The league was formed when the recruiting of soldiers during World War II resulted in a shortage of men's baseball teams. The AAGPBL continued after the war (until 1954), and Marshall's movie depicts the league in full swing, beginning when a savvy baseball scout (Jon Lovitz) finds a pair of promising new players in small-town Oregonian sisters (Geena Davis, Lori Petty). The sisters are signed to play for the Rockford Peaches near Chicago, whose new manager (Tom Hanks) is a former home-run king who wrecked his career with alcoholism. They're all a bunch of underdogs, and Marshall (with a witty script by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel) does a fine job of establishing a colorful team of supporting players including Madonna and (in her movie debut) Rosie O'Donnell. It's a conventional Hollywood sports story (Marshall's never been one to take dramatic risks), but the stellar cast is delightful, and the movie's filled with memorable moments, witty dialogue, and agreeable sentiment. And just remember: there's no crying in baseball! --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - love it, one of my favorite movies, I wanted it on dvdadults, kids, the whole family will get a kick out of this movie. I have seen it maybe 6 or 7 times. I could watch it twice in a row. You can't lose. Rating: - Thank you, Penny Marshall. This film will always remain high on my list of all-time favourite movies. Having watched this film hundreds (okay, maybe just dozens) of times growing up, I am so glad to finally own the Special Edition DVD copy, far better than my now worn out VHS copy. A League of their Own embodies every aspect of a great film - it is hilarious at times, sad and touching at others, has great characters, a great story, a fantastic soundtrack (hearing Madonna's "This Used to Be My Playground" at the ...

I was actually initially drawn to the movie for another reason. I've always been fascinated with anything and everything to do with the WWII era, and was looking forward to a different angle to the tried-and-tested 'blokey' army flick. Along came A League of Their Own that told the story of a certain group of women back at home while their men fought across the oceans. The ... Read More Rating: - A classicA great movie, a classic. I enjoyed this movie thoroughly. The cast is suberb and the performances they give and excellent. There is truly nothing bad about this movie. It is both inspiring and entertaining. One should truly appreciate the topic and the actors in this movie. Madonna probably gives the best performances she ever has given (and maybe could give), Geena Davis, Tom Hanks and everyone else does a good job at making the movie believable and engaging. I highly reccomend it. Rating: - Special Edition 2 discs DVDI luv this movie and I am a guy. Penny Marshall has got to be my favorite director. Am not collector but I just had to have this DVD 'coz the scenes in this movie is so memorable. Disc1 is a double-side for normal screen and widescreen, both 5.1 tracks. Disc2 is where the extra goodies is. Deleted Scenes, Behind Scenes Commentaries, Madonna's song video. The Marshalls, Gina Davis, Lori Petti, Rosie O'Donell, Tracy Reiner (Betty Spaguetti), Jon Lovitz, David Strathaim (Lowenstein) ... Read More |
