Editorial Review:
Amazon.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 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.

Bleacher Bums is a movie version of the famous Second City stage play which stars Wayne Knight(Seinfeld, Third Rock from the Sun), Brad Garrett(Everybody Loves Raymond, Til' Death) and Hal Sparks(Queer as Folk).

Now, due to legal and trademark issues, the film cannot use the Chicago Cubs name or logo, Wrigley Field, or Major League Baseball, and also, ... Read More

This movie is great combination of adult humor, love story and object lesson. You'll laugh till you cry at some scenes and may be tempted to cry at others. If you like relational movies, you have GOT to see 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.

Ignore the heckler in the stands below; this is a great film not just about baseball, or gambling, but about people and how they "win or lose." In this film, no one loses and the entire cast hits homeruns. I loved it.
Anyone know who did the great blues music featured in the film? I would love to have a CD of this as well!
