Ok, one caveat thrown in with that. If you're a baseball fan. Otherwise, you might find it a bit boring, although Bull Durham is more of a comedy about a unlikely romantic triangle. The trio is Susan Sarandon as Annie Savoy, a 40ish community college English teacher whose main interests are classic literature, baseball, and sex-preferably with one of the young studs on the Durham Bulls, a Class A minor league team in the Carolina League. Tim Robbins is Nuke Laloosh, a brilliant young pitching prospect the major league team has sent down for seasoning, blessed with a million dollar arm and a ten cent brain. Kevin Costner is Crash Davis, a talented career catcher in the minors whose been sent to teach Nuke the ropes on and off the diamond. They both become infatuated with Annie although Crash has no desire, at this point in his life, to compete for the affections of a woman.
That's about it for the plot. It was written by Ron Shelton, a former minor league player who became a very successful screenwriter and director, this being his debut. It's very funny and earthy, filled with the realistic language of a locker room and also plenty of sex, something young ballplayer's are obsessed with. Naturally, we know Crash and Annie will end up together, but how they get there is the fun part, along with following the season of the Durham Bulls. Very humorous, many memorable one liners and a great soundtrack.
