One of the top 3 sports movies - ever!

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2002)

First of all, Dennis Quaid deserves an Oscar nomination for this, hands down! In his past roles, he's played kind of a cocky, arrogant guy who you kind of love, but here he plays a REAL HUMAN BEING you simply adore! Best performance of his life! The movie is excellent in all aspects of the "game." While a 2 hour 20 minute running time can be long for some films, this one just carries you along effortlessly. Don't fall for any review of this film that may say it is predictable. Of course it is! It's a true story you may know of already. The guy's dream comes true. He makes it to the major leagues! The key is HOW he does it and what it takes to get there. All I can say is: ENJOY!
