Review |
Bull Durham | 1988 | 99 | 1 | - A beautiful comedy that captures the spirit of grown men still chasing dreams almost perfectly. |
Everybody Wants Some | 2016 | 89 | 2 | - Though I am not a particular fan of Linklater's stuff in general, I must admit Everybody Wants Some is probably my favorite film of his to date. |
CaddyShack | 1980 | 87 | 3 | - An absolute '80's classic! |
Happy Gilmore | 1996 | 87 | 3 | - One of Adam Sandler's best. |
Jerry Maguire | 1996 | 87 | 3 | - Love, drama, and comedy. Sports, Office Work, Home life. It is literally impossible that this film doesn't have SOMETHING for you. |
The Replacements | 2000 | 87 | 3 | - It's just an enjoyable time at the movies. What's not to like? |
Fever Pitch | 2005 | 85 | 7 | - 'Fever Pitch' pretends to know what both genders want and gives them each their piece. The girl, looking for a rom-com, gets a story of a young and unstable relationship. Her male counterpart gets to enjoy a film about the highs and lows of being hopelessly devoted to sports team. |
Major League | 1989 | 84 | 8 | - It falls victim to some of the eye-rolling hysterionics that became so prevalent during the '80's, but it's a solid baseball comedy for sure. |
Rookie of the Year | 1993 | 84 | 8 | - Shamelessly goofy, but you can't help but to love Ian Thomas Nicholas as he turns the Cubs -- and the teams they play -- upside down on their head. |
Sandlot | 1993 | 84 | 8 | - Set in the '50's, it's hard to call 'The Sandlot' a tale of nostalgia. Then again, as the movie so eloquently points out, some things just never change. |
Longest Yard, The (2005) | 2005 | 83 | 11 | - One of my go-to Adam Sandler comedies. |
Dodgeball | 2004 | 80 | 12 | - Its satire definitely is on the stupid side, but it's funny nonetheless. |
The Waterboy | 1998 | 78 | 13 | - Classic Sandler. |
Space Jam | 1996 | 76 | 14 | - It's a whacky kids movie, but there's enough genuine adult laughs for it to be enjoyable for all who see it. |
Mr. 3000 | 2004 | 74 | 15 | - Stan Ross could easily be based on any one of a number of big name players fans love to hate. But Mr. 3000 is based on EVERY formulaic sports movie that has come before it. |
The Bad News Bears (1976) | 1976 | 73 | 16 | - Just a tad too bland to be really good. |
Bad News Bears (2005) | 2005 | 71 | 17 | - It does JUST enough to make this reboot its own, but there is nothing, NOTHING I loathe more than facsimiles and, for the most part, this is what we have on our hands here. |
Mr. Baseball | 1992 | 70 | 18 | - One does not simply get over Tom Selleck cast as a fun-loving R-rated baseball player. It's only when he comes around to being semi-respectful of the cultures around him that you start to believe the character. |
The Bronze | 2015 | 70 | 18 | - It is, at once, a sports comedy and a satire about live in middle America. But it's all just only 'chuckle funny'. No real, genuine laughs here. |
Angels in the Outfield (1951) | 1951 | 69 | 20 | - This is that rare original that is actually outdone by the remake. Everything here in the 1951 original is fine, but Disney -- dare I say it -- did it better in 1994. |
Blades of Glory | 2007 | 68 | 21 | - If you completely shut off your brain and refuse to take offense to unfunny homophobic stereotypes, you might just think this is the funniest movie ever. |
Mystery, Alaska | 1999 | 63 | 22 | - As it turns out, the only thing you can do in Alaska is screw and play hockey. Somehow, this movie puts a damper on every north woods' man's dream. |
Little Big League | 1994 | 59 | 23 | - Ultimately, it's just too whacky to be taken seriously. Even with it's out-there premise, you just can't help but to get the feeling it could've been done much, much better. |
Damn Yankees | 1958 | 58 | 24 | - In reality, this movie could've been about an hour long. |
Here Comes the Boom | 2012 | 43 | 25 | - It's brief spurts of charm, laughs, and halfway-decent action are, to borrow a metaphor from the movie, just drops in a bucket. Not worth your time. |
Love Guru, The | 2008 | 35 | 26 | - Every punchline is lobbed to you underhand, making it so easy it's virtually impossible to give more than a charitable chuckle. |
