What's it like?
I am one of those stuffy people who doesn't like watching explicit content in their movies, is there any profanity, sexuallity/nudity, or excessive violence in this film?
Thanks.
If i remember rightly i do not think there is any profanities in this movie maybe a few guys hugging women or suggesting these women have big breast but it think that happens once in the movie.
This is a great movie and you should enjoy it.
If you can't be a good example you'll have to be a terrible warning
Actually, there is quite a bit of profanity, mostly from Mantle. It's not gratuitous, however, and from what I understand it's pretty true to the real-life figure. Expect mostly very loose locker room type of talk, a few f-words here and there, some sexually-themed bragging etc. Although the movie details some of Mantle's extracurricular drinking and womanizing, there's no nudity. All in all, the movie is very accurate to the period, both in look and language.
shareyea def. some profanity but if it can be done in a respectable manner Billy Crystal pulled it off. Great baseball movie one of the best I have seen

Also important to remember: Billy Crystal knew Mantle quite well, so some of the lines of the movie, even the profane ones, come directly from things Mantle said directly to him. This connection certainly helps with the authenticity.
shareYou can't make a true-to-life sports movie, with scenes in a locker room, and not include some profanity. I mean, how believable would it be to have a bunch of ballplayers sitting around saying, "Gosh, I'll be jiggered if that darn pitcher wasn't throwing cocky-doodie spitballs out there!"
I'm no fan of gratuitous profanity, but neither am I a fan of stilted dialogue that can't be made to sound genuine no matter who says it.
