Movie review

From Time Out New York

There are classic baseball films—The Pride of the Yankees, Bull Durham—and then there's Mr. 3000, which deliberately Louisville-slugs its audience over the head. Small-screen comedian Bernie Mac plays a retired Milwaukee Brewers player who is forced back onto the diamond to reinstate his 3,000-hit title. Mac's antics have their humorous moments, but the only curveball this movie throws is not allowing team manager Paul Sorvino to open his mouth until the final scenes.
