The strongest scenes take place in dingy hotel rooms, on a deserted farm or in the rehab sessions. It's during these moments that "Home Run" swings for the fences, and often connects.
Top CriticIt's preaching the gospel of a 12-step recovery program with a heavy helping of Jesus for guidance. And the corn can get pretty high ...
Almost from the beginning the message overwhelms the medium.
This slightly better-than-average family film is all paint-by-numbers.
An inspirational and entertaining movie about a baseball player's road to recovery from addiction.
Athlete learns what's important in alcoholism drama.
Baseball, little kids and religion could be a queasy formula for the movie blues but, happily, this one slides down pretty easily.
It delivers its message of hope and healing in a manner that is honest, entertaining and authentic, in a film that can reach audiences both religious and secular.
Boilerplate rise-fall-redemption stuff that works more when it's trying to do less.
Well-cast but thinly scripted faith-based dramedy about baseball, booze and redemption
