Mr. 3000 revolves around over-the-hill baseball star Stan Ross, who retired after making what he thought was his 3,000th base hit for the Milwaukee Brewers. Though he shocked his teammates by quitting in the middle of the game, certain that his Hall of Fame position was in the bag, complications arise when he discovers that three of his hits during his ten-year career had been disqualified. Known as Mr. 3000, the 47-year-old, out-of-shape ball player returns to the game intending to stay only as long as it takes to get the hits he needs, but something unexpected happens along the way - he rediscovers his love for the game, and begins to serve as a mentor to one of the younger players.
This is a complete waste of time. Bernie Mac is pretty funny in his sitcom, but this film is far from that type of entertainment. I don't think I laughed once, and for a comedy, that's not a good thing. It was very predictable and Bernie Mac's character even looked at the camera at one point and said, "Was that cheesy enough for you?" That's exactly what this movie was, very cheesy. The only good thing about it was the fact it had a positive message, but it wasn't enough to make it a good film.
Rating: 1.5 of 5 stars

I typically watch movies on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while riding the ACE Train from Tracy to Santa Clara. The opinions expressed are those of me, myself and I.
