The part with the adult Stillwell kills me! You get the sense throughout the movie that his mother, Evelyn, was probably abused and this was their temporary respite from a miserable home life. Stillwell-angel was a rotten kid, but grew into a decent man who honored her legacy.
Agree. His father was probably absent emotionally and his mother had to do everything and he appreciated her very much. You see how bereft he is without her.
@@benjalucian1515 every time she quotes her husband, he was saying something really mean to her. She was so sweet, she probably had such an emotional reaction to Jimmy because her husband screamed at her all the time.
@@CarrotFlowers421 - Agree.
Yup. It's a truly magnificent and nuanced performance and I absolutely love every second of it.
The craziest part is that leg injury that you saw on that girl when she slid, that really happened to the actress when she slid in that scene. That wasn't makeup that was a real injury
Jon Lovitz (the scout) yelling at the cow wasn’t actually in the script. He broke character because the cows had been constantly mooing as they were filing those scenes (as they do lol) and just got pissed off and yelled at them. Penny Marshal and everyone else involved thought it was hilarious and not really ‘out of character’, so it made it in the movie.
Jon Lovitz is hilarious, that's his demeanor.
@CLester it has nothing to do with whether somebody can take a joke or not, relax yourself chief. His character was written TO HAVE an ultra sarcastic SENSE OF HUMOR. Either you get sarcasm and love and breathe it or you don't. Personally I was raised with biting sarcasm so 1/2 the time my brother say stuff to me I'm like what's that smell...is it SARCASM or are you for real, cuz I honestly can't tell at times. 😂
@@christinegelabert1651 Lol. You pretty much proved their point. Telling someone who made a simple statement they need to calm down and then proceeding to go on a tangent about your childhood with all caps?
@@CK-np5we Ha, I was just about to say the same thing.
They totally should watch The Wedding Singer even his more recent movies its just his character which was a lot of SNL comedians developed early and they stuck with what worked for them.
There are plenty of people who can still take the joke, as long as it's actually a joke and not a hidden insult
Fact: That giant bruise from the slide was 100% real so they put it in the movie
That looked so painful! I believe all the bruises and scraps were real, the girls worked hard for this movie.
I got one almost as big from an ATV crash in the Honduras lol. Very painful when it darkens to those colors hours later!!
Fun fact, that bruise in softball, is called a raspberry ! 😅 at least where I am from growing up, not sure if there are other names for it. They are not fun that's for sure ! Haha
That's why I never slid when I played softball. If I would have been wearing baseball pants instead of shorts, I would have tried. One of the players on my team slid and had a huge gash along the length of her thigh. I saw that and thought, "Nope, not sliding unless I'm wearing pant."
Damn... she went full send in that scene. I always thought "the make up artist did really effing good!" Lol nope. She just effed her thigh up!!!
The Jon Lovitz character doesn't have an unfunny line in the whole flick.
They hate him but i ABSOLUTELY love him😂😂😂
He is not someone I would like in real life but Lovitz nails the character.
@@christi776 “yeah…that’s the ticket.”
I know and they were bellowing about receding hairlines and they missed one of his better ones. “You know, if I had your job? I’d kill myself. Sit here and I’ll see if I can dig up a pistol.”
@@sgt.blkdog3840 Yeah. Jon Lovitz and his character are a mainstay of this movie and these dudes seem to do nothing but bitch and moan about him. Sometimes.... JUST SHUT THE F**** UP AND WATCH. You don't have to overreact to everything. I could already tell by the way they reacted to Lovitz's classic portrayal of how scouts were in 1940s that this reaction would blow.
Fun fact: The woman near the end of the movie who calls Dottie the best player in the league actually was a pitcher for the Peaches.
I love how you two were more offended by the uniforms and charm school than the gals were.
Haha
Rightly so.
@@erikawilliams9558 Why were they right to be more offended than the people who were there and had no objections to it?
@@LA_HAThey did object but had no say in it because it was part of the promotion to draw fans to women's baseball.
Woo-hoo! One of my fave movies ever! Amazing casting, especially for the older versions of themselves.
Fun fact: Tracy Reiner (“Betty Spaghetti”) is the daughter of Rob Reiner and Penny Marshall (who directed the film).
