42

My first review, which was the highest starred review, was a line of dialogue from the film. I received this e-mail from Criticker on 8/24/2023, ten years later: "Your mini-review of the film 42 has been deleted. This review was in violation of our policy against offensive and abusive language." Again, my review was a line of dialogue from the film. I applaud Criticker for their heroism, bravery, and courage. Please DO NOT watch 42 as it may be offensive and have abusive language. Go Israel!

Harrison Ford and that asshole from Scrubs try to see who can spout out the most old time sayin' dang nabbit. Movie didn't know what to do with its shitty era , "ER BLACK PEOPLE GROSS GET OFF THE FIELD ....WHATEVER!!!" Really depressed seeing old Harrison Ford.

Bonus points for baseball but loses some from being fairly toothless. Has a bit of a TV movie feel to it, despite some familiar faces. Sloppy dialogue doesn't help either.

Superb movie based on the baseball legend Jackie Robinson Great performances from Harrison Ford and Chadwick Boseman

42 is a typical movie in the Remember the Titans school of movie making, where you shine a disneyesque light on a matter, and serious problems somehow get solved by winning the last game of the season. Let's be honest here, it's not Strinberg and the dialogue is a bit weak at times, but as a lazy sunday night movie it works. 42 made me care about Baseball. Hell, for a while there it almost looked like it made Harrison Ford care about a movie. That's impressive.
