Beardless Brian Cox confuses me to no end. Also, Rick Gonzales was really typecast back in the day. Perhaps it all started with this film? I remember constantly seeing the poster at my theater prior to and once it was released. It was a movie that both intrigued me, but…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineFeb 10, 2023Quite possibly one of the most "fine" movies ever made. The acting is fine. The storytelling is fine. The execution of the message is fine. The cinematography, editing, and music are all fine. The directing is fine ... it's just fine. It maintains a pretty smooth pace until…
Lane Bynum Winn ✝️Aug 15, 2014Disney does like a good old fashioned sports story with a human interest angle.

reed 📽️Mar 13, 2020Sure it's a sappy Disney movie, sure Quaid was a good 10 years or more older than the real life Morris, but it's a great story and and there is a lot of baseball in this movie. It's not going to win many arguments for best baseball movie, but I like it.
Barry DaultonJun 8, 2021While "The Rookie" doesn't have a whole ton of surprises and is a bit too long, it's still a pretty enjoyable and heartwarming sports drama. It follows the exact same formula all Disney sports films tend to do but it honestly works quite well for this one and it's one of…

Me “why’s this movie diverse” Me “turns it on and sees the Disney logo” Me “oh that’s why” As most of you know I’m not a fan of Disney at all really & that’s because I find the majority of there movies have the “family friendly tone” and it’s just not for me I feel like…
horrorandgamerAug 29, 2024The funny thing about this film is it's an inspirational story of Jim Morris, a thirty five year high school teacher who's passed it maybe in the eyes of most but finds his way to brief but noteworthy career in major league baseball, and they cast Dennis Quaid to play him…

Starts off slow and boring. Probably could be a lot shorter of a movie, but once it got going in the middle then it was good.

Doesn't break any new ground in the baseball movie playbook. However, it does bring it all back home with the assurance of seasoned pro.

Austin Chronicle
The embodiment of the very message it so modestly conveys -- it's the accomplished little guy we fervently root for.
Rick Groen
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Eschews cliches and cuts to the truth.
