Two sisters join the first female professional baseball league and struggle to help it succeed amidst their own growing rivalry.
Likable and mildly entertaining comedy drama with a slight feminist message is best when more focused on humor and the sport (and sport politics), but doesn't try to avoid sentimentality either; the stars help a lot, though.
Halliwell*: "A comedy that trundles along in a predictable fashion, settling for sentimentality rather than humour."
Maltin***: "Thoroughly entertaining comedy...Davis and Madonna stand out in a first-rate cast, with Hanks giving a terrific performance as the drunken ex-baseball star...Good-natured fiction that sheds light on a neglected chapter of real-life sports history."
