Rookie of the Year

Funny movie

Very cute movie; kids loved it.

One of the Greatest Baseball movies of all time. This one is second place to me. Of course Sandlot is numero uno for me 🙂🫶

A very happy customer, came in earlier than expected! A wonderful gift he was very pleased Thankyou :)

We enjoyed watching this movie while we did a jigsaw puzzle

Good Movie for people, who grew up in the 90's or who enjoy Baseball fandom. As a Red Sox fan, I can relate to the cub fans on the site with reviews of hope and desire for a better team and hopefully a golden pitcher to make things come true. When I was a kid, I saw this movie and it felt kind of fun and got me interested in watching a few baseball games. It wasn't until my senior year in High School (2004 season) that the Red Sox won our ultimate comeback (the greatest comeback of any sports series) from 0-3 to beat our most hated enemies the Yankees (everyone hates the Yankees even Yankee fans :P ) and finally win the Championships. We've won again since then, but the first time after almost a hundred years was well worth it. Was it Cheesy? Yes, but it's not a bad movie due to the cliches. I think if I were watching it in my adult mindset, I'd be laughing at the plot's absurdities, but as a kid I knew it was fun and whimsical. That's what people need to watch this movie with, not a critical eye, but a fun and whimsical mindset. Don't lose hope guys, maybe next season the Cubs will have a great team.

Great price

Wonderful kids and family movie ! Such a classic comedy and heartwarMing great for family movie night

Rookie of the Year (1993) is a children's or young adult's baseball film. I first hired this one on VHS in 1995 and really enjoyed it. I was going though the movies of Gary Busey at the time, who was being offered some good roles like Point Break (1991), The Firm (1993), and Drop Zone (1994). The film is a light-hearted comedy, similar to Major League (1989), but with a fantasy element. Although it fits into the children's film category, it can still be enjoyed by adults. Henry Rowengartner (Thomas Ian Nicholas) plays in the little leagues, but dreams of one day being a professional baseball player. An accident during one of his games means that he is out of action for a while, due to a broken arm. The accident is nevertheless a blessing of sorts, as his tendons heal too tight. He now discovers he has preternatural strength in this arm and, whilst going to see the Chicago Cubs he catches the ball and throws it back from the stands, all the way to the home plate. Henry is instantly hired by the club owners Bob Carson (Eddie Bracken) and Larry ''Fish'' Fisher (Dan Hedaya), despite doubts and concerns from his mother Mary (Amy Morton). He is taken under the wing of veteran pitcher Chet Steadman (Gary Busey), whose character is not dissimilar to that of Chelcie Ross' in Major League, the aging pitcher with an arm that may not last much longer. Other members of the Cubs include coach Martinella (Albert Hall) and Brickma (Daniel Stern). Mary nevertheless thinks that twelve year-old Henry should have a normal childhood first and his friends become jealous of his success. His stepfather Jack Bradfield (Bruce Altman) thinks otherwise, for he can see the dollar signs mounting up. Along with Larry, Jack hatches a plan to sell Henry to the Yankees for a few million dollars. Meanwhile Mary is getting close to Chet, and further from Jack who treats Henry like a commodity rather than a child. This prompts Jack to have the deal signed and sealed. Will Henry remain at the Cubs and take them to victory? Like Major League there are the obligatory sports commentators including Cliff Murdoch (John Candy). Rookie of the Year is an above average film in my opinion, despite mixed reviews on its release. It shouldn't be taken too seriously and I'm confident that fans of Major League will love it. The cast all put in good performances and there are plenty of laughs and more than enough drama to keep viewers interested. There is not much to say about the DVD itself, except that the picture quality and sound are good. There are no extra features worth mentioning. Other films that may be of interest (that I have seen and enjoyed) I have listed below: *The Champ (1979), Jon Voight, Faye Dunaway *The Karate Kid (1984), Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita *Youngblood (1986), Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze *Eight Men Out (1988), DB Sweeney, Charlie Sheen *The Karate Kid II (1986), Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita *Major League (1989), Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen *The Karate Kid III (1989), Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita *The Cutting Edge (1992), DB Sweeney, Moira Kelly *The Rookie (2002), Dennis Quaid, Rachel Griffiths & of course, the Rocky movies

Movies are fun and this one was a gift.
