Good Sport's Movie

Rating: 7/10 (16 April 2013)

This is a true story , based on the life of Jackie Robinson . Chadwick plays Jackie , a baseball player in the late 1940's, right after WWII . During that time period , there was still racial prejudice and segregation-Whites & Blacks were in separate baseball leagues and did not mix . Harrison/Branch Rickey plays the Brooklyn Dodgers' team executive that hired Chadwick to play for his all white team. FYI: Harrison is pretty unrecognizable in his role . Christopher/Leo Durocher plays the team manager and Nicole/Rachel is Chadwick's wife . I'm not a big sports fan but it was a good story and sports fans will probably like it more than I did . The title of the movie, 42, is the jersey number Jackie wore . It's rated "PG-13" for language-the N word is used a lot as well as other racist terms and has a running time of 2 hours & 8 minutes . It's not one that I would buy on DVD but it would make a good rental .
