    Great Movie... historical inaccuracies though.. players left gloves on the field until 1953.... not in this movie. Actor who played Jackie could have copied his running style but didn't. Ford was exceptional!!

    Uplifting movie that is good for all audiences, including those who aren't "into baseball".

    One of the best movies I've seen so far this year. Great for kids too, my youngest son is 12 and it was a great eye opener.

    Excellent movie! Truly depicted the way of life in the 1940's. Jackie Robinson was a true inspiration. Loved the movie!

    Having lived some years in the American South, I saw this racism first hand. Excellent movie. The only odd part was where the babysitter arrived. Had nothing to do with rest of the movie--and I really doubt whether this would have actually happened, either in the 1940s or in the life of the Robinsons.

    Very well made movie, super actors and acting, and directing. Great timing for this movie; too bad many of us will not see ourselves in the narrow-minded, meaner characters and learn from it, but maybe some of us will learn. So proud of the teams that wear "42" in honor of Mr. Robinson. Mr. Rickey should have a statue made in his honor, not only for his love of baseball, but for his civil rights activities.

    A wonderful movie. Well written, excellent cast. It leaves you cringing in your seat at times, as it should. It even has you laughing at times. When you make this kind of movie you also have to pay attention to the baseball being played by non-professionals! Good job!!!
