I'm a makeup artist by profession, but I'm so glad they did not use old age makeup on Madonna and Gene Davis and everybody. I'm glad that they cast older actresses for the reunion scenes. Old age makeup is one of THE most difficult things to do really well and believably- and with that number of actresses who would need it, and the budget of this film, it would probably have not been as good as it could have been, and it would pull you right out of the movie- the feeling of actual time having passed, how much people change with age.. The actresses they did cast were SO spot-on perfect! The casting director should have won an award just for that. You could immediately tell who was who. Obviously, they gave us clues in the script as well, but everybody looked believable. Dottie standing next to her younger-self photograph: there is no doubt that that young woman grew into that older woman. They really did a tremendous job with that casting!!

Dottie made a point of telling Ellen Sue to throw high, fast balls because Kit had a history of missing them. She was definitely trying to help the Peaches win. Kit just had something to prove and all that fire built up in her, so she massacred that ball and then tackled Dottie so hard that she dropped the ball. She wanted that win!

She clearly dropped the ball on purpose. They showed TWO scenes to support this. 1) She held on to the ball when a larger woman ran her down. 2) She witnessed how Kitt was falling apart in the dugout. That was the purpose for showing those scenes. It doesn't take from her character at all. My sister would come before my team any day, especially knowing she's always felt like nothing. They actually show THREE scenes.....when Dottie tells her grandson to give his little brother a chance sometimes. She dropped the ball on purpose.

The guy dancing wirh Madonna 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. The horrible bruise on the player's leg was real and took over a year to heal.

Dottie dropped that ball on purpose, babies. She was the best in the league. The film made a point to show her skill...that she could catch and hold nearly any pitch, like when she fell into the dugout and came up holding the ball. The hit she took from Kitt was nothing for Dottie, she simply just decided to let her sister win in the end. Great reaction to one of my favorite movies!

While it’s obviously left for the viewer to decide, I’m in the Dottie-dropped-the-ball-on-purpose camp. They open the movie with her effectively telling her elder grandson to take it easy on his little brother. And they make a point of showing Dottie holding on after a collision at the plate. I think Dottie knew it meant far more to her sister than it did to her, so she let her win in a way that wouldn’t undermine her sister’s accomplishment.
@groujo14 ай бұрын
@@MotoNomad350 Agreed: it fits with the themes, and Dottie does seem to wish she had given Kit more room to flourish. But it doesn't fit with Dottie's , imho. She was a real ballplayer who respected the game and wanted to win. She drove hundreds of miles to return to the final game, and she told Betty to pitch Kit high. And you can see it on her face while Kit is running the bases: she's not rooting Kit on. So if she decided to drop the ball intentionally, it was at the very last second. And I'd say if that was the intention of the story to have that be the crucial choice, it's filmed strangely. They could have shown Dottie smiling while doing it or something. I think they chose not to do that because it would feel condescending, rather than loving. And that's exactly why I don't choose not to interpret it that way.

The number of people who seem to think that being good at something means that no one can ever win against you forever is ridiculous.

The father didn’t treat Dottie better. Kitt was just jealous because Dottie was great at everything and people recognized it and Dottie cast a long shadow, so Kitt was always in it. And Dottie loved her sister more than baseball, which is why she dropped that ball at home plate on purpose to make Kitt the hero and lift her up. The director of this movie made it a point to show Dottie being run into at home plate on two previous occasions by two women bigger and stronger than Kitt and not dropping the ball.

She basically gets rewarded in the end for being a spiteful, self absorbed, jealous, inconsiderate, tantrum throwing shrew. I hate it! There weren’t any consequences for her disgusting/hateful behavior. At no point did she ever show any love or compassion towards her own sister and the real problems she was going through. Kit didn’t deserve to win and it ruined the end of the movie for me.

Baseball and softball are played by the same rules, but softball uses a larger ball that hurts less when you get hit with it.

Recently, I passed on a reaction to this film, thinking, "Next time I'm in the mood for a reaction to A League of Their Own, I can always search for that flickaroo and pick whichever channel's reacting to it." Then it showed up on your channel, and I said "HOORAY, I'm down!" (Along with You, Me, & the Movies and Andelain, your reaction channel ranks at the tippity top for me! Your reactions are always fantastic!) Also: "Why do you gotta' be so good?" is the wrong question. Kit, addlepated from living in her sister's shadow, is the embodiment of sport: striving her hardest, past reason, with a chip on her shoulder and everything to prove. Dottie, the Michael Jordan of her sport, has nothing to prove. She's amazingly talented and a class act all the way, a wonderful human being. To me, the question Kit needs to be asking *herself* is, "How good can *I* be -- and when am I ever going to just be happy for my sister and congratulate her on being such a badass?"

Good story, but the only things in there that actually happened were that the players did go to charm school, and that they wore those awful uniforms. But women's baseball was popular from the very first. They were never in danger of being shut down, and the league lasted through the 1953 season. There were more and more major-league games on television, and for awhile, small-town teams suffered. The bruise on a player's hip that looked so horrible wasn't makeup. That was real.

I don't feel sorry for Kit. Kit is not a victim of anything. Kit is envious of Dottie. So much so that she distorts reality to suit her narrative. Kit is in a one-sided sibling rivalry with Dottie. Kit over exaggerates or lies about how people view & compare her to Dottie. Dottie even called her out on it at the beginning of the movie. Kit uses emotional black mail to manipulate Dottie into feeling guilty about everything & nothing. When the emotional black mail fails, she throws a tantrum & angrily lashes out. Regarding Kit's skill, she has it. We don't know if her skill is actually less or equal to Dottie's because she spends the entire movie, with exception to the baseball tryouts, mimicking Dottie's technique. Kit is a very insecure & immature young woman with low self-esteem. Kit placed herself in Dottie's shadow. No one put her

Softballs are lighter and bigger, they are also pitched underhand. It's almost the same sport.

Virtual Hug ❤ Madonna is hot 🔥 The guy in the beginning who recruited the girls is the great Jon Lovitz. I see a lot of reactors watching a hilarious movie he's in called Rat Race. I know you two will love Lovitz in that movie. As always you two put a smile on my face ❤

I think you meant “Madonna WAS hot 🔥”. Cause these days…Yikes! On Easter I pulled up a current pic of her to show my mom and husband how psychotically she destroyed her face and my toddler niece started bawling. If aliens showed up and saw her they’d immediately run back to Melmac screaming. You’ve gotta be severely mentally ill to purposely do that to yourself.

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

There is a wonderful series in Prime, a TV Version of this Movie. It explores the drama of lesbian lifestyles back in the 40’s. Please watch it, it’s a really good show.
