Bernie Mac gives surprising wisdom and heart - along with the laughs - to what could have been just another generic baseball comedy.
Bernie Mac gives a funny and kind of touching performance as a man who attains greatness once and then has to do it again.
Commits the cardinal sin of not being quite as funny as its star.
There are no big surprises, but Mac and director Charles Stone III (Drumline) hit all the right dramatic notes.
Never generates enough laughs to escape the infield. It doesn't help that this is a sports movie that lacks any suspense or dramatic tension about what transpires on the field, and Mac plays such a self-absorbed jerk through most of the film that rooting interest is minimal.
The script is much like a nine-inning sitcom that uses an obvious formula to tell a familiar story while garnering cheap laughs.
