A few years ago, my job hosted a Halloween trick or treat for local kids. There was a little girl dressed as a Rockford Peach. I remember squealing with delight. Hands down my favorite costume. Afterward, her mom thanked me because it was her daughter’s favorite movie but most people at the event didn’t know her costume. My reaction made that little girl’s night.
That is awesome!
I live in Rockford. I even met some of the original Peaches and got a signed baseball. We are proud of them around here.
Great story. This is one of my all time favorite movies.
That is awesome. Is the stadium still there? Or is it something else now adays
How cool. I'm from Loves Park but only found out about the Peaches when this movie came out. I'm always happy to tell people I came from the home of the Peaches!! (and the Sock Monkey! hahaha)
I love ❤️ this inspiring movie. All the actors played their parts so well. I took my two daughters to watch this when they were small. They played ball for seven years. It’s rough on girls too who get hurt and my youngest was so fast at stealing bases. Now they’re grown women. So this is nostalgic for me. Loved 🥰 your REVIEW. Thank you 🙏🏽 pretty lady.
Director Penny Marshall insisted all the actresses really know how to play ball...no faking it. She even had Rosie O'Donnell teach Madonna (and they became lifelong friends)
This was a great role for Madonna and smart casting. I never watch sports movies but she was the only reason I went to see it. Probably a lot of movie tickets sold to Madonna fans like me who maybe wouldn't have bothered otherwise.
One of the best moments in this movie is when the black lady catches the baseball and just nods. This is before Jackie Robinson became the first black baseball player. Baseball during the war was a whites only sport. I mean, look at how they treated the women. Etiquette and beauty courses, and those ridiculous skirts. Nobody expected women’s baseball to take off at all, but it did, and they still tried to shut it down. They thought it would basically be the equivalent of a more sanitized burlesque show. Little did they know. This is in my view one of the best chick flicks of all time.
Have you checked out the TV show recently? They dive deep into the color issues, as well as the gender issues.
Fully appreciate this important comment with just a small clarification: Robinson became the first black baseball player in the Major Leagues: there was a Black baseball league, and Robinson played for one of the teams: the Kansas City Monarchs. Other gifted Black players were the great Satchell Paige and Josh Gibson.
@@TSIRKLAND tried but it just really falls short of the movie imo.
Penny Marshall wrote that scene in. The lady saw that they were making the movie and wanted to try out, not knowing that it was all white cause of the time Penny saw her (the only black woman to show up) she was good gave her a role.
"There's no crying in baseball!"....iconic❤❤❤
"Will you shut up!" Was obviously an improvised line. They were shooting the scene and would have had no way of knowing that the cow was suddenly going to moo while Jon Lovitz said his line. So he stayed in character and yelled at the cow to shut up.
My grandmother grew up in Raccine before moving to Pennsylvania. She was my best friend and passed away at 93 yrs old. This was her favorite movie and I've been crying alot missing her. This was a sign seeing you react to this today. Thank you! ❤😢❤
I'm in the same boat...my Nana passed away 2 weeks ago at age 94 and she was my best friend other then my momma who passed away at age 65 in 2019...I lost two the most important women in my life and me and my Nana would watch movies together and soap operas, Touched By Angel series, and we would talk about the storylines and laugh, get mad, cry and have a ball together.
It's been so ruff for me...I internalize my grief and just workout a lot and run a lot, it's like my therapy.
The sad part was my Grandma suffered from dementia and in the last two years she couldn't remember me, until I talked to her for a while and reminded her about me...but it wasn't dementia that took her from us it was a car accident...her fragile body couldn't take the impact plus she had dementia and she was 94...almost all her bones were broken and she passed away in the hospital peacefully in her sleep.
This movie always reminds me of her because we have watched it together before and she loved it.
So I know your pain sweetheart.
Sending my love and condolences your way and keep your head...just know she will always be with you and she will never leave you...she is at peace full of love and tranquility...she in her next journey into the afterlife...her soul, spirit, energy continues after this life...I feel my mom and Nana with me all the time and I even heard their voices separately wake me up in the morning's...I would wake up startled and look around and ask my dad if he called me...he said No🙊
And I recognized my Nana's voice and my mom voice the next day.
So I know they are sending me signs because I'm grieving so much.
