Product Description:
When a young power-hitting baseball player falls in love with a beautiful rock singer it seems like the perfect combination of two of America's favorite pastimes... or is it? Michael O'Keefe stars as Darryl Porter an outfielder for the Atlanta Braves whose career is altered radically for the better when rock singer Debby Palmer (Rebecca De Mornay) enters his life and inspires him to greatness. But all is not rosy as Debby finds that the more time she spends as "the slugger's wife" the more she misses her other true love - her music. Debby torn between her love for Darryl and her career decides to return to the stage. Her decision causes Darryl to fall into a batting slump that threatens the Braves' change at winning the pennant and also threatens their marriage.System Requirements:Run Time: 104 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: PG-13 UPC: 043396103351 Manufacturer No: 10335

"I'm rotten, but I'm smart", one of the best lines uttered in this film. There are certainly some cheesey scenes and the baseball scenes themselves are not all that great, especially compared to a film like Major League. Someone else made mention of the 80's baseball film genre and that's pretty accurate. I had never heard of this film until I stumbled upon it recently at a used DVD place.
Randy Quaid is an added bonus. This is an interesting role for Michael O'Keefe, I keep picturing ... Read More

These days, 80's movies are much-maligned. And watching movies like The Slugger's Wife, you gotta admit, a lot of stuff from back then is hard to watch. But I think this one holds up reasonably well. Movies based on Neil Simon plays were popular in the seventies, but were a bit hit-and-miss by 1985 (see also: Brighton Beach Memoirs, Biloxi Blues). Anyway, the prime reason to catch this one--or at least it was the prime reason some two decades ago--is Rebecca DeMornay. Although it would be a stretch ... Read More

The first time I saw this movie I was probably either 5 or 6. This movie, along with many other 80s movies (Breakfast Club, Terminator, Weird Science, etc.) has been one of those movies that has stuck with me almost my whole life...Of course it's not the greatest movie...I agree with a lot of reviewers about the cheesy music...But it was the 80s...However the story itself is really good...
Now one thing that got to me was that they didn't release a widescreen version of the film...Instead we get this ... Read More

For those of you renting this movie or watching it on HBO or whatever, and you're expecting this to be a baseball movie, of course you might be a bit disappointed. It's not realistic as a baseball movie, it's supposed to be a romantic comedy...the baseball player falls for a singer and marries her, only to smother her with too much love. At the end, they don't get back together, which is fitting, because the door is left open for that to happen. I've seen other reviews for this movie, and I'm sorry that you ... Read More
