Movie Reviews

The New York Times - 9/10 by Stephen HoldenScene by scene, The Rookie does a better job of capturing the rhythms and rituals of the playing field and the electricity that flows between a team and its fans than well-regarded baseball films like "Field of Dreams" and "The Natural."
Washington Post - 9/10 by Ann HornadayA rarity to be cheered: a smart, engaging family film that stands firmly in the best of the Disney tradition.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Desson ThomsonThe Rookie is like one of those maddening, waking dreams when you spend the whole night thrashing in bed while tediously repetitive images batter your racing brain. But at least morning comes. This movie, directed by Eastwood, never ends.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Jay CarrIt's not afraid to play cornball when it isn't playing baseball, but The Rookie gets away with it.
Salon - 8/10 by Stephanie ZacharekQuaid doesn't make the best of the movie's baloney; he presents it to us as a believable truth.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Hank SartinAll the uplift could easily get cloying, but director John Lee Hancock knows how to keep things in control, and the whole is surprisingly satisfying.
Charlotte Observer - 8/10 by Lawrence ToppmanThe Rookie is "Rudy" in a baseball uniform.
USA Today - 8/10 by Mike ClarkEven when there are lulls, the emotions seem authentic.
Portland Oregonian - 8/10 by Kim MorganA family film, but it's a wonder if kids will really enjoy it. The picture is geared for older folks, people who'll be heartened by the message that sometimes, you can return to your passions.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Scott TobiasTouching and wise, with fine performances and impeccable widescreen photography, The Rookie is a rare family film that encourages kids to pursue their dreams, but not before giving full weight to the consequences.
