Running the Bases

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.

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!

Was all set to see another standard Hollywood violent action movie but switched to 'Running the Bases' in hopes of seeing something different, something with more heart in it. Great decision! Well acted, drama, humor, true to life story, realistic high school baseball, excellent cinematography, and, yes, realistic portrayal of people dealing with very hard life challenges, making them question God. Highly recommend this movie, especially if you played in high school sports (I played Little League), but it's a really great movie whether you played sports or not. The story highlights interactions between coaches and players, players and players, and parents and children. Your heart will be moved.

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.
