42 was not just an entertaining movie for knowledgeable and nostaglic sports fans, it was an entertaining movie all around. I had never seen Chadwick Boseman in anything before to be honest, but I was very impressed with his fine portrayal of Jackie Robinson. And Harrison Ford’s role as Branch Rickey was a terrific performance as well. Thought Christopher Meloni as Leo Durocher was a bad miscast, but not enough to sink the movie. If you haven’t seen this yet, you will not be disappointed. A “Monaghan & Ebert” two-thumbs up!

Jim,
I too found that movie to be well done and informative. Dead on about Harrison Ford. I found Meloni to be “tolerable” but then again, I am a big Meloni fan so this is somewhat of a partial comment. I took my young sons to see it and now they both want to be #42 on the same team!! I guess it had a positive impact on them as well.
