As America's stock of athletic young men is depleted during World War II, a professional all-female baseball league springs up in the Midwest, funded by publicity-hungry candy maker Walter Harvey. Competitive sisters Dottie Hinson and Kit Keller spar with each other, scout Ernie Capadino and grumpy has-been coach Jimmy Dugan on their way to fame.

League wants you to laugh more than anything else, and Hanks makes sure that you will.

Though amusing enough to avoid absolutely drowning in schmaltz, it's sad to see a film with potential lose its way in the late innings.

What does it say about today's Hollywood when the most interesting character in a movie about a women's baseball team turns out to be a man?

Few of the other performers make an impression. A director who can lose Madonna in a crowd can't be said to appreciate charisma.

This movie aims for the tear ducts and the funny bone as ruthlessly as the big action-fantasy hits go after the viscera.
