      Bruce Diones New Yorker This fuzzy baseball story about a conceited player (Bernie Mac) who comes out of retirement to fix his record (he's three hits short of the magic three thousand) is a major letdown. May 12, 2014 Full Review Christy Lemire Associated Press Bernie Mac plays a baseball-star version of his corrosive TV-show persona in Mr. 3000, a comedy that's essentially an extended ad for ESPN. Ironically, though, the insertion of real-life media provides the film's few laughs. May 12, 2014 Full Review Adam Nayman eye WEEKLY This feature-length commercial for Major League Baseball covers all the cross-marketing bases. Rated: 2/5 Mar 21, 2011 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News This weeks discount dandy is Mr. 3000, an amiable comedy that features a nice turn by Bernie Mac that allows it to overcome its obvious formulaic shortcomings. Nov 16, 2019 Full Review Sloan Freer Radio Times An arrogant former sportsman learns a lesson in humility in this predictable comedy. Rated: 2/5 May 12, 2014 Full Review Dennis King Tulsa World Mac's rascally charm and deceptive gravity give promise of more substance than the movie finally delivers.

      Huge Chrome P Like the titular character Mr. 3000 comes short but the movie does pack a lot of heart and that sports movie magic that tingles the heartstrings. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Dumb and beyond; need I say more? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Andrew A It's not special, but I like it well enough. Bernie Mac is fun. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/21 Full Review Audience Member A great concept on paper, and quite a few moments that deliver. Mac has the right attitude for the character but his physics in the game are inaccurate and hard to believe for baseball fans. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review steve d There isn't a lot to like here, besides the ever enjoyable Bernie Mac. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Bernie Mac is in his best shape as an aging baseball player who needs one more homer to retire on his laurels; then a counting error sets him back. Angela Bassett does a fiery turn as an old flame and sports journalist, Paul Sorvino has one hilarious scene as the manager, and Chris Noth is a throwaway shark. But the best parts of this movie are the warm and funny scenes between Mac and Michael Rispoli. This predictable flick isn't Bull Durham, but it's infinitely watchable. Recommended. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
