Excellent movie

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2005)

It's hard to believe this is a Disney movie. It's one of the rare movies that Disney makes that has a Mother and Father together in one movie. It's one that the whole family will enjoy, whether your a fan of baseball or not and an inspiration to never let go of your dreams.
The movie is based on the book by Jimmy Morris and Joel Engel "The Oldest Rookie: Big-League Dreams from a Small Town Guy". Although Dennis Quaid is older than the 35 year old Jimmy Morris he portrays, he does an excellent job of giving you the sense of emotions that Jim Morris has experienced over time. This movie also has a wonderful supporting cast of unknowns which makes the movie even more believable. It's too bad that Hollywood doesn't make more of these types of movies. Ones that have a believable story or plot without all the sexual affairs, car crashes and explosions.
