From the studio that brought you REMEMBER THE TITANS comes an inspirational film based on a true story. Jim Morris (Dennis Quaid), father, teacher, and high school coach, thought his dream was over. He'd had his shot playing baseball, blew out his shoulder, and retired without ever making it to the big leagues. Then, in 1999, Coach Morris made a fateful bet with his perpetually losing team. If they won the district championship, Morris -- who threw a 98 mph fastball -- would try out for the majors. The team went from worst to first, and Jim, living up to his end of the bargain, threw caution to the wind and was on the road to becoming the oldest rookie in the major leagues. This heartfelt, uplifting story about not giving up on your dreams will have everyone cheering.

great movie and truley insperational to any sports coach or athlete.
Very good movie and this movie shows every athlete that it's about the right coach to fix a losing team. they are very tough to find but if you get the right coach in the right situation you could turn any team around.

The Rookie
The Ordering of the product was easy, and fast. The shipping of the product was very quick and timely. The movie arrived in good condition. The actual feature on a scale of 1 to 10 was a 9. It was a story I had seen many times on TV. I liked it so I purchased it. It is a great movie for the whole family or one individual. It is an all around good movie.
I give it 4.5 stars

The Rookie...
An excellent family movie. It doesn't get any better than this as far as family movies go. No foul language and NO nudity. It is a drama that is fun to watch as a family stuggles to deal with the father's sudden thrust into the limelight of an aged baseball player.

One man's dream of being in the major leagues comes true....
