Surprisingly, I really enjoyed
The Rookie. It's one of those movies made for people, mostly Americans but Canadians will get it, who have had all their dreams smashed by the cruel hand of fate. Which is pretty much the entire human race. So it has broad appeal, despite being a baseball movie.
Jim Morris is
a real guy, and this movie is based on his life. And he does
motivational speaking.
And I'd already known that
Dennis Quaid could act, since I saw him in the amazing
Far From Heaven, and he was good in The Rookie, too.
