A Disney movie thats worth seeing.

Rating: Null/10 (4 April 2002)

OK let me say first off I'm not a real fan of Disney and the movies that they have turned out over the last few years. I consider almost all there (newer)movies a bunch of worthless crap marketed for Toys-Are-UsÂ™. Or a rehash of a classic that should have never been made (Lady and the Tramp 2, 102 dalmations, 101 dalmations, Cinderella 2, and so on....you get the idea)Then when they do a movie thats not animated its so lame that you wanna throw your JuJu beans at the screen and wake your kids up and go home. But oddly enough there is something different here, Its based on a true story and the story line and characters are convincing, pretty fresh faces here too, which adds to the convincing effect of the movie. It puts a new depth to baseball without all the bad language, and other crap we see in a baseball movie. Dennis Quaid's performance is awsome and makes the character believeable. If it wasn't for his performance, I would have probably fallen asleep because sadly enough the first 1/2 hour is dull and somewhat confusing, maybe it was the intro storyline??? But still once you see it, its a movie worth the price of admission.
