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.

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!

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 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.

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.
