42 was about a young (colored) man named Jackie Robinson who changed the history of baseball. He was offered a spot on the 1940's baseball team, The Brooklyn Dodgers. Through a lot of racism from the other major league baseball players and tons of death threats, Jackie Robinson managed to change baseball. I feel that the costume designs and makeup were incredible and brought the image of both the characters and the 1940's to life. The sets, acting and directing were great. Also the casting made the characters much more realistic. You can take a family member or child to this movie. It is not inappropriate nor violent. I give this movie a rating of 9.5/10. Don't keep it in your pocket. I say SPEND IT! :-0 !!
