  • Overview
  • Details
The perennially pitiful Durham Bulls ink pitching phenom "Nuke" LaLoosh (Tim Robbins), a gifted but undisciplined rookie, in hopes that he'll usher the team to victory. But it's up to seasoned bush-league catcher "Crash" Davis (Kevin Costner) to keep him in line. Meanwhile, a winsome groupie (Susan Sarandon) who confers sexual favors on a new player each season chooses Nuke as this year's beneficiary. The problem is, she's more attracted to Crash.

Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that there are many explicit discussions of sexuality in this film. Susan Sarandon's character spends a great deal of screen time outlining her philosophy on sexuality, especially about the relationship between sex and baseball. There are a few scenes of simulated sex with a little nudity. Alcohol, lots of strong language ("f--k," "s--t," and "p---y"), bar fights, and a marijuana reference are also onscreen.

Sexual Content

The movie's plot compares sex to baseball. The film is chock-full of sex, some nudity, and frank sexual discussions.

Violence

There are two fist fights between the rookie pitcher and the catcher; however, they are short and there is no bloodshed. Lots of yelling.

Language

Very strong language. The word "f--k" occurs over 10 times in the first 20 minutes of the movie. Also, "son of a bitch," "p---y," "c--k," and "s--t" are frequent.

Social Behavior

Embrace all you meet, because there is something to be learned from each person you encounter. Also, there are multiple ways to look at every situation.

Consumerism

The players drink Miller Light and Jim Beam.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

The coaches chew tobacco, Annie smokes marijuana, and the players drink alcohol.
