
where
counted
twice,
so
he's
only
"Mr.
2,997."
As
his
whole
life's
been
revolving
around
the
3,000
mark,
Stan
has
no
choice
but
to
sign
up
with
the
Brewers
yet
again,
even
though
he's
now
47
and
has
not
exactly
been
exercising
during
his
retirement.
What
could
have
been
just
another
feel-good
sports
film--with
Stan
learning
the
value
of
friendship
and
working
together
as
he
gets
a
second
chance
at
being
a
team-player--is
turned
into
a
laconic,
dryly
amusing
film
thanks
to
Mac's
vast
array
of
comic
tics,
tricks,
and
perfect
comedic
timing.
Angela
Bassett
is
the
smart
sports
reporter
who
was
once
Stan's
lover
and
now
won't
give
him
the
time
of
day.
And
Paul
Sorvino
sulks
excellently
as
the
coach
Ross
betrayed
back
in
the
day.
Real-life
baseballer
Ryan
J.
White
is
also
good
as
the
new,
obnoxious
young
hitter
on
the
team,
with
whom
Stan
has
to
contend. |
