In 1995, arrogant baseball superstar Stan Ross (Bernie Mac) gets his 3000 hits and promptly quits. He builds a business empire based on his persona of Mr 3000. Nine years later, a clerical error is discovered and he's 3 hits short of the milestone. He doesn't get into the Hall of Fame. He has to return to the game with the Brewers but time has passed and he's not the same guy he once was. Maybe he can learn to be better.
Bernie Mac has a few funny moments as he tries to get back into shape. There is a little bit of heart as he learns his lessons. The guy needs some humanity at the beginning. The movie is a bit too simple. He needs a secondary story that is more than a second rate love story. The movie also needs to maximize Bernie Mac's edgy brand of comedy. It's not a bad movie. It's just not particularly any good.
