Reviews from our users [Review this film]

"This is what baseball movies are all about." --David

"I have seen Bull Durham a half dozen times, and always with bearing in mind that it is a well-regarded film. Yet, I can't warm up to it. As a baseball movie, BD would be a fine love story if the love triangle's hypotenuse, played by Susan Sarandon, wasn't so downright unsavory. Tim Robbins is not convincing as a babe-in-the-woods turned eventual sophisticated pro, and try as I may, I can't muster sympathy for the film's protagonist, as portrayed by Kevin Costner. His character's episode of drunken violence is about all I can take-- it doesn't matter the undercurrents that cause his miscreant behavior. The baseball scenes are sub-par in my estimation, and the humor strained to the point of nonexistence. There are far better baseball films out there. See those before settling for Bull Durham." --Annie V
