Notebook Reviews: A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN

Penny Marshall – 1992.

There’s no crying in baseball! A League Of Their Own is an enjoyable sporting comedy.

Tom Hanks delvers a great turn as the drunken coach of an all-female baseball team (made up of Geena Davis, Madonna, Lori Petty, Rosie O’Donnell).

Sure, it gets a little sentimental at times and the present day bookends feel a bit contrived, but this Penny Marshall directed pic has some great laughs and fine moments.

When all is said and done, A League Of Their Own is enjoyably pleasant entertainment.