Her dad is actually Penny's first husband, Michael Henry. But she had a very good relationship with her step dad Rob, and took his name as her stage name.
Love the ending. Did she let her sister win because her sister needed the win more than she did? Probably. But that's love. If Dottie wins, great but she destroys her sister and loses her forever. The baseball game is a microcosm of Kits whole life. If she loses, its life beating her down again, and how the person you love and admire can be a mirror to your own failings in comparison. You feel for both sisters.
That is a question that has been asked, but I honestly don’t think so. I think they got to a point in their relationship where Dottie accepted to let Kit take the path she needed to take. I think this was emphasized by her telling Ellen Sue to pitch her high, fast ones. It would make no sense to tell her that and then let her win. But I think she was genuinely proud she could have her moment because she knew it was an authentic moment so it was a proud look of “finally,” not “look what I was able to give her.” I also think Dottie was too honorable to let her whole team down just to let her sister win. My take on it.
@@winter_s_44 I actually think the trade to racine was good for kit and she got training that dottie didn't see and got it all on her own
I believe Dottie did change her mind. First she tells Ellen Sue to throw high fastballs to end this since Kit could not layoff em. But than with grit & determination finally got a piece of it and when Dottie saw her coming home I think in her mind she decided to let it go and let Kit have her moment. Kit got a walkoff to help her team be the first world champions and a curtain call in the end with her name chanted.
I believe there is no definitive answer to the ending whether Dottie let Kit win, even the cast has differing opinions. I personally believe she dropped the ball intentionally as a way of making peace with her sister.
@@michaeljacyna1973 I think so, too. Dottie was a talented player. Letting go of that ball... when did she Ever do that? Just like she said, the game meant a lot to her, but not at the expense of her relationships. She left to have kids with her husband. She went on this journey for Kitt in the first place. She wasn't willing to lose Kitt over winning a game she didn't love more than her sister. And she knew it was Everything to Kitt, who was staying to play. Dottie was leaving
When that lady at the charm and beauty school says, “A lady reveals nothing.” that laugh by Lori Petty is completely real and they left in the movie. I love unscripted moments like that.
Remember watching this back in 92. It was bittersweet to say the least. Also you guys should check out Death Becomes Her, released the same year.
I was a girl playing baseball when this movie came out. I watched it so many times I still know almost every line by heart. One of my all-time favorite movies.
This was the first like, non cartoon movie that my mom took me to see in the theaters. It's just a special one for me.
I grew up in Rockford and never knew about the Peaches until this movie came out. There is so much history in this country that we are never told in school. Glad you finally got to see it!
Yes I did too, if you know where seminary is that's the field where they did training it has fact there
Fun fact, the bruse on Alice wasn’t make up. It was an actual bruse the actress got while sliding and they kept it in for the movie to tribute how hard the ball players worked. And the importance of proper uniforms I guess 😊
in the office finale, ed helms' character, andy bernard, said it best when he said, "i wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them." one of my favorite lines
Oh I clicked on this reaction so quickly! This is one of my most fav movies of all time! Happy you guys reacted to this one 😊
Excellent movie choice. The telegram scene in the locker room is so emotional, it gets me everytime.
You've discovered the Tom Hanks acting trope. Tom Cruise runs. Brad Pitt eats. Tom Hanks pees or references peeing. A League of Their Own, The Terminal, Forrest Gump, Castaway, Apollo 13, The Green Mile, Captain Phillips, Saving Private Ryan, and on and on.
And you never want to be in a vehicle with him.
Did you watch the closing credits? Pictures of the real league.
I thoroughly enjoyed your reactions and comments for "A League of Their Own" so much. This was a treat to watch this on your channel... I am going to be watching this video from your channel often... I was laughing so much . You both bring a lot to the table in your channel and it is very appreciated . Your reactions and comments are so genuine and you both make it worth while to keep watching. Thank you for this one and looking forward to much more .
This is one of those movies that if I find it flipping around I watch it to the end, love it!!
I saw this in the theater as a college student. Makes me feel a bit old, but I love this movie, and am looking forward to your reaction. ****Still brings all the feels, I cried at all the same parts.
