Product Description An all-star cast highlights this hilarious comedy about a bunch of die-hard baseball buffs. Stars Brad Garrett, Jeff Geddis, Matt Craven, Sarain Boylan, Stephen Markle, Wayne Knight - Director: Saul Rubinek. .com The Chicago Bruins baseball team is facing their hated St. Louis rivals, but the real drama is in the stands, where a die-hard group of fans (compassionate gambler Peter Reigert, hen-pecked hothead Wayne Knight, blind Matt Craven, jerk Brad Garrett, aspiring actress Sarain Boylan, and geek Hal Sparks) make outrageous bets and reveal their true colors between the balls and strikes. Any resemblance between the Bruins and the Chicago Cubs is not a coincidence. Bleacher Bums originated as a play (cowritten by Joe Mantegna and Dennis Franz) that paid affectionate homage to the perennial losers and the fans who stand by them. The use of glaringly fictitious team names is bush league (and makes a climactic reference to Ernie Banks incomprehensible). But teams that break their fans' hearts is not a Chicago phenomenon. This will be a hit with any long-suffering sports fan whose rallying cry is, "Just wait 'til tomorrow/next week/next year or--in the Cubs' case--next century." -- Donald Liebenson

The MLB Got This One Right
A foul-mouthed, salacious, well-cast, occasionally entertaining, slice-of-life look at some Chicago Cub (Bruins) fans. Although the ensemble acting is effective and the movie has some satisfying moments, the merits don't outweigh the liabilities for me. I would love to be a bleacher bum at Wrigley Field, but if I sat anywhere near this set of fans, it would diminish my enjoyment. These are the Bleacher Barbarians, and the movie's treatment of a mentally unbalanced fan and his menacing of a player is disturbing. I would love to watch a game with the two old guys in the scoreboard, but they are only in the film for a few moments. In short, the movie doesn't have enough to redeem its winking at antisocial behavior, including compulsive gambling, and the MLB was wise to withhold its approval. I would love to watch the Cubs, but the Bruins not so much.

well done
I saw a stage production in Chicago directed by Joe Mantegna with Dennis Farina and J J Johnston. The casting for this film equals the stage production. Matt Craven and Peter Riegert are favorites A thoroughly enjoyable realization of a labor of love authored by multiple Chicagoans.

If You Love Baseball ... this is for you!
If you're a Chicago Cubs fan ... this captures the experience. I saw the original play in Chicago and this film does it justice. Shame on Major League Baseball for not letting the producers use the Chicago Cubs name for the film adaptation. Great cast.

The Cubs
The movie is good but I wonder why the name change for the home team went from the Cubs to the Bruins? In the stage play the Cubs remain Cubs. The movie was filmed at Wrigley Field so the Cubs had to cooporate with the project.

The stands are part of the game too.
Great show for the baseball enthusiast. The stands are just as much a part of the game as the game is. Hal Sparks shines in this one.

Bleacher Bums
A very good adaptation of a stage play, with an outstanding cast. It has an mature perspective on the love of baseball and the compulsion of gambling. It is funny and serious at the same time. One of the finest examples of ensemble acting available on film.
