CRITICS OF "The Rookie"

rec.arts.movies.reviews

Slow moving, even pedestrian at times, yet this Dennis Quaid vehicle strikes a lot of genuinely heartwarming moments along the way.

January 22, 2013

Resource

Associated Press

Morris ultimately lasted two partial seasons in the majors, and the film's rendering of his minor-league struggle is so enjoyable you want to see more of that and less of the everyday life preceding it.

May 12, 2014

Resource

IGN Movies

Refreshing and compelling.

May 12, 2014

Resource

Variety

Deftly constructed to stoke the baseball-phenom fantasies of coulda-shoulda-woulda middle-aged guys and fields-of-dreaming young diamond studs.

February 23, 2012

Total Film

The Rookie is shot through with star-spangled sentiment, but its light touch and "true story" origins combine to make it feelgood fun even for schmaltz-phobic Brits.

March 12, 2013

Resource

Radio Times

This entry in the genre is a true story that is, sadly, hampered by some signposted plot developments and undernourished characters.

Earnest, uplifting baseball melodrama

July 14, 2011

Wall Street Journal

Until The Rookie came along, I'd forgotten how good and smart a family film can be.

March 12, 2013

Resource

New York Daily News

At two-plus hours, The Rookie is a good 20 minutes too long, but for father-son teams waiting eagerly for the umpire's "Play ball!", it's an uplifting season opener.

May 12, 2014

Resource

AV Club

Though Hancock traffics in a lot of bogus small-town sentiment, The Rookie exhibits a refreshingly honest understanding of baseball as a job, with long road trips away from home and a workmanlike routine.

May 12, 2014

Resource

New Yorker

It's Quaid and his fellow actors, Rachel Griffiths and Brian Cox, who lift the film out of its intermittent doldrums, and together they deliver that rare thing: a nuanced sports movie.
