Certainly not the greatest movie ever made but if you've ever sat at a ballpark around people like this you'll find it entertaining.

Movie Reviews
Great Film - more to think about than "baseball"
Catherine S. Todd | Oxford NC, USA | 01/30/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Ignore the heckler in the stands below; this is a great film not just about baseball, or gambling, but about people and how they "win or lose." In this film, no one loses and the entire cast hits homeruns. I loved it.Anyone know who did the great blues music featured in the film? I would love to have a CD of this as well!"
A Day at the Ballpark
Henry E. West | Chicago, U.S.A. | 05/24/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Bleacher Bums is a movie version of the famous Second City stage play which stars Wayne Knight(Seinfeld, Third Rock from the Sun), Brad Garrett(Everybody Loves Raymond, Til' Death) and Hal Sparks(Queer as Folk). The film is about a group of loyal baseball fans who take bets on the entire game, cheer and boo for the home team and gets on each others' cases. Now, due to legal and trademark issues, the film cannot use the Chicago Cubs name or logo, Wrigley Field, or Major League Baseball, and also, the film was not shot on location in Chicago, but Toronto, Ontario, Canada. But anyway, Bleacher Bums will make you laugh, cry, and believe in the spirit of baseball."
Bleacher Bums Movie Review

"This movie is great combination of adult humor, love story and object lesson. You'll laugh till you cry at some scenes and may be tempted to cry at others. If you like relational movies, you have GOT to see Bleacher Bums."
The Cubs
Robert Kozlowski | Garden Grove, CA USA | 07/20/2008
(3 out of 5 stars)
"The movie is good but I wonder why the name change for the home team went from the Cubs to the Bruins? In the stage play the Cubs remain Cubs. The movie was filmed at Wrigley Field so the Cubs had to cooporate with the project."
Bleacher Bums
Paul A. Moore | North San Juan, CA USA | 08/01/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"A very good adaptation of a stage play, with an outstanding cast. It has an mature perspective on the love of baseball and the compulsion of gambling. It is funny and serious at the same time. One of the finest examples of ensemble acting available on film."
