A League of Their Own: parents' guide

10+our pick

Best for ages 10 and up. Rated PG for language.

A funny, warm baseball comedy about the women's professional league of World War II, a good family pick for kids about 10 and up. The PG is mostly for language: the hard-drinking manager and several players swear, including s-words and 'goddamn.' The manager is often drunk or hungover, and a long scene of him urinating is played for laughs. There is mild sexual joking and players are seen in underwear while changing. One player learns by telegram that her husband was killed in the war, and the present-day ending notes that several characters have since died.

What's in it

Violence

Mild

Sports bumps and bruises, including a huge bruise from sliding into base, fans hit by stray balls, and sisters and teammates scuffling. A coach yells a lot. No one is seriously hurt.

Language

Moderate

Movieguide counted roughly 15 to 20 obscenities, including 's--t,' 'ass,' 'bitch' and 'goddamn,' plus a crude anatomical wisecrack about an umpire and insults like 'fatso.' No f-words were reported.

Sex and nudity

Mild

Kissing and close dancing at a roadhouse, players glimpsed in towels and slips while changing, and slang about sex and venereal disease. Men leer at the players, and some kiss or touch them without asking. No sex or nudity.

Drinking, drugs and smoking

Moderate

The team manager is an alcoholic who is often drunk or hungover and was fired for drunken behavior. Players drink at a bar, one gets visibly drunk, and cigarettes and cigars are common.

Scary or intense scenes

Mild

Little that is scary. The heaviest moment is a player learning her husband died in the war, and the ending reveals that some characters have passed away.

Sensitive topics

  • Addiction

Worth talking about

The players face sexism from fans, reporters and their own manager. Talk with your kids about what has changed for women in sports since the 1940s, and what hasn't.
