Running the Bases

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.

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.

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.

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.....

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.
