Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Madonna, Lori Petty & Rosie O Donnell all star in this fantastic big league baseball movie.

In 1943, when all men are at war - Professional League Baseball bosses didn’t want to stop the league so they started up an all women’s professional baseball league.

Tom Hanks played Jimmy Dougan who was to coach one of the ladies team - He was an ex player who turned alcoholic, but given a second chance to prove himself.

Two sisters were selected to join the team - Dottie Henson ( Geena Davis) & Kit Keller (Lori Petty). The story is about these two sister’s rivalling it out at the major league. Also on the team was May - The Sexy Girl (Madonna) and her best friend Doris (Rosie O Donnell). And many more - These are the main cast.

Jimmy Dougan hired to coach the team makes his first appearance to the team, drunk and urinating in from of them, He played the character to perfection. He looked the part when he was drunk, unshaven, dirty clothes and a half bottle in his pocket.
He started off not giving a dam about the team until he realises how good they really are and smartens up his act.

Geena Davis is brilliant; she has this confidence, the look, and the dolly of the team. She is stunning looking, and just makes the movie; she is the best player in the team. She is perfect for this part. She is beautiful but in the movie she is not there for her looks she’s there for the game. I love Geena Davis; think she’s a great actress.

Lori Petty is great as well; she is the jealous little sister who thinks she’s ugly and useless compared to her big sister and plays the part brilliant, complaining all the time, she has the look, the emotions and you can really feel for her when watching it.

Madonna was good, she thinks she is gorgeous and can get any man she wants and plays it out like she’s a man eater. Very Good

Rosie o donnell is like the big goofy friend of the sexy May, She isn’t sexy at all, she’s doesn’t try to be, she’s very masculine. She was brilliant aswell, some very funny parts with her aswell.

The film as a whole was brilliant, I have loved this film since I was very young, and had to go out and buy it this week when I saw it in the shop. I was into baseball when I first saw this film. I learned a lot of things from this film as well.

Based on a true Story - And a great song from madonna This used to be my playyground.

I hope you like my review –

Tom Hanks, Geena Davis and Madonna star in this major-league comedy. Hanks stars as Jimmy Dugan, a washed-up drunk ball player whose big league days are over. I fell this is by far Tom Hanks best film to date,His transformation from a crude, uncaring drunk to the team's hard-nosed but soft-hearted leader is very well and believably done.
Hired to coach in the All-American Girls League of 1943 - while the male pros are at war - Dugan finds himself drawn back into the game by the heart and heroics of his "all-girl" team. Jon Lovitz adds a scene stealing cameo as the sarcastic scout who recruits Dottie Hanson (Davis) the "baseball dolly" with a Babe Ruth swing.
What makes it work are fine performances by Geena Davis as catcher Dottie Hinson, "the best player in the league," and Lori Petty as her younger sister, Kit Keller. Geena Davis absolutely looks the part with her cool confidence and stately figure while Lori Petty is scrappy and believable as the little sister whose puck and determination set the stage for a sister-rivalry climax at the end.
In many ways this film is a throwback to an earlier time when films set out to warm the hearts of the audience and uplift their spirits. Generally this is a all round feel good movie.
There is of course a somewhat self-conscious retrospective look at the sorry political and social state of women sixty years ago. Thats why this movie works so well the real-life human characters and their portaryal of life in the sixties.
Teammates Madonna, Lori Petty and Rosie O'Donnell round out the roster, taking the team to the World Series. Based on the true story of the pioneering women who became the original womens baseball team.
