	Review: Rookie of the Year (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		A gargantuan misstep is that Rookie of the Year tries a few stabs at drama while its outrageous setup allows only for the most absurd of comedies.
		Rookie of the Year presents a perfect opportunity for a line of cameos by current and ex-Major League players.
		Rookie of the Year lacks this kind of style, and its comedy is so daft that it can't compete with the likes of Major League (which was, at best, a mediocre film).

	DVD Review: Rookie of the Year (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		"Rookie of the Year" contains a fun, entertaining plot that has a great deal of potential; while the rest of the film isn't always particularly ambitious enough to live up to what it could have been, the film is still an enjoyable piece that the whole family can watch.
		Overall, "Rookie of the Year" manages to just stay in fair play, with a decent lead performance and enough enjoyable moments to carry it through.
		While not a terrific audio presentation, the film's audio at least does a satisfactory job of covering the bases, providing some decent crowd ambience during the baseball games and slight reinforcement of the score.

	Rookie of the Year review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		"Rookie of the Year" is one of those "feel-good" films that is geared more toward children than to their parents.
		Unfortunately, the laughs are few and far between; the gags (most of which involve the film's director, Daniel Stern, as an accident-prone coach) are repetitive; and the heartfelt moments seem hokey and staged.
		And parents can't go wrong with a film like this either: "Rookie of the Year" is light on adult themes, such as sex and violence, and heavy on family values.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Rookie of the Year \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		An old-fashioned baseball fantasy, somewhat reminiscent in its sensibilities of "It Happens Every Spring" and "Angels in the Outfield," Daniel Stern's "Rookie of the Year" is a comedy laced with poignant moments that accomplishes what it sets out to do — but only in fits and starts.
		The first third or so of "Rookie of the Year" is hysterically funny, but then the film settles into a sentimental rut, only to pick up again here and there with amusing bits.
		"Rookie of the Year" is rated PG for some comic violence, a couple of profanities and some mild vulgarity.

	DVD Verdict Review - Rookie Of The Year
		Rookie of the Year is neither of these, so the task of reviewing it is of a different order.
		Rookie of the Year tries so very hard to be nice that criticizing it may seem like kicking a puppy.
		Rookie of the Year is a decent film for kids, or a mixed kid-adult audience, but avoid it if only adults are the intended viewers.

	Portsmouth Herald Local News: Carbone named NHPA Rookie of the Year
		Seacoast Newspapers’ Gina Carbone was named "Rookie of the Year" for her feature writing by the New Hampshire Press Association at its annual awards banquet Sept. 5 in Manchester - a coveted honor among journalists.

		"Rookie of the Year" was Daniel Stern's first movie that he directed and I have to say he did a great job.

	Movie Database - tvguide.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Aimed squarely at little leaguers and their doting parents, ROOKIE OF THE YEAR is a modest fantasy that makes its comic fable appealing despite sporadic slapstick missteps.
		For the converted, a film like ROOKIE OF THE YEAR is impervious to criticism; its bases are already loaded with audience goodwill.
		ROOKIE will be less entrancing for those who find the national pastime boring, though lead actor Nicholas has ample energy to keep the storyline bouncing along.

	The Guide -- Retro Rent of the Week: ‘Rookie of the Year’ Is a Home Run
		Directed by Daniel Stern, who also plays Phil Brickman, the Cubs’ absent-minded pitching coach, Rookie of the Year is a family comedy that should delight audiences young and old.
		There is the temptation to compare the film to Disney’s Angels in the Outfield for its family-friendly wholesomeness, or Major League’s fight-your-way-out-of-the-basement theme, but Rookie of the Year is different.
		It’s an empowering film: not only does Henry find success within himself, but he is able to triumph even after the things he had come to depend on desert him.

		And the film accomplishes all this without resorting to cheap trickery or expensive special-effect sequences, which makes it all the more astonishing.
		Not to be confused with the 1990 Clint Eastwood/Charlie Sheen vehicle of the same title, or the 1993 comedy "Rookie of the Year," this film tells the true story of Jim Morris, a baseball lover who believed his dreams of a major-league career ended when his family moved to Texas.
		If "The Rookie" has a problem, it is its length (the film runs about 15 minutes too long).

	The Year of the Yao Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		The documentary begins with a flashback to the 2002-2003 NBA draft, in which the Houston Rockets make the risky move of selecting, as their first pick, the 22-year-old, 7' 6" Yao who, despite his fame playing for the Shanghai Sharks in his native China, is a dark horse in terms of the American pro league.
		Told in chronological order, The Year of the Yao could play like a corny sports drama drenched in the melted butter of bad clichÃ©s, except it reminds us that life really does sometimes turn out as if it were assembly line produced by the Walt Disney Productions or Lifetime Channels of the world.
		But it is still a very intriguing film that conveys so much more than just the ups and downs in the career of an athlete.

		The 100 mph pitch which propels 12-year-old Henry Rowengartner (Nicholas) into major league baseball is not, however, manna from heaven, but the surprising result of a fall.
		For this is not an enchanting, mystical film, but an exhaustingly physical one.
		Surrounded by such stock characters as the single mum and her slimy boyfriend, the conniving pitcher and his has-been employer, Henry inspires the goodies, foils the baddies.

		"Rookie of the Year" is a wholly benevolent but banal baseball fantasy aimed at Little Leaguers with dreams of reaching big-time fields.
		"Rookie of the Year," as written by newcomer Sam Harper, has far less substance than that series even in its last, threadbare days.
		The lesson is that entertainment doesn't have to be inane just because it's meant for the family.

		Rookie of the Year isn't as great as "The Sandlot", but it isn't as bad as "Little Big League" or "Angels in the Outfield".
		I guess you could say it's showing the world of the big leagues through the eyes of a kid, and if you look at it that way, and allow yourself to just enjoy it, you have a pretty decent baseball fairy tale.
		The film also features a great comedic performance by the late John Candy as the Cubs' play-by-play announcer.
