Excellent!

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2002)

This movie has to be the greatest movie of 2002 up to date. This movie was absolutely wonderful. Sure it's a Disney movie but this one is great. Dennis Quaid portrays Jim Morris, a High School science teacher and the coach of the school baseball team whose dream since he was a kid was to be a professional baseball player. His team makes a bet with him that if they win the district, he tries out for Major League Baseball. He agrees to the bet and the rest of the movie is history. If you know the true life story of Jimmy Morris than you would probably know what happens during the movie. I won't spoil it for you by telling you what happens.
The performances were extremely well. Dennis quaid is the heart of the story. Every time he is in it is absolutely great. Rachel Griffiths, who portrays Lorri Morris, is also very good. Angus T. Jones plays Jim and Lorri's son, Hunter. His performance was good enough and I think he is supposed to be a comic relief. He made smile a few times. Brian Cox and Beth Grant are very well and I enjoyed them through the entire movie. The actors who play Jim Morris's baseball team, such as Jay Hernandez and Rick Gonzalez, are cool and probably the best actors to portray the players. Trevor Morgan is good playing young Jim Morris but he wasn't onscreen long enough to show Jim's childhood.
Overall this movie is good for the entire family and anyone who knows the story of Jim Morris or is a fan of baseball, I definitely suggest this movie. Rating 10 out of 10.
