Rookie of the Year (1993)

People are voting emotionally.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Blistering performances.

Movie is so retarded and very boring. It's not even funny only dumb people will find it funny and also the kid is annoying. He's not even funny and forcing people to run by calling them a chicken they won't even allow that in a real league. Also they wouldn't let the kid to annoy a pitcher to make him throw the ball at the base and stalling the game. Another retarded part is when the pitcher throws the ball at the base when the annoying kid wouldn't shut up and when he threw the ball it was obvious that there was a delay in it between shots of the scene. In real life it wouldn't take more than a second for the ball to reach the base. The kid is lame he's not even funny whatsoever only retards will find it funny or people who doesn't know about editing and delays. Daniel stern is the only funny actor in this movie especially home alone series. I'm so thankful this kid wasn't as Kevin but being abuse by family would be funny. You also don't get super strength after getting your cast off, in fact I know 7 people who had to cast their arm and when it healed it didn't give them strength proving this movie is extremely fake.

Henry Rowengartner is a 12 year old boy who got injured in school trying to catch a ball. When the cast comes off, his arm becomes a rocket launcher. On his day in the Cubs bleachers, he takes a HR ball from the opposition and throws a clothsline to the plate. The desperate Cubs immediately tracks him down and signs him as a pitcher.This is Daniel Stern's only directorial full length movie. He's done some Wonder Years episodes before this. There isn't any glaring directing problems. It's a relatively good effort. Stern must be a long suffering Cubs fan. Only a Cubs fan could come up a 12 year old savior for the long suffering club.Thomas Ian Nicholas is a charming little boy. He encompasses the innocence and the wonder that this movie absolutely requires. The final 3 outs are the stuff of teen boys' fantasy. That's the kind of wholesome entertainment this is all about.

Thomas Ian Nicholas as Henry Rowengartner was brilliant. John Candy as the Anoucer was excellent. Whats Hilarius is that he name calling that other baseball player to make fun of him because Henry Rowengartener wants to win. Thats funny when Daniel Sterns is stuck in the closet door. This story is about a 12 year old kid named Henry Rowengartener a famous baseball so he joins with the Cubs just that he is good with his arm to play baseball but then his arm can not throw with a baseball anymore then he try to win just then he was a winner. Just then by the first time a very hard player at baseball beats all the time but in the end of the movie he lost. This movie is wonderful you will like this movie and so does your family.

At first i thought that the fim was going to be rubbish but then i found that thomas ian nicholson so i thought that id watch it ! and i found out that it was very good ! I found it quite funny as well ! That is why i rated it 9/10 !! Thomas Ian Nicholson is such a good actor ! This flim i could watch time and time again as it is so good ! Thomas Ian Scott should do a Rookie of the year 2 where he is the worlds famous baseball player and he has a wife n kids but there is a crisis where his arm breaks and he is not allowed to play ever again !But they try and find something to make him play and at the end he finds something and he gets a big cheer when he plays again The End ! Dgibson !
