Bull Durham is the story about a talented baseball rookie in a minor team and the veteran signed to teach him the game. There's little original about the story, and I doubt a lot of it was original back in 1988 as well. Tim Robbins and Kevin Costner plays the two male leads, while Susan Sarandon plays the female lead.
They've filled this one with cliches, and maybe that's what's needed when you make a movie set among the national sport of America. It still makes the experience worse for the rest of us. Costner was as usual not much to write home about, while the other two made better use of the little they had to work with. The story is somewhere between cliched, naive and non-existing. Take your pick.
