42 is a two hour history lesson that should be watched by every American, especially children. In my humble opinion, Jackie Robinson did more to break the racial barrier than any civil rights leader, and he did it without bloodshed.
Chadwick Boseman does an excellent job of capturing Robinson’s style both on and off the baseball field. Harrison Ford as Branch Rickey — the general manager of the Dodgers — gives one of the best performances of his career.

The World's Most Indispensable Movie App
The RunPee app tells you the best times to run & pee during a movie so you don't miss the best scenes.
Read more about the RunPee app.
About The Peetimes: I would recommend using the first peetime. It gives you more time, and if you are delayed for a minute or so you still will not miss an important scene.
The last peetime is short and contains an inspirational scene. I added it only to be used in an emergency.
There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of 42. (What we mean by Anything Extra)

RunPee Mom is our emotional bedrock. Without her, RunPee never would have lasted a decade as an app (which is since the dawn of time in internet years). She’s our biggest cheerleader and an unending source of unconditional love. She works cheerfully and tirelessly, seeing any movie we ask of her, writing interesting reviews, and being our…well…MOM. Her genres of choice: kiddie flicks, animated movies, emotional dramas, historical features, war films, diverse biographies, and even dense, diabolically plotted thrillers. She knows more about famous and infamous figures in history than said figures probably knew about themselves. She’s the Quiz Manager for the RunPee.com blog, and our resident movie celebrity/trivia expert. If you’ve taken a RunPee Quiz, you’ve most likely been given a virtual hug by RunPee Mom.
