fine whine

Bull Durham is a chick flick.

It's not really even that entertaining of a chick flick. Susan Sarandon likely has done better chick flicks. Tim Robbins has certainly done better chick flicks (well, you must admit I.Q., predictable though it may be, amuses). And as for Kevin Costner, well, I'm just not going there.

I'm probably in the minority in saying so, but Bull Durham is overrated. Maybe I just don't love baseball, but I sure didn't love this film.

It was too heady, too steamy, too long, and, well, too long. Kevin was too much a veteran, Tim too much a rookie, and Susan too much a philosopher.

Sure, there were amusing bits here and there, but far too few. I'd rather watch Baseketball again.
