Critic Reviews of "The Rookie"
New York Daily NewsMay 12, 2014At 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.
Associated PressMay 12, 2014Morris 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.
AV ClubMay 12, 2014Though 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.
New YorkerMarch 12, 2013It'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.
Wall Street JournalMarch 12, 2013Until The Rookie came along, I'd forgotten how good and smart a family film can be.
VarietyFebruary 23, 2012Deftly constructed to stoke the baseball-phenom fantasies of coulda-shoulda-woulda middle-aged guys and fields-of-dreaming young diamond studs.
Radio TimesMay 12, 2014This entry in the genre is a true story that is, sadly, hampered by some signposted plot developments and undernourished characters.
Total FilmMarch 12, 2013The 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.
rec.arts.movies.reviewsJanuary 22, 2013Slow moving, even pedestrian at times, yet this Dennis Quaid vehicle strikes a lot of genuinely heartwarming moments along the way.
