Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
It's not a bad movie. But its sentiments are faster than its reflexes. By the time it tries to uncoil a home-run swing, the ball has already vanished.

rotten:
Goodman should have been perfect for the title role: like Ruth, he's a regular Joe of hugely irregular proportions in appetite and accomplishment. Too bad Hiller and Fusco cut him down to size.

rotten:
It doesn`t matter that these things really happened, because the thin staging and sentimental exaggeration make them seem extremely phony in any case.
– Dave Kehr,

fresh:
An honestly unheroic view of a hero, with a grand-slam performance by John Goodman.

rotten:
What could have been the Raging Bull of baseball movies becomes the nibble of a mouse on the legend of a giant.
