 Baseball movies is always a hard sell in Sweden se we hardly know what it is, but they sold it as "The Worst Gang", hiding as much as possible about the sport. While the movie itself is maybe a satire, it throws some good points about sports in general. Tom Bergener was a star for awhile in the late 1980s, as was Corbin Berenson thanks to L.A. Law, and a young Wesley Snipes, and offcourse Charlie Sheen who has killed his career more than twice since this movie.  They could have got away with nearly anything at this point. The joy is watching Burt and Kirk showing off as they ain't the ordinary senior citizens that you can displace somewhere and then forget about them. Good later day role for Alexis Smith too. Seing those two giants together, it's easy to forgive the flaws of the plot.  With the news of Kirk leaving us, I imediately looked around to see what I have, Having the afternoon off, Spartacus it was, and worth every minute frpm start to finish, all 3 hours. Back in the days when stories were character driven and let's the story develope out of characters. "I'm Spartacus", no you were Kirk, and St Peter better be prepared so he knows what just hit him and slammed the gates.  We Miss Him! The first Major League film is a personal favourite, a real pick me up picture. I liked it so much I went to the theatre to see the sequel and hated it, barely got through it, and I haven't seen it since. So I spose now I'm a crusty middle ager I should give it another go... I actually purchased a second hand DVD of Tough Guys last year, and finally reviewed it then - www.imdb.com/review/rw5089899/?ref_=tt_urv 6/10Spartacus - A personal favourite, it was the first film I watched when I bought my first big screen TV - www.imdb.com/review/rw2011450/?ref_=tt_urv 10/10
