 A Good Look at The Limelight Atlanta April 13, 2002
Aron Siegel (Atlanta, GA USA)
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
While the story might be a bad excuse for an apology to Marsha Mason from Neil Simon, and the baseball scenes are incredibly inaccurate (Astros and Braves are wearing their home uniforms at the same time), this video affords the viewer a look at one of the best nightclubs ever seen. Limelight Atlanta was built in the old Harlequin Dinner Theatre and featured an extravagant light show valued some say at over a half million dollars. It's unfortunate the club is gone, but the footage inside the club is wonderful. Also filmed inside The Saint Atlanta which closed shortly after the movie was released theatrically...

 Not a baseball movie...But a definate 80s classic... April 11, 2007

The first time I saw this movie I was probably either 5 or 6. This movie, along with many other 80s movies (Breakfast Club, Terminator, Weird Science, etc.) has been one of those movies that has stuck with me almost my whole life...Of course it's not the greatest movie...I agree with a lot of reviewers about the cheesy music...But it was the 80s...However the story itself is really good...
Now one thing that got to me was that they didn't release a widescreen version of the film...Instead we get this lame a** fullscreen crap which is why I didn't buy it...But luckily man created DVD Recorders and they played this movie on tv in HD and widescreen and I'm recording it as we speak so now I can enjoy this classic the way it and all movies should be enjoyed in...widescreen...
Not A Baseball Movie January 6, 2005
Shawn A. Akers (Orlando, Fla)

For those of you renting this movie or watching it on HBO or whatever, and you're expecting this to be a baseball movie, of course you might be a bit disappointed. It's not realistic as a baseball movie, it's supposed to be a romantic comedy...the baseball player falls for a singer and marries her, only to smother her with too much love. At the end, they don't get back together, which is fitting, because the door is left open for that to happen. I've seen other reviews for this movie, and I'm sorry that you didn't like it, but I thought this was a very funny, very cute movie that happened to have some baseball elements in it. Give it a break.
Bats about .300 July 7, 2009

"I'm rotten, but I'm smart", one of the best lines uttered in this film. There are certainly some cheesey scenes and the baseball scenes themselves are not all that great, especially compared to a film like Major League. Someone else made mention of the 80's baseball film genre and that's pretty accurate. I had never heard of this film until I stumbled upon it recently at a used DVD place.
Randy Quaid is an added bonus. This is an interesting role for Michael O'Keefe, I keep picturing him as Danny in Caddyshack. I never pictured Danny setting the MLB single season homerun record. There is some bad acting in this film, some scenes are really forced. A true baseball fan will like the film. I liked the voices of the old TBS guys in some of the play calling. I also enjoyed the old Braves, Padres, Phillies and Astros uniforms. Baseball fans...add this one to the collection.