God bless you🙏
@@jiovanna4136 it is okay to cry, but some happy tears for there is no more pain and memory issues. They watch over you now, and stop by from time to time if you let them leave you little signs and coincidences. We are supposed to lose the ones we love, how else are we supposed to know how much they meant to us, it's just the order of things till we are all reunited. Take care you, chin up, and smile at memories and remembrances.
@@billyhndrsn4542 Thank you for that❤...that really meant so much.
You take care also and God Bless you
@@jiovanna4136 you are welcome, dear one.
Hugs and take care… I was very blessed to have three sets of grandparents-paternal set divorced and remarried when I was 1 and 4 years old, and my dad raised us that “they are married, and we respect them all as grandparents.”
Anyway, I was 26 years old before I lost a grandparent… my older kids even developed very sweet relationships and sometimes even ask to visit their graves!
Still it’s so difficult if bittersweet, as it’s really a blessing to have had such long good lives. But of course they are missed.
My sister is 8yrs older than me. As a kid, she looked after me like no one else did, and as adults, she is my best friend, we are polar opposites in almost all things, lol, but love, and values we share the same. We celebrate each others achievements ,encourage each other and console each other when times are tough. I know I wouldn't be who I am without her. Sisters ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is one of the best movies ever made. I find it very difficult to watch the older ladies at the baseball hall of fame without crying. Such a heartwarming ending. God Bless these women. 🙏
One of the things I super appreciate about this movie is the casting job they did for the older versions of the characters. You recognize them immediately. They did such a great job with that. They could have tried to use old age makeup, but it would not have been nearly as effective. (And this is coming from a professional effects makeup artist! We do our best, and there have been many terrific aging makeups done in film. But for this one, they made the absolute right choice.). The casting was just so spot-on; all of those "mature" versions of the characters were absolutely great. Really brought the whole thing home. (pun absolutely intended!)
I really loved that and even better was that the older women playing baseball were the women who had really played on the original League of Women's baseball.
While I completely understand the frustration with Kit, I've softened towards her in my recent viewings. Feelings of inferiority are TOUGH to beat, and they didn't come out of nowhere. Based on the way a man in the crowd at the beginning treated her and what she said about her dad, it's clear that other people are constantly comparing her to Dottie and that she's basically a non-entity without her sister, so she started comparing herself, too. Then they get into the league and she's STILL being referred to as Dottie's kid sister that was only allowed in because they wanted Dottie, therefore discrediting the fact that she DID get on the team herself. There's also the fact that Dottie is talented without really trying and doesn't really even care, and I can definitely understand why that's infuriating whenever you work so hard just to get decent at the thing you love. And with the closing hug when Dottie tells her "I love you," it genuinely shocks her. Sounds like the girl just didn't get told "I love you" enough.
I definitely think they could've done better writing her character by giving her something outside of her inferiority complex. There weren't enough genuinely sweet sister moments before the end. There was a LOT of bending over backwards on Dottie's end that Kit should've held herself accountable for. She should've caught the ball her sister hit right back at her instead of dropping to the ground and had a moment of "Oh my gosh, I got my sister out" and that could've been a private little win and confidence boost without giving us an ending that leaves everyone debating if Dottie dropped the ball on purpose or not. And since Dottie's said from the beginning to lay off the high ones, she should've laid off the high ones at the end, which would've been HUGE character growth.
I feel like she did have character growth in the end though, because she didn’t lay off the high ones and actually hit it. One of the many reasons I feel like Dottie didn’t drop the ballon purpose. In the end, Kit snapped out of her inferiority mindset. I feel like once she realized what Dottie told Ellen Sue about the high ones, her face and attitude changed to “alright, let’s go” and she hit it, booked it, and slammed it into a win. Dottie even said Kit wanted it more than her. Dottie in the beginning of the movie even told her oldest grandson, “give him a chance” but she didn’t say “let him win”. Dottie gave Kit a chance by getting on that train, but Dottie never held back in the last game.
But I think what you said about Kit being surprised by Dottie telling her she loved her is so true. When you’ve been raised to be invisible and/or compared to the golden child in your family, you never feel loved and don’t know how to react when someone does say they love you. But you also beat yourself up so much you feel like nothing you do is good enough. And I think Kit felt all those things HARD.
