Mr. 3000

...Bernie Mac gives a funny and kind of touching performance as a man who attains greatness once and then has to do it again.

...the reason baseball seems to be the sport of choice for what I construe to be the slight majority of cinephiles is because it's the most distinctly narrative.

Mr. 3000 has moments: In a cinema environment that worships youth, it's nice to see Mac and Bassett, two forty somethings, as the center of a comedy.

...the character also really suits this king of comedy, emphasizing his gruff sense of humor, while also showing off some genuine acting chops as the self-centered Stan tries to change his life.
