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.

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.

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

Deliberately Louisville-slugs its audience over the head.

| Feb 9, 2006

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

This is your standard genre fare: Smart-ass player gets schooled, finds love, and is redeemed in time for the final big game.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 19, 2004

An uncompromisingly grown-up comedy that any willing adult can see in any multiplex in the country.

| Sep 18, 2004

Good-looking and smooth, with a great soundtrack...

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 18, 2004

The script is much like a nine-inning sitcom that uses an obvious formula to tell a familiar story while garnering cheap laughs.

| Sep 17, 2004

Although the writing and direction are flabby, the drama contrived and the romance utterly unbelievable.

| Sep 17, 2004

Bassett and Mac deserve better vehicles for their charm and talent.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 17, 2004

An intermittently charming remake of the 1992 Tom Selleck yarn Mr. Baseball.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 17, 2004

It's no Bull Durham, but it certainly gives Major League a run for its money.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 17, 2004

Slumps under the weight of product endorsements and a misguided romantic subplot.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 17, 2004

[Mac] gives surprising wisdom and heart -- along with the laughs -- to what could have been just another generic baseball comedy.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 17, 2004

Director Charles Stone III and writers Eric Champnella, Keith Mitchell and Howard Michael Gould have reconfigured a sports movie plot to bring to it depth as well as laughter, and, better yet, made it unpredictable.