@@whitneygregg5805 I guess I just think the better character growth would’ve been for her to listen to the coaching she was receiving, because it wasn’t just Dottie telling her to lay off the high ones, her coach told her, too. She was being told to stop at third base, too, but kept going. I guess I’m speaking from the lens of a softball player, so to see someone blatantly ignore all coaching is irritating, so her listening would’ve been more satisfying to me.
It would have been better for kit if they had been put on different teams from the beginning but then there wouldn't have been as much conflict between them.
@@SummersMovingBookshelf So true! She really was as stubborn as a mule.
@@SummersMovingBookshelf if Kit were the protagonist then absolutely, but this is primarily Dotties/the leagues story so I think they did enough to give the hints that Kit would continue to grow and change after that final game once Dottie left.
Marla's daddy is just precious.
My Dad and I went to the premiere of this at a theatre in Sun City, Arizona and it was a special night. It was put on by a local radio station and they had several ladies there who had all played in the league and then later retired in Sun City.
They all told stories and answered questions after the movie...
Dad and I both kept crying and laughing throughout the movie...and I still do both now
I felt the same way you did about Kit the first time I watched the movie. Through time I’ve come to really empathize with her. I feel that the reason she acted the way she did was because she felt like the only reason she was in the league was because of Dottie and she took it out on Dottie instead of realizing she was good enough on her own. At the end of the day, they seem to have realized their love outweighed any competition between them. Sad it took them so long to realize it.
Big bruise on the leg was real. And stayed on her leg over a year .
Several years ago, my daughter was the only girl on a baseball team. For Halloween that year, she said, “I want to look like a girl baseball player.” I wish I could post a pic, but she was an amazing Rockford Peach for Halloween! ❤️
There’s no crying in baseball, but there’s crying in my house when watching this movie! I’m the worst sucker for an inspirational sports story 😆 … “Rudy” is one of my favorites too!
Great reaction as always! You’re one of my favorite reaction channels!!
Some of the original members of the league were on the field playing at the end of the movie and during the closing credits.
Loved this. And I agree with your statements about Kit. I have empathy for how she feels, because it’s extremely hard to constantly feel inferior to someone and to feel like you have nothing “special” or that’s “your thing” and place to shine. That’s ultimately not the fault of her older sister though who wasn’t setting out to harm her sister or make her feel inferior; but her own insecurities.
Maybe Kit has been in Dottie's presence for too long? Kit needs somebody else to be compared to, somebody to serve as different example of a ball player. Kit needs a larger "sample size" to see more precisely where she fits in the larger spectrum of the female players.
In Kit's defense, having TWO older sisters who were beautiful, popular, athletic, etc., is a pain in the butt. On my first day of high school, I walked into the building, only to be greeted by 2 giant portraits of them, even though they had graduated almost a decade prior. Every single teacher's eyes would bug out when calling my name, only for them to say, "are you really related to Sophia & Elizabeth?" Adults really have no problem in openly pointing out how you fail in comparison to your sibling, in their eyes anyway. I was not good at high school sports, but I had skipped 2 grades, so I was clearly good at academics! Years of that can really mess with your confidence. Luckily I transferred schools, but even as an adult, it still comes up occasionally. Years ago, I went to Sophia's house to feed her dog as her family were away for the weekend, and her neighbor called the cops, claiming that it was a break-in. It took hours for the police to believe that I was an actual blood relation to my own sibling. One of them actually said to me, "what happened to you?" Gross!
Even though it doesn't bother me anymore, it can still annoy me to have hear it from people who don't even know me. I am perpetually known in my hometown as, "The Other One," which I kind of like.
(Side note: My dad named us after actresses that we looked like, so Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, and Rosalind Russell. Those two look like their namesakes, while I definitely do not, which is fine and also funny!)
Answer to cop's question "What happened to you?": "I met an asshole like you."
Reading this, I immediately thought "what lovely names these 3 sisters have!"
So thanks for the bonus at the end sharing the background. 🙂
I think you don't give yourself enough credit! 2 grades!? You must be very clever. Looks are fleeting, cleverness lasts a lifetime.
You only need one goal in life. To be the best "you" you can be.
Yeah. I had four sisters... One bilingual, one an incredible artist, one has run the Boston Marathon... It's a lot.
