![The Rookie [Blu-ray]](http://cdn.hometheaterforum.com/d/de/50x50px-ZC-dec8565e_B001152THU-51PORch6n-L.jpg)
Disney's The Rookie, now available as a Blu-Ray disc, is a warm, fuzzy, sentimental, and heartwarming film.
And that's probably just about enough to keep most people away from it.
But the film is a terrific warm, fuzzy, sentimental and heartwarming production. It tells the true story of a once in a lifetime opportunity for a teacher and coach to make his way to majors at twice the age of others trying out for the team.
The BD release is very nicely rendered, with a sharp well-produced image, clean colors, black blacks and a big, expansive track.
I would suggest that potential viewers work to get past precognitions of it being warm and fuzzy, sentimental and heartwarming in that old-fashioned Disney way...
and just go for it.
The film is a treat -- a beautiful story, told well.
Recommended.
