Rating: 2.5/4 --
Thanks to Goodman and the great Ruth mystique, The Babe does maintain a median level of entertainment. But somehow you want a movie about a fellow this big-natured and mythic to hit a home run. What we have here is more of a solid base hit.

Seattle Times
An honestly unheroic view of a hero, with a grand-slam performance by John Goodman.

TIME Magazine
...Intelligent, well-intentioned, highly professional in all areas....Goodman is perfect for this role...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Hiller and Wexler compliment Goodman's performance by visually conveying the underside of the baseball milieu, depicting the behind-the-scenes machinations with the dark-toned glow of the Inferno.

TV Guide
...Goodman does a nifty impersonation of Ruth....The movie is a crowd pleaser in the best sense, a giddy celebration of the man who gave baseball its magic...
Entertainment Weekly
Goodman should have been perfect for the title role: like Ruth, he's a regular Joe of hugely irregular proportions in appetite and accomplishment. Too bad Hiller and Fusco cut him down to size.
New Yorker
Rating: 3/4 --
It's a movie with a heart as big as the Babe's and a story line as untidy as his eating binges.
