Watch: Bull Durham 1988 123movies, Full Movie Online – It’s the start of the minor league baseball season, and Annie Savoy, for who baseball is *the* religion, is going through the annual process of choosing the one player on her home team of the Durham Bulls of the Carolina League, he who she will take under her wings, sexual and otherwise, solely for the season, and who has always gone on to have his best year as a player. She has narrowed her choice to two recent acquires: Ebby Calvin LaLoosh, the wild neophyte pitcher with a wicked fastball – the pitch on which he solely relies – but can’t aim, the more he thinks about it, the more erratic the pitch gets, while he doesn’t appreciate anyone criticizing him or it in believing he knows best in his lack of self-awareness; and catcher Crash Davis, the veteran who has been around the minor leagues for twelve years and who was brought in solely to harness and reign in Ebby’s power. While Ebby would gladly accept Annie’s offer in seeing sex as an inherent part of his being, Crash, who is as philosophical in being a thinker as he is athletic, takes himself out of the running – the first player ever to do so – as, although attracted to her, does not see sex as the “game” she seems to treat it, especially as he knows he is nearing the end of his baseball playing career. Part of Annie’s initial transformation of Ebby is to give him that nickname he sorely wants – Nuke – to match his pitches. Thus begins Annie, Crash and Nuke’s three-way season-long relationship as they evolve because of it as baseball, sexual and human beings..
Plot: Veteran catcher Crash Davis is brought to the minor league Durham Bulls to help their up and coming pitching prospect, “Nuke” Laloosh. Their relationship gets off to a rocky start and is further complicated when baseball groupie Annie Savoy sets her sights on the two men.

Reviews:

Well acted by the trio of stars.
“Bull Durham” is one of those engaging sports films that can be enjoyed no matter if one isn’t a fan of the sport in question – in this case, baseball. There’s all the love in the world for this great American pastime, but there’s also some interesting and literate discussions going on all the time in this smart and witty comedy, as well as some memorable characters whom we like and find easy to watch.

Kevin Costner plays “Crash” Davis, a veteran minor league catcher who’s hired by the Durham Bulls to act as a mentor to their new pitcher Ebby LaLoosh (Tim Robbins). Ebby is in need of some direction, as he may be truly talented but has ego and discipline problems. At the same time, sexy Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon), the Bulls’ loyal groupie, takes an interest in Ebby as she makes a habit of hooking up with one young player every season and helping the man to mature. Naturally, some sparks fly as the two guys both get attracted to Annie.

Writer / director Ron Shelton truly knows the territory, having been a minor league baseball player himself, although he doesn’t in truth feature a lot of game action. His dialogue is often very funny and often very profane. A lot of humour comes from Annies’ manipulation of the naive Ebby, whom she nicknames “Nuke” and has him do things like wear a garter, thinking this will improve his game. And while the film does get serious at times, it never becomes too maudlin. As was said previously, the attraction comes from watching three intriguing characters and three fine performances. With fine support by Trey Wilson and Robert Wuhl, Costner, Sarandon, and Robbins make the most of the material. There’s also some endearing goofiness from the real-life “Clown Prince of Baseball”, a man named Max Patkin. And to top it all off, there are some very sexy scenes in this thing, especially towards the end. All in all, this likable story has a little something for everybody, and is well worth a viewing.

Eight out of 10.
