Milwaukee Brewers player Stan Ross (Bernie Mac) angers his teammates by retiring during a 1995 playoff game after making the 3,000th base hit required to enter the Baseball Hall of Fame. Nine years later, a clerical error is discovered, invalidating three of the hits and keeping Ross from the ultimate baseball honor. The 47-year-old player convinces the Brewers to let him rejoin the team to make his last three hits, and sheds his selfish nature as he rediscovers his love of the game.

Bruce Diones The New Yorker May 12, 2014
This fuzzy baseball story about a conceited player (Bernie Mac) who comes out of retirement to fix his record (he's three hits short of the magic three thousand) is a major letdown. Go to Full Review Christy Lemire Associated Press May 12, 2014
Bernie Mac plays a baseball-star version of his corrosive TV-show persona in Mr. 3000, a comedy that's essentially an extended ad for ESPN. Ironically, though, the insertion of real-life media provides the film's few laughs. Go to Full Review Adam Nayman eye WEEKLY Mar 21, 2011

This weeks discount dandy is Mr. 3000, an amiable comedy that features a nice turn by Bernie Mac that allows it to overcome its obvious formulaic shortcomings. Go to Full Review Sloan Freer Radio Times May 12, 2014

See more thiago s @Thiagostone Feb 6, 2026 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more John Z. @homesimpson Jan 14, 2026 Bernie Mac made a lousy baseball player that was arrogant and cocky See more Ed R @JustcallmeER Jun 27, 2025 A great story of a former MLB superstar that came back to collect 3,000 hits and learn to control his ego. See more Mar 21, 2021 A great concept on paper, and quite a few moments that deliver. Mac has the right attitude for the character but his physics in the game are inaccurate and hard to believe for baseball fans.
