One Hit from Home

A little corny but a strong baseball themed faith-based message that is still worth watching in 2022 and beyond.

Different storylines intersect throughout the movie to keep the viewer engaged. Weaving in Bible verses is also a huge plus in our crumbling world of deceit and wickedness.

This movie is worth watching if you or someone you know is struggling with depression, regrets, alcoholism, drug use, unfulfilled dreams, and/or regrets.

Once you are over the level of acting, the movie grows on you and makes you smile along the way to have faith in others.

I watched this movie on Pureflix this weeks.

Script has no flow. Piano music is annoying and rest of musical soundtrack does not fit many scenes. How many times do you have to star a line with "Hey"

Wonderful, feel-good family picture with a lot of good heart and great sport. I like its message, that its Christian and current. Some sweet shots and awesome tunes. Friday Night Lights meets The Blind Side. Shows us that having a relationship with God, throughout the toughest moments in your life, that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I particularly enjoyed the guy who played the current baseball star, the young blonde kid. Solid, well-developed character. His subtlety in portraying 'real' truly shines. Like to see that promising actor in more pictures. Inspirational and great film overall. I'd love to see another by these guys. -R

Very bad acting, poor video quality, looks like a home made movie. Could only sit through about 1/2 the movie and gave up. I am not concerned I might have missed a great ending, was not worth sitting through no matter the ending.

There was no character development. The main character gets some poorly acted motivational speech from Dad, and next thing you know he is a washed up drunk angry at the world. You just don't care about the outcome for the main character, and none of the characters seem believable nor even enjoyable to watch.

My 13 yo son and I watch every movie about baseball we can find, this is the only one that we did not sit through. Takes a lot for my son to agree to shut off a movie midstream.

This movie needs a new writer and director to say the least. The spiritual message may be worthwhile, but not presented this way. I've seen better high school performances. The actors were dry and could have been cardboard cut-outs for all I knew. For those of you who are old enough, I kept waiting for the family dog, Goliath, to walk up and say, "Gee Steevie, what are you going to do now?" I stuck it out to the end to see how the story line was salvaged, but couldn't get the DVD out of the player fast enough when it finished. If the movie is recast and reworked I may give it another try, but until then, I can't recommend it.
