Great movie for Kids, kinda predictable though

Rating: 5/10 (28 June 2002)

This movie has some great actors, especially Quaid who is to thank for the most this movie offers. It mostly offers a nice (true) story about the dream of a guy, who wanted to play Baseball and the way he gets to.
Nevertheless it is really predictable. When you've seen the first, lets say 10 minutes, you can tell the rest of the the movie. Since it it based on a true story they were bound to the real events, but it is a movie for kids no matter how you look at it. And for kids it is great!
There is another point: This movie shows you a World where everything works out, nothing goes wrong, nothing fails. It's a Safe place, and that's what (at least some) movies should be: A safe place you can run to when your own world isn't that whole anymore...
