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.

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!

This movie honestly is one of the best films I have seen this year! It has something for everyone and keeps your attention from beginning to end. The story was excellent and the characters were realistic with heart that draws you in. Acting was A+ and casting was perfect across the board. One way I know a movie is exceptional is if it can make me cry... I cried! This movie was not only entertaining but it masterfully wove real life principles of faith, courage, forgiveness, redemption, and hope throughout. It also has some twists, turns, and surprises too. This film shines and is a must see for all!!

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.

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!
