Rated G sports movie starring Dennis Quaid

Rating: 6/10 (3 April 2002)

Dennis Quaid was ill-used in this movie. He's a good actor and does what he can in the role of Jimmy Morris, a 30 something teacher and baseball coach who becomes a rookie in the Majors, but the movie gives off a certain feeling of aloof that lingers from the first shot to the last. This could've been a really interesting sports movie and at times shows signs of what was on the drawing boards, and then it goes back to it's Disney, G rated pillow that makes this based on a true story fizzle whenever it should go further. Oh well, there's always Major League. Grade: C
