If you are looking for a family movie with some action and sports (baseball), then The Rookie is a great choice. Inspired by a true story, it is a great story about going after your dreams no matter what your age. I think one of the things I love most about this movie is the way the movie stresses having a good, strong support system around you throughout your life. It is a good balance between sports action scenes (for the guys) and emotional/feel-good scenes (for the gals). The acting is pretty good for a family-focuses movie and the baseball is authentic. We kept coming across this movie on TV and found ourselves watching it almost every time. I said enough of this, let's just get the movie so we can watch it whenever we want. So we did. You will not be disappointed.
This is a spectacular production. Great storyline. Great acting. Great father/son relationship. Very glad I happened upon this film.

This entertaining and touching story shows how dreams, even really big ones, sometimes come true. A caring husband and father in his thirties may have the chance to follow his dream of pitching for major league baseball--if the highschool baseball team he coaches can pull it together and win the district championship. Wonderful acting and lots of laughs!! Great for the entire family.
We love the fact that this is a true story and that real life was so closely followed, except for the part where Jim gave the base- ball to his Dad. He really gave it to his son. No bad language or nudity. The DVD is in great shape and the service was also great. We were happy with the low price and will order from here again without hesitation.
Great entertainment for the whole family.
