2.5 stars out of 4, 2008-12-18
The Bottom Line: br / br /The late Bernie Mac is appealing but the movie is long-on-formula and short-on-laughs; it's really not worth seeking out unless you're a baseball nut.

The late lamented Bernie Mac plays Stan Ross, a Milwaukee Brewer who quits the team midseason after attaining his 3000th hit. Ross retires on the strength of his reputation, marketing himself shamelessly as "Mr. 3000." br / br /Years later, the stats gods discover that Stan is actually 3 hits short of the coveted goal, and the out-of-shape baseball jock returns to the game to hit just one more and one more and one more. Mac is perfectly cast in his role. br / br /This is a mildly funny, though entirely formulaic film that doesn't really leave much of an aftertaste, except for its probably unintended critique of how utterly mercenary the present-day game of baseball has become. MR. 3000 is worth watching every now and again just to get a die-hard fan's dander up on that account.

Mac hits a single, 2008-09-11
Bernie Mac plays Stan Ross, a by the books no one is better then me player. The beginning of the film is entertaining, the middle gets boring and cliched, and the ending was a surprise. Overall, I enjoyed this film. I really didnt laugh alot but it was watchable. Id recommend it to people who enjoy baseball films or comedys.

One-Time-Movie, 2008-04-19
Bernie Mac is a funny character, however the trailer of this movie was better than the actual movie itself, which is why i would refer to is as a "one-time-movie".

3.5 for this pleasant movie, 2006-09-20
What caught my attention for this movie, is thats it pictures a selfish br /man that only cares about himself and what happens when a situation changes things around. Its a baseball movie, but not all the movie is played on the field. br /I was surprised and did enjoy this film all the way the the ending credits. I recommend this movie if you like smart comedies and not the ones that goes over the edge.
