WOW!!! This is the kind of movies I love. It stired up my faith just like "the forge". It is amazing what we can accomplish, if we let God be in charge. And, how he can turn everything around for the good of His own. God is able to deal with any obstacle of a man or whatever, and accomplish his purpose in our lives, if we let him.

I went into this movie with 0 expectations, it was at the movie theatre, so I went. This movie makes most hallmark movies look like the Shawshank redemption. The good: it will make you laugh, even if it is laughing at it for the most part. Oh also the part where they send the protagonist to jail. The bad: the acting at points is so cheesy and corny that it is at times very hard to watch. Of course the antagonist of the movie is someone who is anti-Bible. This movie is going to most likely cringe anyone out who is under 50 and even most Christian's will find this unwatchable. The ugly: I don't know why it seems like every single one of these movies has to end it by everyone cheering and clapping in a position that makes 0 sense. Also the baseball that is played looks horrible, they couldn't even get some real talent or special effects apparently.

This is one of the small percentage of films that passes muster in 2022. It has been rather depressing to pan so many films (over 85%) released during this year. Fortunately, this film is not one of those. First of all, I must admit I am a sucker for baseball movies, but not all of them. The dreadful "Babe Ruth Story" starring William Bendix was a prime example of an extremely corny film. Field of Dreams=good corny, The Babe Ruth Story=bad corny. This film, despite its religious content, succeeds in capturing the audience. The plot is interesting and has real-life implications. It is not easy to make a living in baseball if you are not a talented player in the major leagues. But some can succeed in being happy in life and having a nice career in it as well. Good viewing.

You would have to dislike God not to love the powerful and inspiring story. It is about redemption and love wrapped up all in one. When a critic starts out with I am a Christian, but I would be an atheist run. As this film isn't your regular Hallmark-looking film. It will make you laugh out loud and cry all at the same time. If this film doesn't, you think about the way you live life and what you bring to the table to inspire others not sure what to tell you. As one film critic rated this movie said best faith-based film in the last five years, and I would have to agree. Not based on a true story it sure could be.

I highly, highly recommend this great family movie. Gives moral value to sports, which is what drew me to the movie. Displays encouraging character values not only for the young men, but us as adults as well. Brett Varvel has been developing as a actor in leaps and bounds since I caught him in other Christian films. Along with being a writer, director and actor, he has gone on to create his own production company, House of Grace Studios. This movie really put him on my radar. This cast and crew have put together a truly great, heartwarming film. Have watched it numerous times and it has hit me between the eyes every time. Do yourself a favor, sit down and watch this movie. It is also available on Pureflix.

EVERYONE. This movie is STUNNING. Even better than I had imagined it to be. Everything from the acting to the message, to all parts in between were STUNNING. This was one of the FEW movies that actually made me cry at SEVERAL pints in the movie. I HIGHLY suggest bringing those who maybe have NEVER heard the Gospel to this movie, it MIGHT just spark a conversation that changes their eternal destiny. DO see it, support it, bring friends, family, coworkers, anyone else you can think of. This movie DESERVES to be seen. It is an EASY A+ in my book. WONDERFUL job Up2You films, you did a STUNNING job with a VERY timely film.

One of the best Christian Movies. We are here to do God's will not our own when we submit to him he will use us as a vessel to accomplish his plans. Many of the commentors don't understand this. They claim to be Christian but they grew up with a false Gospel. The other commentors hate God much like the villain in this movie. This movie It's a great example of how God's will It is manifested when we submit to him. We live for God's glory not our own. People want God to be in their life and fulfill their plans And dreams. When they need to be Dedicating their life to God's plan and his will.....

I was honestly impressed with and surprised by this movie! I knew going in that as a Christian movie, there might be aspect technically that weren't comparable to the recent blockbusters of the secular box office but the cinematography was beautiful and I enjoyed seeing the variety of shots and seamlessly editing. I loved the incorporation of the soundtrack and how it played on the audience's heartstrings. The story itself was so heart-wrenching. Bring you tissues because there were so twists even I didn't see coming that left me with my jaw on the floor. I was so engaged in this film and had such a fun time watching it. Bring your whole family to this clean film that proclaims the good news of the Hope we have in Jesus Christ. It's witty, wholehearted and winsome! To everyone involved in this project...Great Job of standing up for your faith even when the world didn't approve! I plan to go see it again and take my family!

This movie was awesome! Finally a feel good (actual) family movie. Saw it twice and buying it when it comes out. I didn't have to worry about my kids watching it at all, unlike 99% of the movies coming out now. So much crap coming out of the movie industry, this is a breath of fresh air. Acting was good, storyline was great and the message was outstanding! If we had more movies like this coming out of Hollywood our world wouldn't be so messed up. If you haven't seen it I would highly recommend it and if you like it make sure to share it and support this kind of entertainment. Everyone complains about what this industry is trying to do to our kids, and rightfully so, then you ought to support this kind of film.