You should look into watching “Hidden Figures” or “the help” both great movies about African American women great movies. Enjoyed this :)
Hidden Figures is definitely one of the best
The G.I that Madonna danced with in the bar and the announcer from the final play offs were Penny Marshalls co stars from the show Laverne & Shirley.
It shocks me how many reactors who watch this don't even realize that it's Madonna at the beginning.
John Lovitz was nominated for an academy award for this movie. A great film! Thank you for reacting to it.
One of my absolute favorite alums from my university played in this league. She would take her spring exams early to go do spring training then play ball all summer long. She was full of so many stories about her time playing baseball and her time as a student. She passed away in the last few years. I think of her every time I watch this movie.
The "Will you shut up!?" line was improvised. After so many takes of the cow trying to gain her 15 minutes of fame, John Lithgow went with the line for comedic effect and lemme tell ya.. kills me every single time 😂 love the reactions, can't wait to see what's next ✌️❤
Jon Lovitiz
@Pattie Brayman Skelly hahaha thank you! I had a feeling I was getting it wrong 🤦♀️ should've googled ha!
Most of the women in this League posted statistics comparable to the male players, and some posted statistics that were better than male players. A good example was Jean Faut, who pitched for the South Bend Blue Sox.
Jean Faut compiled a lifetime record of 140-64, with a 1.23 earned run average in 235 pitching appearances. This ERA marks her as one of the greatest pitchers in the sport, male or female. She also accomplished something that no other pitcher in the history of the game did: she pitched two perfect games. No male pitcher ever managed that. Ever. She also pitched two no-hitters, and led her league in strikeouts three years in a row and set a single-season win percentage at .909, which again is better than most male pitchers.
The fact that these women are not in the Baseball Hall of Fame on their own merits is a crime.
_A League of Their Own_ is a class film that never gets old no matter how many times you watch it. It's just that solid of a story!
I cry every time I see Dottie and Kit hug at the end. Every time.
The song in the beginning is a Grammy nominated song written for the movie by Carole King called "Now and Forever". You will have to react to it on your music channel.
I love this movie so much and I listen to the song Madonna wrote for it 'This used to be my playground' all the time,it was interesting to see all of those actresess in one place also this was the first time I saw Madonna in a movie and then later saw Evita which side note if you have not seen that one you should check it out. This is based off a real life story and it's amazing how a bunch of woman were able to brake through and change everything. Gina Davis as always was amazing here as well. Nice reaction as always and glad you liked the movie.
There's no crying in baseball!
There were 2 women who played in The Negro League. I had the pleasure of meeting Mamie "Peanut" Johnson before she passed. The Black woman who threw the ball was making the point that they had the skill to play, but the League was segregated.
As a softball player in Southern California in the early90s - early 2000s, this movie was a huge part of my childhood. We had slogans from it, quoted it often, watched it at team parties, etc. I someone started playing softball late and had never seen it, she was quickly introduced to the wonderful movie. As an adult, I still have no patience for Kit, unlike many. Someone with her attitude wouldn't have made it far as a kid playing with us, though, because it just wasn't something that was tolerated. We played highly competitive softball, as in national champions were always from our area and college teams (across the country) were made up 90% of girls from my county, and attitude was seen as either as important, or more important, than actual ability to play.)
People with an overachieving older sibling understand Kit.
Overachieving?? Dottie was gifted due no fault of hers - and Kit was envious - so much so she almost destroyed her chances at a great career.
You missed out on the extra ending film. The real Women Ballplayers play a game after the credits roll and a song Madonna wrote for the movie “ This Used to Be My Playground” is played. Go back and watch the extended ending…. SanJoséBob
That radio announcer was spot on about the direction of the country
I was the oldest child in a broken family. My mother had emotional issues; still does. She married 5 times, had 3 children by her first 3 husbands.
My brother hated me. I loved and was concerned for him. I was intellectually-gifted (I'm now a Mensa member); he was dyslexic, had lazy eye (legally-blind in one eye), left-handed and had red/green colorblindness. He dropped out of school, later tried to get his GED, was working toward his life goal of joining the US Coast Guard, then found out having only one good eye disqualified him. Added to that was our birthdays being 3 years and one week apart; our birthdays were celebrated together, meaning we had no personal celebration. And me being female and he being male in a chauvinistic society meant the competition between us was fierce and solely powered by his resentment.
