Challengers for Dads.
Sean FennesseyMar 25, 2021Susan Sarandon is never not in charge. One of my favorite genres now is movies where you think she plays a supporting role but really dictates exactly what happens by everyone’s accounts. Lovely lady.
Ethan ColburnJul 14, 2017"You did not get lured. Women do not get lured. They are too strong and powerful for that." Susan Sarandon wearing high heels at the ballpark, suggesting that men fist fighting is latent homosexuality, and putting on "La Vie en Rose" before hooking up with Tim…

Has all the relaxed wit and charm of the best romcoms of this era that I went in expecting (the off-kilter love triangle at its center and focus on a specific professional/subcultural milieu certainly puts it up there with Broadcast News, anyway) but the bizarre blend of…

Bobby WagnerJul 1, 202490 Bull Durham is a special kind of romantic because Kevin Costner's character tosses off his third-act monologue to Susan Sarandon not even twenty minutes into the movie, and the tone doesn't solely function as a sexy swooning gesture (although it is also that) but rather…

- Brian Johnson lovedBull Durham
Both a rom-com and the best baseball movie ever made. Funny as hell and perfectly captures so much of a ballplayers life in the minor leagues. The scene with “Crash” Davis’ inner voice conversation is so realistic. Fantastic move start to finish.
James New likedBull DurhamKevin Costner’s other baseball film. Really clever idea which sets itself up well for some situational comedy. Costner and Susan Sarandon are both great, as is an understated Tim Robins

Noah Julian likedBull Durham8.1/10. Very good baseball movie, great acting. All took place in Durham NC so that’s cool too. And Susan Sarandon is extremely far from ugly too😅.
Mickerdoo likedBull DurhamSeems to have enough of the superstitions, foul language and sex that goes with baseball genre. Enjoyed Robbins’ dumb, young gun role.
Jdoghitz is "meh" onBull DurhamFor an 80s movie, Im sure it was great. But, after seeing other baseball movies, this one doesnt rank high for me. 4/10

Metacritic
Though his film is like no other baseball movie, it may remind you of Paul Newman's hockey comedy Slap Shot: a knowing look at sport's underbelly - punctuated by jelly-belly laughs. [15 June 1988]
Mike Clark
USA Today
It's just that when a movie is this close, with so much of the sports flavor (co-producer Thom Mount is co-owner of the real Durham Bulls), you like to see it perfect. [15 June 1988]
Sheila Benson
Los Angeles Times
The movie evokes Howard Hawks (in spirit if not to the letter) with its tight focus on a snug, obsessive world of insiders and camp followers where the exchanges between buddies and sexes have a euphoric stylishness and a giddy sense of ritual.
