"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
A League of Their Own | 1992 | PG | - 2.0.2
The film touches on a little-known aspect of recent history-women in professional baseball during World War II. Two sisters are torn by their love for each other and the fierce competition between them.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - No nudity. No sex. Women are given sexy uniforms and encouraged to play to the camera to win publicity for the team. One character talks about her sexual exploits. Some crotch scratching (within the context of baseball).
VIOLENCE/GORE 0 - No violence.
LANGUAGE 2 - Some four-letter words, especially in the dugout scenes.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - The coach is drunk often at the beginning of the film. There's some sexual innuendo and a very long comic scene of the coach relieving himself. Sexism and the stereotyping of women is a major focus.
MESSAGE - Women can play ball-or do anything else they want-as well as men. If you want something hard enough, and work at it you'll get it.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