He passed away at 26, shot in the neck one drunken night during a brawl that included an intoxicated cop who had brought along his service revolver. The shooting was only a mile from the hospital, but he bled to death before he could be transported there. His girlfriend miscarried from the shock of losing him.
I still remember the first thing that ran through my mind when I heard he had died: "Arguments are stupid".
Ah, sibling rivalry. I've been introduced my whole life as my older brother's little sister. Never as a daughter, only as their son's sister, for nearly 70 years. It messes with your head, how you value yourself or not.
It is always fun seeing you laugh and I always enjoy how you pause the movie to explain your view on things, on how it relates to you in real life, etc. For another great Geena Davis movie check out "Thelma & Louise" from 1991. It won 1 Oscar and was nominated for 5 others.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The girl crying because she can’t read, kills me every time.
I stayed in Genna Davis’s ex-house in los angeles after she moved out. Still got mail for her.
Women were also working in factories . My grandmother operated a drill press for the war effort
I adore this movie. It’s hilarious, heartfelt, and I just love the camaraderie between all the characters.
Something I've picked up with Dottie, is she talks a lot about how she doesn't care about this stuff, but she's obviously very competitive, and imo with Kit in particular. That has to be intensely disheartening. In more recent viewings she does genuinely hit me as a person who wants Kit to be better, but not as good as her. As a younger sibling who struggled academically, with an older brother who did very well, it's intensely disheartening. And I didn't even have it as bad as Kit (I had a few talents of my own that were better.) It just hurts.
I think it's also fair to assume that Dottie was like that even when they were little kids, when the age difference would actually make a notable difference in skill level. It's important to remember at the start, she advised her grandson to give his little brother a chance sometime, seemingly something she learned after ending up with such a distant relationship with her own little sister, who she never went easy on. Dottie is good at everything except for this. Kit felt like she was in Dottie's shadow for her whole life, until she made it on her own, and this is something that-probably unintentionally, but due to her own pride-Dottie directly contributed to. I liked them both when I was younger, but as I've gotten older, I've found myself feeling a lot of pity for Kit, and not much sympathy toward Dottie.
Where I think this movie fails, is not giving us enough about the history between the two sisters, so we can get a better, deeper sense of their relationship. Dottie is right to give it her all on a professional level, but I feel like if she had treated Kit differently in the years leading up to the events in this movie, there probably wouldn't have been much, if any, issue between the two of them.
She dropped the ball on purpose :)
Even if you're not a baseball fan this is a great movie.
VERY TRUE
❤Please react to -Steel Magnolias 1989 and Fried Green Tomatoes 1991 -Thanks!!!❤
My Mom was working a GE as a Punch Press Operator day shift .
Then she would work at the Drive In
( A&W type ) nights and Sundays .
She quit school in the 5th grade because she was hungry . Got her GED because Grandma made her . before she could marry Dad in 47 .
She didn't play baseball . She had son's and tormented the Umpires .
Including her oldest son who Umped .
She could make any Ump just about cry from laughing at the quality of the burns ! 🔥
Imagine her son 😂😂 " MOM ! STOP IT !" the crowd would just fall over laughing at the big scary umpire ! My brother look like Manson or Manson looked like my brother !?!?
Love y'all 🗽 shot big , aim small .
I'm so glad I found your channel! Your face perfectly captures all of the emotions all the scenes are aiming for 💚
One of my favorite movies of all time!
I think Dotti let Kit win that last game, just so Kit could have her moment.
Naww she wouldn't let her get a win that way. Kit had to earn it and finally realized she was good enough all along.
Amazing classic A League Of Their Own directed by Penny Marshall starring Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Madonna, Rosie O'Donnell, Lori Petty, Jon Lovitz, David Strathairn and Bill Pullman. The music video of the film is the song "This Used to be My Playground" single by Madonna. The famous line is epic "There's No Crying in Baseball". Thank you lady great reaction excellent😊👍👍👍
" You have to be content with your own light "
Perfect words...good advice.
Be your own individual and love yourself and be confident in your own light...never compare yourself to anyone...be different and think out of the box...invent your own light.
I always follow that in life...I am always myself and do my own thing in life...be unique, not a carbon copy follower.
THANK YOU
One of my favorite sports movies. Actually a favorite period.
Jon Lovitz, the recruiter is super funny in this movie.
