"The Rookie" Great Movie

Just saw this movie today, 2 thumbs up 😉

Funny thing was someone in the theatre audience was "talking" to Jimmy all through the movie, words of encouragement, sharing in his sorrow, cheering at the games, etc. 🙂 No one seemed to mind it though, it was kind of strange.

<< Great all around movie for sports fans young and old. Great message too: Never Give Up. >>



Well kids, you tried your best and you failed... The lesson is: never try

LMAO! The Simpsons is such a great show. 😀

I'm glad more people liked this movie. Cause I had my doubts, but I'll probably see it now. I'll also be seeing SpiderMan soon. 😀
 
But you can takes kids to it of any age, a rareity in today's movie experience.

hmm... i saw the godfather and silence of the lambs when i was 5-7 😛

some other clean movies that everybody lies are all those cgi ones, like monsters, shrek, and ice age. i loved those movies and i'm a jaded teenager 🙂
 
After seeing "The Rookie" last night, I'll agree it was a great flick.

TheBlondOne is right, it's not quite a "Remember The Titans" but it was good.

Yeah and look what happened..


I'm KIDDING 😀 😀

just a joke, a ha-ha if you will.

 


<< Yet another baseball movie. 🙂 >>



A lot of people dismissed "Field of Dreams" as just a baseball movie. But it was really a tale of redemption... of getting a second chance in life (or afterlife) to set things straight. It was also a good Father's Day movie.

Yeah, it's a baseball film, but sometimes baseball films have other redeeming qualities.

Why is everyone wanting to see this movie? I personally thought it sucked. I saw it about a month ago (6 weeks maybe?) at a sneak preview and it was pretty bad. Cheesy, predictable, too "feel-good" of a movie to actually make you feel good. And OH MY GOD, the little kid constantly saying "BRING THE HEAT DAD!" really got on my nerves.

My stepmother I and both agreed we should have seen something else.

If it was just some off the shelf contrived story I would agree. But it is something that actually happened to someone that makes it a great movie. (not all the details were 100% accurate, but pretty darn close). Plus I was able to take my 4 year old baseball loving child and her 3 year old sister.

You've heard the old saying "childhood dreams become middle age regrets." This is an inspirational story showing that is not always true.
 
I hear what you are say but the movie didnt convey that to me effectively. I saw it as mired in ridiculously cheesy scenes catering to a younger audience. Perhaps it might be good to kids, I dont know. While I understand the message I dont think it was done the right way for an adult audience.
 
disney movie = mass marketing to the widest possible audience. Agreed that sometimes they have to throw the cheese in there to accomplish that.
