Rookie of the Year Ratings & Reviews
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
Rookie of the Year may feature a preposterous premise but it still remains an entertaining baseball comedy three decades later.
Fresh Fiction
Preston Barta
'Rookie of the Year' doesn't deserve the critical bench after 30 years. It's an ace family sports movie!
Hartford Courant
Malcolm Johnson
Inning after inning, Rookie of the Year goes down swinging, ignominiously. It's strictly bush league stuff.
Common Sense Media
Randy White
Far-fetched fantasy is good-natured fun for all.
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
Good Family Fun with a side-splitting performance by Stern
Nolan's Pop Culture Review
Michael A. Smith
Above average baseball yarn with director Stern and friends paying homage to their beloved Cubbies.
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
Merely mediocre.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
This movie is not likely to make my list of the year's best, but I can remember those miserable Little League games and so in a modest way I'm grateful for this film. It is pure wish-fulfillment, 40 years after I needed it.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Chris Hicks
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.
