"Billy, this ain't your day," so said Detroit Tiger catcher Gus Sinski, played by John C. Reilly, to his pitcher Billy Chapel, played by Kevin Costner, in the visitors dressing room of Yankee Stadium while getting ready to play the last game of a losing season. Billy has just been informed by the team owner that he has sold it to a corporate group who intend to trade Billy to the New York Giants. To add to his problems his long time girlfriend Jane Aubrey, played by the beautiful Kelly Preston, told him she is breaking up with him and is taking a job in London.
Billy is devastated by these events but takes the field to play what may be his last game. In spite of a sore shoulder he throws the ball harder than usual and reminisces about events leading up to this day. In flashbacks we see him meeting Jane as he stops to offer help when her car breaks down, and the growth of their relationship through the next five years.
This movie has something for everyone. It is a great baseball story as well as the story of a great love. I give it a 10/10 and highly recommend it for all audiences.

Anyone who doesn't laugh all through this movie has been embalmed. I have watched it at least twenty times and I still get tears in my eyes at many of the scenes. Sally Field is absolutely perfect as Celest Talbert, a fading soap star whose supporting cast is trying to get her replaced in hopes that their own star will rise. Fields, at 45, still has that wonderful and beautiful pixie quality and a perfect figure that belies her having had three children. I'm biased, I'm in love with her.
The cast of "Soapdish" is filled with stars who perform their roles to perfection. Kevin Kline is flawless, as are Robert Downey Jr., an ingénue Elizabeth Shue, Whoopi Goldberg, Teri Hatcher in one of her early roles, Carrie Fisher as the oversexed casting director who auditions an actor for a small part as a waiter without his shirt on. Kathy Najimy is wonderful as the hapless costume designer, and best of all, Cathy Moriarty as Nurse Nan who leads the plot to get Fields character removed from the show is hilarious.
This movie should have won Oscars for best comedy, best leading lady in a comedy, best leading man in a comedy and myriad other bests, including writing, directing and supporting actors and actresses. Get the DVD so you can watch it over and over for the next twenty five years. You will still be laughing at it when the disc wears out.