It is a pleasure to see you watch this. You had so much joy in the funny parts, you cried in the emotional parts. I think this movie might have been made for you.
My sisters and I watched this movie over and over when we were kids. I'm glad you got to watch this and share that special insight you do, and I'm thankful for the emotion you shared too; tears and laughter.
No crying in baseball!!
I just read yesterday that the scene where whatshername gets injured and has that huge ugly bruise on her hip wasn't makeup... Apparently she actually injured herself filming and what we see is a real scrape and enormous bruise.
In defense of the “dress uniform” and charm school, they were implemented to fight the negative press of the time. The people in charge of the league did everything they could to emphasize the femininity of the players. The women in the league had to be twice as much of a women and just as good as a man.
Apparently, that raspberry was REAL.
Love this movie 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 i'm hitting like even before it starts
Ajay!! 👋🏼 You gotta let me know what you think of B*stard out of Carolina- some trigger warnings! And Ode to Billy Joe. 🙂✨
@@kimberlinibambini1988 Hi Kimberlini, i just seen your reply, i don't get notifications for replies but not sure why. I've not had a chance to watch it yet but i downloaded it, but i did listen to the Ode to Billy Joe song on youtube and it was pretty good, i also thought the singer was male until i watched the video hah she has a good voice.
You earned a subscriber with the pause speech about sibling rivalry. God bless!
I love the way you react to the word Columbia!
A few thoughts:
1) I graduated HS in 1974. Up until 1970 girls could only play half-court basketball because it was thought that full-court meant that all that running would make our baby-making insides get messed up.
2) The actress who played Marla Hooch did all of her own batting. She was a powerhouse
3) A friend's mother was a Racine Belle and she loved this movie. She said that it got "Hollywooded up" but really captured the spirit of the League and the women who played.
Fried green tomatoes
Try one of these 3 movies or all 3: The Gods Must Be Crazy - Caddyshack - Empire Of The Sun. Also : This Is Spinal Tap 😏😉
Betty Spaghetti is Penny Marshall's daughter
Good to see you again!❤. You would love "Hidden Figures". It's based on a true story about 3 brilliant African American women who worked for NASA in the late 50's-early 60's. It's one of my favorite movies ever ❤❤ BTW, the economy actually flourished during WW2 when women took over jobs traditionally held by men. Once the war was over, women got sent back home to crank out babies and be home makers. Post WW2 productivity took a huge nose dive after that. The artist Norman Rockwell did a famous painting called "Rosie the Riviter" honoring these amazing women who kept our country running while working, taking care of and feeding the kids plus growing victory gardens and canning every scrap of vegetables they could.. America was hungry and women fed them ❤
Already done dear
Aah! One of my favorite movies ☺️.
The Video during the Closing Credits are the real players from the Girls Baseball League playng a game, Most of John Lovit's (the Recruite) funny lines were delivered off the top of his head during filning. The leg Bruise on the Player was real!
I watched the movie with my husband for the first time today, and remembered you reacted to it😅❤
I have watched this reaction twice already, I am a glutton for tears, laughter and your commentary to these reviews! I do have siblings, no sisters but I didn't have the same relationship like Dottie and Kit with my siblings. I think the question everyone keeps talking about after so many years later is whether or not Dottie dropped the ball because in the end it keeps people talking about it. I say yes, she dropped the ball on purpose because to me that action comes back to the beginning of the movie for me when Dottie as a grandmother, she told her eldest grandson "Now remember, no matter what your brother does, he littler than you are. So, give him a chance to shoot." Then she tells her youngest grandson, "Kill him" In my opinion it looks like she gave Kit a chance to shine. It also looks like an accident, that she didn't drop the ball on purpose! Did the writers want us to believe it was on purpose? Did they give us a choice? I think they did. Like art, movies are open to interpretation, and I think both of our interpretations satisfies the viewer. That's just me. I enjoyed this reaction again and again! Tissues and all! ☮💕👏
Childhood fav. Love Dottie ❤
1. Tom Hanks can play a disagreeable character after all. He's the GOAT.
2. Lori Petty/Kit character is a brat, but she could get it. 😍😋
3. Debra Winger was originally going to plat Dottie but backed out when Madonna was cast.
4. The death notice delivery guy was all levels of wrong.🥵
5. Luckiest kid in the world because I'm not there to kill him.
6. I suspect Dottie dropped the ball on purpose, so Kit could have her time to shine.
7. Thank you Penny Marshall
Please watch Field Of Dreams!
