It serves up good-natured entertainment, if you're in the mood, but be prepared to swallow a generous helping of sickly-sweet sentimentality along with the laughs.

Reviews for A League of Their Own
Top Criticentertaining but a bit sweet
11/08/04
Scriptwriters Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel neglect the ensemble, emphasising a sense of historical occasion over character development.

Top CriticAn excellent comeback vehicle for Hanks, and a good film, overall.
05/28/03
One of the best baseball movies of all times; just remember, there's no crying in baseball!
11/29/03
This was probably supposed to be a feminist manifesto, but the men steal the picture.
12/08/02
The result is an enjoyable, if lightweight comic fiction.

The idea of Penny Marshall's sentimental comedy--an all-American Girls Professional Baseball League in WWII--is so good that you wonder why no one has thought about it before; in the lead, Geena Davis is charming, and so is Tom Hanks.

A well-performed, snappily written and well-intentioned piece of entertainment that, surprisingly, has some historical information and a gently pitched line of social commentary running through the comedy.

Tremendously enjoyable
12/21/02
An engagingly old fashioned and family-friendly comedy.

Deftly structured by director Penny Marshall and writers Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel to resemble a 40s musical (albeit, somewhat anachronistically, one in 'Scope); the rest is mainly streamlined and spirited teamwork.
03/21/07
The story of the short-lived women's baseball league gives Marshall the opportunity to examine the roots of modern feminism and have a darn fine time doing it.
01/01/00
Watchable, star-studded fluff
