BULL DURHAM(1988)
An aging catcher(Costner) on his way out of the game
gets tasked with teaching the ropes to a new pitcher
(Tim Robbins)! Not a comedy nor is it a straight up
drama, but a light and pleasant story! B
From Amazon.com:
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.