I'm so glad to see this! Amazing reaction! This and Steel Magnolias ( 1989) are some of the movies i always hoped to see you reacting, because i knew it would be great, and you don't disappoint, really good reaction.
This is one of my favourite movies. Im so glad you reacted to this and your laugh is just infectious 😂❤
13:25 - considering that some of them can't even read, basic etiquette is not a bad thing. If you spend your life on a farm, it's understandable that you don't know which hand holds the knife, how to wear heels and how to present yourself in the best light. And there will be reporters. That's where lessons come in and they also give a confidence boost.
I love this movie, great reaction too, pickle tickle LOL.
Im.sister is highly intelligent and went to Oxford university, she was also my dad's favorite. The joke here is my daughter olwen and here is Owen's brother. She was also.top ineverything.
I am also highly intelligent and read classics at u university and was a great sportsman.
Olsen and I never hated each other, we are great friends but... It is hard when the focus was always olwen.
Priceless Reaction to this Film,Loved It
24:23 - Winning doesn't matter if nobody's paying to watch them play. Any professional sports league needs fans and money to survive
Tom Hanks is hilarious in this he steals this movie.
If you like Geena Davis (Dottie) she plays in THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT with Samuel L. Jackson.
I once heard a great quote, you shouldn't try to be superior to other people, you should try to be superior to your former self. To work daily on improving yourself.
I adore your reactions, because it's from movies I grew up with, I send you a greeting.
I always cry watching this movie. i reemmeber when it came out and me and my family saw it in theater. it's my favorite sports film. i feel sosososo bad for penny marshall. she directed and worked her ass off and didn't get best director. i felt it should of gotten it soo badly. it was made so well.
The guy you think you know is Gary Marshall, older brother of Penny Marshall, the director of the movie. Math? I'm a musician... math is boring as hell to me. This is the role/movie that resurrected Tom Hanks' career to the higher level and roles he deserved he had made a few so-so movies the previous 2-3 years...the won an Oscar in 1994 for 1993's Philadelphia and the next year for Forrest Gump.
In my family I was the oldest but we all got put in certain categories by our mom. I was the smart one, my next youngest sister was thd tough one and our baby sister was the pretty one. Each of us had our own hang upd because of that. I hated it when my parents would ask my siblings " Why can't you get grades like her?" and hold up my report card full of A's and a couple B's on occasion. All it did was make them resent me.
$75.00 a week in the early 1940’s was a lot of money soldiers were earning from $50.00 to $100.00 a month
New subscriber here, I love how sweet and genuine you are during these reaction videos :) this is such an enjoyable movie, every time this movie comes on my parents always have to stop and watch it !
Thanks for subbing! I appreciate the feedback much love
Those were the real women in the pictures and most of the women singing in the end
A classic!!
I really enjoyed seeing your reaction to some of the cultural elements of baseball: superstitious thinking, players working through injuries and struggles, and managers screaming at you about a mistake you made. On that last topic, you looked so shocked to see Tom Hanks yelling at her for crying. Or am I wrong to characterize your reaction as shock? Baseball can be a very emotional game, but there's also a lot of bluster, flared tempers, and grudges held between teams.
Oh you are gonna LOVE this one❤❤❤
This is one of mine and my sisters favorite movies. My sister and I are 8 years apart I am older when my sister went to school she got a few of my old teachers and when they got her class they compared her to me and she would get so mad and shut down. School was not her thing I excelled in school she was better at different things. She had to learn to that lesson. We became and still are the closest we always say it is us against the world. I still tell her to make her laugh when either one of cry to lighten the mood that there is no crying in baseball. ❤
beside your reactions, it is wonderful watching your laughter!
Lori Petty (Kit) plays a very great part in the movie Point Break --- she looks so different you would hardly recognize her -- Its a fabulous film full of action with Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze -- Id love it if you found the time to watch that one
This is such a fantastic movie. Stellar cast & inspiring story.

I work as a caregiver now (hairdresser 29 years) and I recently filled in on a shift with a woman who was a player then. She also ran in Roller Derby. Laws keep me from going into any more detail, but I feel like I have a front row seat to history when she talks.
