Being a baseball fan involves repeatedly experiencing exquisite pain and exquisite joy. Well, there's a lot of both in The Natural.

An otherwise fine sports fantasy is dragged down by an overindulgence in sentimentality.

Levinson must have felt he had to swing for the fences. He can be forgiven for choking up with all The Natural's fans looking on dubiously. In fairness, the official scorer must credit him with a single. And Redford with an RBI.

The Natural has everything going for it--directing, acting, cinematography, and especially Randy Newman's iconic score.
