VHS Movie Reviews of Babe

Movie Review: The Babe is now on DVD with a few extra goodies as well!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

The wonderful John Goodman shines as Babe Ruth,I had this on VHS tape and was happy to find it available on DVD,there are also two very old shorts starring the original Babe Ruth"Slide,Babe,Slide" and "Just Pals" as bonus material(NOTE that these shorts are very old and the quality is VERY rough,hence there are jumps in the film,sound problems here and there,scratches etc,but thats part of there charm of these old newsreel shorts,there antiques lucky to be surviving at all!) as well as the original trailer for the film!!! If you like this film and have the old tape,then this is a nice affordable upgrade,the picture and sound is better than the tape!!! A+

Movie Review: I don't like sports, but.......
Summary: 4 Stars

I don't like sports, but this movie, has an actual story beside sports. I loved it, and the actors were great. I love anything to do with Babe Ruth now.

Movie Review: HIT BIG/MISS BIG.... THATS HOW HE DID!
Summary: 5 Stars

Babe Ruth was the original rock star. The man who's name became synonomis with $$$ right from the start, and the fast paced, take no B.S. lifestyle. He was one of the coolest cats around, and this movie shows it all!
Alot of people say that the story is innacurate, and to that I say "AW Banana oil!" This movie is the tops. There's only one other movie about the Babe, and that one had him stepping into a dark dingy bar and ordering a milk! Babe Ruth didn't drink no milk. John Goodmans portrayal, if not completely accurate, is at least a lot of fun, and from what I know (I never met the guy in person-did you?) is pretty spot on.
The Babe partied every night of the week, and usually strolled into the game sometime around the second inning to sock one out of the park. He'd smoke a few cigars in the dugout, and usually had a mug of beer waiting for him at home plate. Nobody told The Babe what to do, because he owned. The guy pretty much paid everybodys salary in the day, and is still pretty much the reason why those jerk off Yankees still have so much dough.
He was an animal on and off the field. Just ask the dames that hung all over him. He had two smoking wives.. one a small town waitress, and the other a sexy Zigfield follie (aint that the dream?)
Yeah he had to overcome some serious struggles in life, but don't we all? The guy exuberated a good time, for the folks, and especially the kids, for whom he had the biggest heart in the world... And he told fart jokes at fancy dinners!

Great lines...
"What do you think of Mary for a name if we have a girl?"
"I think I need a 20 ounce steak, is what I think."

This movie rules. Check it out.

Movie Review: Well Done!
Summary: 4 Stars

The Babe is a great baseball movie with a few flaws, mostly in the embellishment of the true facts, but it's miles better than the 1948 movie with William Bendix as the Babe. John Goodman gives his all as he portrays Babe Ruth, a man who enjoyed life a little too much. Other strong performances are given by Kelly McGillis, James Cromwell & Bruce Boxleitner. I recommend this film.

Movie Review: Well done
Summary: 4 Stars

John Goodman's role is so realistic that I thought I was seeing the Babe many times! He is outstanding in his role as Babe Ruth. Hollywoood liberties, sure ...... but an excellent story and a look at an Baseball hero ........... A must for baseball fans.
