| ...yes, and absolutely loved it!!! Tommy Lee was AWESOME, talk about
becoming the role!!!! My wifve was so-so on it, saying it was too much
of a "guy" flick (whatever the hell that means!!!) I'd like to see
Jones take this one-man-show onto Broadway some day in the future, as
his acting WAS the picture!!! Great insight into a man that many know
nothing about, but who many still call the greatest baseball
player of all time....
Definite rental material for all who have not had the pleasure....

I agree, it's excellent. I have to wonder how fictionalized it is. Some
of the sequences, such as the one in Vegas, must be based on something
true to life. Although entertaining as hell, I think Tommy Lee overacts
in a lot of his parts. He HAD to overact in this one. A 70 year-old
alcoholic, morphine addict, who is impotent, with ulcers, a bad back,
and whatever else, just couldn't display the amount of energy and
anger Tommy Lee had Cobb displaying.
Pondering these points takes nothing from the entertainment value of
the movie. I liked it.