Right behind you. I was a senior in highschool
One of my favorite movies ever! I have no idea how many times I've watched this movie, but I will forever regret not being in a movie theater to hear the laughter when Stillwell gets hit in the head with the glove before game 7!!!!🤣
this is one of those movies that I can watch at anytime and it don't disappoint. the story , characters and acting keeps me interested and I never tire of watching.
Watch "A time to Kill" with Samuel L Jackson and Matthew McConaughey.
Yes this is a great great movie
Yes, a huge ball of emotions, plus justice was served, an amazing movie lead by the incredible Samuel (I'm great in any mfkn role) Jackson. I still need to read the book!
This is a classic. So glad you guys checked it out. I tear up at the end every time. I’m such a sap. Keep up the reviews they are enjoyable. 🤗😊
This is one of my favourite movies of all time. My favourite lines are "Baseball is what gets inside you. It's what lights you up, you can't deny that" and "it's supposed to be hard, if it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great" because it's true. I played softball for 10 years and i love every second of it, there was a period of time where i was playing for 3 different divisions at the same time so i was playing 3 games back to back every game day and i was also playing during school in the school league. I wish i never gave it up but I did initially to concentrate on school but i didn't return because of the long term damage i'd done to my rotator cuff which i didn't realise at the time of quitting. This movie is so special and they really captured what this sport feels like for people.
Funny, Bill Pullman plays military "Bob" in this film and his son, Lewis plays military "Bob" in the movie Maverick.
One of my favorite movies. Great reaction.
I remember when this movie came out and me and my grandfather talked about the women's baseball league. He said they were phenomenal to watch. It took forever for them to be put into the baseball Hall of fame. This movie is great paying homage to their contribution to the American pastime. Hope you guys watched the ending with the original baseball players playing including the original Dottie
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this movie! I'm so glad you guys watched it and liked it!😍 Also i love when Marla and Nelson get married. I always feel like the ugly one and when is able to find someone to love her for her it gives me hope😍
The first time I saw this move I was not yet 18, learned English well enough to understand every word in a movie just a few movies before. It made a huge impression on me and still belongs to my top-10. Thanks for the intense rewatch 👌
The quote about growing up the daughter like a boy hit me hard since that's the way me, as a single father brought up my daughters.
YESSSSSS! I AM SO HAPPY! Sorry for yelling. 😄
i watched this so many times growing up. my dad was a big sports fan. and also tv/ movie watcher. a lot of times it didnt matter what was playing, it just had to be on. the tv playing something i’d seen a half a dozen times in my life was a common occurrence. this movie gives me such nostalgia for those days and makes me miss my dad who i miss dearly and think of often
One of the greatest sports movies of all time. Tom Hanks and Geena Davis are both phenomenal. Madonna is a force.
the older women in the last scenes, (besides the cast) were members of the teams...
The end of this movie should’ve won an Oscar. Period.
Batter up
Hear that call
The time has come
For one and allll….
To plaaaaayyyyy Balll….
We're the members of the All American League.
We come from cities near and far.
We've got Canadians, Irish ones and Swedes.
We're all for one, we're one for all, we're all American.
Each girl stands, her head so proudly high.
Her motto "Do or Die".
She's not the one to use or need an alibi.
Our chaperones are not too soft, they're not too tough.
Our managers are on the ball.
We've got a president who really knows his stuff.
We're all for one, we're one for all, we're all American.
The guy dancing wirh Madonna in the Roadhouse was Eddie Mekka. He played Carmine (aka the Big Ragoo) on Laverne and Shirley. He was an excellent Singer and Dancer. One of Baseball Stadium Announcers calling the game was David Lander who played Squiggy on Laverne and Shirley. The Baseball Scout was played by Jon Lovitz (from Saturday Night Live). Many of his insults and funny comments weren't in the script and were adlibs by Lovitz himself. Jimmy Duggan (Tom Hank's character) was based on the Real Manager of the Rockford Peaches former Star Player Jimmy Foxx. Kit (Lori Petty) has a Cult following as the title character in the movie Tank Girl.
@11:33...One of the sweetest moments in cinematic history.
I remember my sister used to have this on replay! Such a great film
So when this movie came out I was 10, when I saw in on video it was about 11-12. And while, as a kid I loved the obvious jokes in the movie. I also loved the time period with the Music and Fashion. It was only as an adult did I 'Fully Get and Understand' the Adult jokes and the nuances of the Time Period. SUCH a Good Movie!!!
