Running the Bases

This was a well-produced faith-based film, with great actors! Excellent life lessons about living out your faith and following God's call for your life. You don't have to love sports to understand what's happening in the movie. For people who are tired of violent movies, here is a movie you can enjoy with your family, whatever the age of your children. Would love to see more of these type movies in major theaters! Coaches should take their teams to see how this team learns to work together. A great lesson about trusting God to provide. A great reminder that God works all things out for our good.

My baseball-loving 12-year-old son and I drove 45 minutes to the next state over to watch this movie, and I'm so glad we did! It was absolutely incredible. I don't think there was any foul language at all. There were a couple of suspenseful scenes, but they were very tastefully handled, as they were crucial to the storyline. I appreciated everything about this movie. The characters were well-thought out, and the storyline kept you interested all throughout. I can only hope and pray there are more movies like this one being produced in the future, because we need them now more than ever. Great movie!

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.

Not really. But holy cow, ugh. Nothing made even a lick of sense. Even the main plot point of the movie is completely nonsensical. The main character's "public religious display" is not even religious. It's just running around bases. And yet he gets arrested and put in jail for it, because that's what the plot calls for. Impossible to suspend your disbelief, just terrible. Terrible acting, particularly from the wife character. Completely cliched and predictable characters and plot points. Confused morals. Aren't ostentatious displays of piousness preached against in the gospel anyways? And yet that's all this movie wants to celebrate. Very embarrassing to sit through, as a Christian. Can't understand how low most people's standards are to be giving it 10s. Should have listened to Ace_of_Sevens.

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.
