MCT:June 9, 2008A true story in which seems like it could only happen in the movies. It also explains why the Tampa Bay Devil Rays were so bad for so long.

I saw this in Spain. It actually made me cry a bit when he calls home from his away game and he's in the phone booth... and he talks to his son.

Based on a true story, this is a quite inspirational movie. Quaid is, as always, instantly likeable.

Fans of baseball and those who've played the game - hell, anyone who's ever looked back on life and said "If I had a second chance..." will like this movie.

Great script for a real-life plot. Many touching scenes and speeches. Although Quaid doesn't look like Morris, he certainly has the portrait of heart and soul of Morris.

i think that this is a good baseball movie like all sports i think its difficult to make a sports movie unless its based on a true story
and i think that dennis quad has a good performance and if only i could pitch that first
but what sets this movie aside from your average movie this is one of mainy few movies that have true feeling and meaning in the movie
and dream of fields and stomp the yard are two other examples
you watch this movie and you can see how much it means to jim morris to make it and how much he wants his dream
and i think we should watch this movie and learn never to give up on our dreams -

Walt Disney's "The Rookie" is based on the story of Jim Morris, a former minor league picher who made one of the most amazing comebacks in sports history, ending an almost 10 year retirement and making his Major League debut in 1999 at the age of 35.
Quaid is believable in playing Jim Morris because, unlike actors in the past in sports films, he knows how to throw a baseball. He looks like a pitcher, a guy who could fire it 90-plus miles per hour. There may be nothing much new in it for adults, but `The Rookie' has the skill to make what was old seem somehow new again. Not unlike what happens to the hero himself in fact. -

Once again, this movie is so good. I would change a few things about it, but this is a very good movie how it is. I watched it when I was about 7 or 8 and loved it, and I still do.

I loved this film----a true family film through and through. It is enjoyable for adults of any age...not only kids. I love Quaid in this...well...I love Quaid period!

MCT:July 20, 2007I really liked this Disney Movie, about an middle aged High School Baseball Coach who finally makes it to the Big League's.
This is every man's (Baseball Fan's) dream after his 40th Birthday, to demonstrate he has the stuff and that he belongs out there with these younger professional's.
Dennis Quaid played this part more with heart and guts then with talent.
This is a must see for all men who have unforfilled dream's. -

This family film was actually enjoyable for me - an adult. Most 'family' films fail to be watchable for everyone in a family.

MCT:July 4, 2007
I loved this movie because it features my favorite team (The Devil Rays) and its not too bad. Rather imspiring. Some of the stuff is just corny. The stupid MPH reader that decides to not light 2 bulbs up is just so Disney, and so dumb. Otherwise, good stuff!

Completely predictable, but thoroughly enjoyable, with Dennis Quaid knocking it out of the park... literally and in terms of his performance.
