The Rookie (2002)

Should I see it?
Yes.

This is a pleasant film. Inspiring and upbeat, this picture about a high school baseball coach who breaks into the major league is a breath of fresh air. Dennis Quaid is perfectly cast in the lead and is helped by a solid script and strong supporting cast. Good comfort cinema is exceedingly rare these days. Rent it and enjoy.