SO HAPPY you two did a reaction to this movie its so good. Penny Marshall directed this and Garry Marshal the older gentleman he has been and directed alot of movies.
4. If Kit hadn't pushed her to actually take advantage of that golden opportunity dangling in front of her, Dottie would never have had this experience of a lifetime! How grandly her ego was stroked as "The Queen of Diamonds", despite her false modesty. It gave her the chance to have SOMETHING in her life that was just hers! Something that had her rise to the occasion of being something other than someone's wife/daughter/mother! Yes, of course, Kit had just as much to gain from this. Without it, she'd just be stuck in that one-horse town as a tomboyish nobody; a pale imitation of her sister that no man would want and no league/organization (amateur or otherwise) would ever truly take seriously as a ballplayer!
The fact still remains that this experience changed Dottie for the better; she could now, at the very least, be a woman of substance to her forthcoming family. She got a chance to meet other women just like her as an athlete, but from all different walks of life to gain perspective on how she should raise her own daughter(s). She got to be a part of something not only special with her sister, but historical for women of both past and present; a fact that didn't truly sink in for her until she finally reunited with her former teammates at the Hall of Fame Induction ceremony, seeing all the pix, plaques and paraphernalia laid out for the exhibits. Make no mistake, for the PROFESSIONAL athlete she was and the woman she became at the end of this film, she has her sister to thank entirely for it!
12:37
When the teacher ask a dumb question and expect you to have the correct proper answer.
Great reaction to a great film. Even guys (I'm talking about real men) love this movie. 👍🏿😎
Dottie and Bob have a heartfelt moment...(next scene)
Jimmy: WHY AM I THE ONLY PERSON ON THIS BUS?!...OH LET'S NOT GO TO THE WORLD SERIES WITHOUT STILLWELL'S TOYS!
SHE’S CRYING, SIR!
Dottie caught the ball bared handed because it was so slow compared to a pitcher’s throw. Kit dove because she’s a pitcher and Martha was ready to catch because she can play any position. ❤
You boys crack me up. This was the 1940s. This was the way they danced then. Love your reaction. Twenty-seven! I have socks older than you.
Great review. You hit it on the head. I didn't like the sibling rivalry. Dottie let Kitt win to build her confidence. That wasn't fair to Dottie, her teammates, her coach or their fans. And it wasn't fair to Kitt either, not knowing she didn't really win, it was given to her. That doesn't make Kitt try harder. Also, I'm glad you noticed that the women knew they would be ripping their bodies if they did a slide into base. And they knew what they were in for when they did it, but they did it anyway. That takes guts. Also, you also got what the movie really meant for me - those special moments in life - lightning captured in a bottle. Those pictures taken of the team and you know, that at the time the picture was taken, it was such a minor moment for them. They were probably hot and sweaty and thinking about the game or dinner, but later in life, looking back on those pictures, they'll remember how magical that time of their lives was and they didn't even realize it.
23:20 There's actually a deleted scene before that scene where him and the coach are talking, sneaks a kiss on her (remember she's married. Probably what lead to her wanting to leave there.
OK guys. So little sister Kit is played by Lori Petty, and I highly recommend checking her out in 'Tank Girl', and 'Point Break' )AKA Fast and the Furious V.1)
Twin Brothers, mind u, it was the 1940s when the women who was the wife of the military had been played baseball. I cannot imagine how desperate not seeing the letters consistently. When Betty the Spaghetti cried, I cried too.
This is one of my all-time favorite movies and one that me and my sister quote ALL the time. "Dont, stawt wit' me Kit. Don't start!" 😂
The Sandlot is a flashback too!
Watching you two be pissed at Bob together because he didn't say "I love you" back was a real treat.
Also, DOG!
MADONNA!!! WTF??? 😂😂
Loooove the fact that yall twins respect the ladies!❤😍
I love swing dancing I took a class in high school and I truly loved it! I think this was the absolute best Era for dancing! So much fun!
Thank you! This is one of my all time favourite movies.....shout out from Jamaica.
It’s supposed to be hard. If it was easy everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great.
- one of the best lines in sports movies ever
I always tear up when that one girl can't read her name.
