This movie has everything you could possibly dream of: Feminism! Sisterhood! Baseball! Tom Hanks playing a bad boy! Madonna! Rosie O’Donnell!
I’m not much of a sports-movie person, but I make an exception for my quarterly rewatch of, the 1992 Penny Marshall film starring Geena Davis and Lori Petty as small-town sisters who make it big in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League .
Jon Lovitz plays a baseball scout who comes to the girls’ family farm to try to sign Dottie, but she’s not down. Kit is, but Jon Lovitz doesn’t want her, because he’s a misogynist pig. Finally, he says Kit can come if Dottie comes. The girls freak out about how girly the team uniforms are. Ugh, the male gaze. “There’s no pockets for my cigarettes,” says Madonna. Iconic.
The peanut vendor in this movie is making me want to go to a Dodgers game and eat peanuts. And drink a beer. And buy an insanely expensive Dodger Dog. Tom finally gets in the game and starts coaching, but unfortunately, Dottie’s already doing it, so they just end up confusing all the girls. At least he’s trying?Okay, this part is sad as hell; Rosie explains that she hates her boyfriend, but she thinks he’s the best she can do. Lesbianism awaits, buddy!
