42 - a movie based on the life of Major League Baseball Hall of Famer, Jackie Robinson. Robinson also happens to be the first African-American player in the league (played for the Brooklyn Dodgers).
Absolutely loved this movie. I laughed, I (almost) cried, I sat at the edge of my seat, I basically went through an entire emotional roller coaster ride, and loved every minute of it!!! It is a feel good movie that will make you want to fight back at times, and cheer at others.
So, here's the other stuff I got out of it...several of the cast of Grey's Anatomy (George - T.R. Knight & Chief - James Pickens, Jr) play roles in this movie. Harrison Ford (plays the Dodgers owner) just does NOT age (and T.R. Knight looks even younger), I learned some new stuff about baseball (still don't know if I could watch an entire game - live or on tv), and the most profound part....when Robinson (played by Chadwick Boseman) said, "I thought you woke me because I was cut from the team." Just another line to prove that there is always a silver lining, to EVERY situation!!
Rating: 2 thumbs up, 5/5 stars
WOW! I know a few people that went to see the movie, but I haven't heard anyone's review, yet. I am glad you enjoyed the movie. I don't watch Grey's Anatomy so those references mean nothing to me, but one of the actors have my brother's name. hehehehehe.