I really feel like y'all are not appreciating the comedic genius of Jon Lovitz. He's one of the most underrated comedians. He uses sarcasm like Michelangelo used paint.
That's the beauty of humor, it's totally subjective; while people like it and I respect that 100%. For me, it got a bit redundant and annoying; we all like what we like. :)
yea jon lovitz is funny in a movie called High School High. And i like him in the wedding singer.
I have to have seen this movie a half a dozen times before. How have I never noticed that's Bitty Schram from Monk?
Don't know if anybody else has posted about this, but Megan Cavanagh who played Marla Hooch, was actually a damned good ball-player and did all her own work blasting baseballs all over the place.
Heyyyyyy been binge watching yall allday 😆
Interesting fact: The injury Alice got while sliding into base was an actual injury. Not scripted. I heard most of the injuries shown were real, which is wild to think about. Thats a lot of dedication, though, and also some of the women from the actual team played some of the older characters, also. Loved this movie. Im not a sensitive guy....but definitely teared up at some scenes, lol
YOURE GONNA LOOSE....
YOURE GONNA LOOSE....
Brothers, you are great. This is one of my favorite movies and your review is the best I've seen. Thanks for adding you well thought out understanding of the overall point of the movie and the characters. The women who were playing baseball at the reunion were some of the real women who had played in that league.
THERE'S NO CRYING!
"Can you read, Honey?"
This is a phenomenal movie!
This movie is so awesome and the commentary was awesome 😎 this is I think one of the best historic sports movies ever.
Love your reaction to Stillwell: “oh god, it’s one of those!” 😂😂😂
Wow 🤩
Geena Davis is amazing shes one of my favorites I hope you add Thelma and Louise to your list I think a lot of us would agree it's a must see movie!
Crazy fact, that wasn't Geena Davis in old makeup. That was Lynn Cartwright who was a gorgeous actress back in the day. Geena Davis voiced over her dialogue for it to match.
Her sister's "kids" at the end, were in fact her grand-children. Think 40-50 years later...
“You’re gonna lose, you’re gonna lose!”
(Smack)
“Ha!”🤣
I about pissed myself laughing the first time I saw that scene.
Still cant get over Geena Davis character flying through the front windshield in A Long Kiss Goodnight first time i saw it. Most shocking......hilarious things ive ever seen 🤣
The bruise on Alice's leg was a real bruise on the actress. It took a year to heal.
I love this movie and I really enjoyed the funny commentary, honest reactions and very real & super wise thoughts shared at the end! I was laughing during the funny parts and somber at the serious or sad parts… right along with them. This was so much fun to watch these two and will continue to watch more!! Thank you for the smiles!
Rip to a the director of this great classic movie, Penny Marshall we still miss you
Jon Lovitz is priceless in this movie. Nailed that role.
The bruise after she slide into home was real
''The hard is what makes it great" ....... I just can't resist😏.....
That's what she said 😂
Going home to give the wife a "pickle tickle" lololololol
'Moneyball' is a tremendous movie...I hate baseball & this was a completely unique sports TRUE story.
And the cast is special Johah Hill and Brad freakin' Pitt.
Home run with this one! Love this movie, saw it in the cinema when I was 18. It’s one of the very few that I get a little misty eyed watching. The end hits hard. Glad you guys got to watch it.
"THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL"
I love this film. Penny Marshall is an icon!
It’s been years since I’ve seen this movie so I didn’t remember that dedication at the end at all. After looking it up, it turns out that the uniforms were designed by Wrigley Company’s art director (also the art director for the Chicago Cubs), Wrigley’s wife, and the first player signed to the league. As someone that played baseball all throughout school, I had the exact same reaction pretty much everyone does when they see the uniforms. Girls or not, they make no sense for baseball. Kind of hard to argue with em when it’s a player that helps with its design though.
Based on true story .. good movie
It was the “Madonna!? What the…” at the same damn time for me 😂
Field of Dreams next???
Congrats on 47K subs!!
Thank you :)
I always read the back of the video box when I used to go to Blockbuster Video as a kid. If what I read sounded good, I watched it.
Btw, my father actually quoted, "There is no crying in baseball. Lol
One of my favorite movies 😂😻 ever!!!
Loving your reactions these past couple days! You boys are hilarious!
