This weeks discount dandy is Mr. 3000, an amiable comedy that features a nice turn by Bernie Mac that allows it to overcome its obvious formulaic shortcomings.

| Nov 16, 2019

This fuzzy baseball story about a conceited player (Bernie Mac) who comes out of retirement to fix his record (he's three hits short of the magic three thousand) is a major letdown.

| May 12, 2014

Bernie Mac plays a baseball-star version of his corrosive 온라인카지노추천-show persona in Mr. 3000, a comedy that's essentially an extended ad for ESPN. Ironically, though, the insertion of real-life media provides the film's few laughs.

An arrogant former sportsman learns a lesson in humility in this predictable comedy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 12, 2014

Mac's rascally charm and deceptive gravity give promise of more substance than the movie finally delivers.

| May 12, 2014

This feature-length commercial for Major League Baseball covers all the cross-marketing bases.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 21, 2011

A mild and forgettable baseball comedy.

| Mar 21, 2011

There are no big surprises, but Mac and director Charles Stone III hit all the right dramatic notes, and Angela Bassett is reliably smart and sexy as Mac's love interest.

| Mar 21, 2011

Bernie Mac carries this risqu minor league film.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 26, 2010

This one's out of the park.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 14, 2007

Bernie Mac has a talent for cussing. It's a talent that can take you pretty far in the entertainment industry, but it still can't carry a movie, as Mr. 3000 demonstrates.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 27, 2006

The movie may not rank in the Hall of Fame for baseball flicks, but Stone and his star do honor to the heart of the game, and provide enough comedy curve balls to stay above the fray of the encroaching clichs.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 26, 2006

Deliberately Louisville-slugs its audience over the head.

| Feb 9, 2006

Mac gets a rare opportunity to showcase his true dramatic range as an actor.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 11, 2005

Mr. 3000 has nothing extraordinary to contribute to the ever-growing pile of sports movies with an ineffective artillery of weak comedy and romance.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 5, 2005

Somewhat surprising twist at the end makes MR. 3000 interesting, but this happens too late to improve generally disappointing impression of this film.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Jun 26, 2005

A solid, enjoyable early Autumn baseball film, and just in time for the MLB playoffs.

| Original Score: B+ | Jun 21, 2005

It's a team sport, but the story belongs to the individual, which gives the otherwise comfortable corniness of Mr. 3000 its meta-celebrity subtext.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 26, 2005

...easy-going...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 6, 2005

I can think of no compelling reason for anyone but a confirmed Bernie Mac fan wanting to watch it. I was already pretty much out of this ball game just a few innings in.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Feb 3, 2005
