Baseball movie

My husbands favorite baseball movie. He had it before and he wore it out. So I got it on dvd June 8, 2008

The Rookie

The Ordering of the product was easy, and fast. The shipping of the product was very quick and timely. The movie arrived in good condition. The actual feature on a scale of 1 to 10 was a 9. It was a story I had seen many times on TV. I liked it so I purchased it. It is a great movie for the whole family or one individual. It is an all around good movie.
I give it 4.5 stars

The Rookie...

An excellent family movie. It doesn't get any better than this as far as family movies go. No foul language and NO nudity. It is a drama that is fun to watch as a family stuggles to deal with the father's sudden thrust into the limelight of an aged baseball player.

One man's dream of being in the major leagues comes true.... May 7, 2008

Soooooo slow, it's painful

Oh my God, if this movie was any slower, it'd take a month to watch. They went a little nutso with the musical score, too.

But what really irks me is why they used a Scot, Brian Denis, to play Morris' father. You might remember Denis as the milky-eyed uncle of William Wallace in Braveheart ("You've got the look of your mother." "learn to use this, it'll teach you to use this.")and as the alcoholic father of Daphne Moon in "Frasier." They couldn't find, out of 158 million American males, an American to play an Amercian in a baseball film, set, guess where, in American? I guess Chow Young Phat was too busy to accept the role. Why not have Charo play his American mom? Shame on Diznee. Muy malo pelicula. March 31, 2008

movie never received

Isn't it nice that Amazon wants a review of a product that was never received? When it was three days past the due date, I asked them to look into the shipment. They told me to wait. Well, I guess I'll have to buy movies from another source. Then I'll be able to review the movie I ordered a month ago - but is still with the USPS. March 25, 2008
