The wonderful John Goodman shines as Babe Ruth,I had this on VHS tape and was happy to find it available on DVD,there are also two very old shorts starring the original Babe Ruth"Slide,Babe,Slide" and "Just Pals" as bonus material(NOTE that these shorts are very old and the quality is VERY rough,hence there are jumps in the film,sound problems here and there,scratches etc,but thats part of there charm of these old newsreel shorts,there antiques lucky to be surviving at all!) as well as the original ...

Rating:  - I don't like sports, but.......
I don't like sports, but this movie, has an actual story beside sports. I loved it, and the actors were great. I love anything to do with Babe Ruth now.
Rating: - HIT BIG/MISS BIG.... THATS HOW HE DID!
Babe Ruth was the original rock star. The man who's name became synonomis with $$$ right from the start, and the fast paced, take no B.S. lifestyle. He was one of the coolest cats around, and this movie shows it all!
Alot of people say that the story is innacurate, and to that I say "AW Banana oil!" This movie is the tops. There's only one other movie about the Babe, and that one had him stepping into a dark dingy bar and ordering a milk! Babe Ruth didn't drink no milk. John Goodmans portrayal, ... Read More
Rating: - Well Done!
The Babe is a great baseball movie with a few flaws, mostly in the embellishment of the true facts, but it's miles better than the 1948 movie with William Bendix as the Babe. John Goodman gives his all as he portrays Babe Ruth, a man who enjoyed life a little too much. Other strong performances are given by Kelly McGillis, James Cromwell & Bruce Boxleitner. I recommend this film.
Rating: - Well done
John Goodman's role is so realistic that I thought I was seeing the Babe many times! He is outstanding in his role as Babe Ruth. Hollywoood liberties, sure ...... but an excellent story and a look at an Baseball hero ........... A must for baseball fans.
