Product Description

Bernie Mac is perfectly cast in Mr. 3000, a feel-good baseball comedy that capitalizes on Mac's established comedy persona. He plays Stan Ross, veteran first-baseman for the struggling Milwaukee Brewers, who quit the team during a pennant race and, nine years later, discovers that he's actually three hits short of his 3,000 career-hit claim to fame. When he attempts a comeback to correct his record, his selfish past returns to haunt him, along with a former flame (Angela Bassett, who deserves better roles) who's covering Stan's return to baseball for ESPN. It's strictly formula, but the comedy is consistently entertaining, and director Charles Stone III proves that his 2002 sleeper hit Drumline was no fluke, injecting observant details into a very predictable plotline. Easily recommended, Mr. 3000 makes a good double-header with 1989's hit baseball comedy Major League. --Jeff Shannon

Mr. 2,997 October 4, 2008
J. H. Minde (Boca Raton, Florida and Brooklyn, New York)
The late lamented Bernie Mac plays Stan Ross, a Milwaukee Brewer who quits the team midseason after attaining his 3000th hit. Ross retires on the strength of his reputation, marketing himself shamelessly as "Mr. 3000."
Years later, the stats gods discover that Stan is actually 3 hits short of the coveted goal, and the out-of-shape baseball jock returns to the game to hit just one more and one more and one more. Mac is perfectly cast in his role.
This is a mildly funny, though entirely formulaic film that doesn't really leave much of an aftertaste, except for its probably unintended critique of how utterly mercenary the present-day game of baseball has become. MR. 3000 is worth watching every now and again just to get a die-hard fan's dander up on that account.
Mac hits a single September 11, 2008
A. Pierre (Somewheres)
Bernie Mac plays Stan Ross, a by the books no one is better then me player. The beginning of the film is entertaining, the middle gets boring and cliched, and the ending was a surprise. Overall, I enjoyed this film. I really didnt laugh alot but it was watchable. Id recommend it to people who enjoy baseball films or comedys.
 One-Time-Movie April 19, 2008
Masoud Mohd Jr. (UAE)
Bernie Mac is a funny character, however the trailer of this movie was better than the actual movie itself, which is why i would refer to is as a "one-time-movie".
3.5 for this pleasant movie September 20, 2006
Andre Villemaire (Canada)
What caught my attention for this movie, is thats it pictures a selfish
man that only cares about himself and what happens when a situation changes things around. Its a baseball movie, but not all the movie is played on the field.
I was surprised and did enjoy this film all the way the the ending credits. I recommend this movie if you like smart comedies and not the ones that goes over the edge.
Bernie Mac Is The Saving Grace To What Could Be A Bad Movie July 14, 2006
GameraRocks (Gillsville, GA USA)
Mr. 3000 is a decent film about a washed up baseball player who needs to prove himself again when he discovers he isn't "Mr. 3000" as he thought he was. The story drags in places but overall isn't that bad. If you come into this film with low expectation, you won't feel so disappointed by the end. I'm not saying that this movie is the worst thing ever. I actually thought it was pretty good, but it just doesn't make for a great movie. Luckily, I wasn't expecting an Oscar winning blockbuster film when I started to watch. Once again, the acting and everything is good, the story is just something that has been seen many times in much better films in the past.
