Great movie for the family although there are a couple of scenes with drunken behavior. Every parent who has children playing sports should watch this movie.

Liked it. Provides insight into fact that what drives an athlete to excel can also be his/her demon. I found the look at the 12 step program to be quite interesting. The end messages that there is always hope, lots of good people who care, of human spirit and you control your own destiny were all nicely delivered. I didn't have a problem with the religious segments nor did I find them overbearing

A bad title for a good movie about a talented professional baseball player who is also an alcoholic. A realistic portrayal of self-defeating behaviors, how past experiences always influence present behavior, why other people are crucial for support, and it ends on a hopeful, redemptive note.

It was an encouraging, upliting movie. I really enjoyed seeing how someone can be restored to wholeness after dealing with something that could have been life detroying! Enjoy it! I did!

An awesome film about personal turmoil and redemption. While Home Run focused largely on how a pro baseball player Cory Brand's unresolved conflicts lead him to medicate himself in a wide variety of ways from his teen years, viewers are challenged with the reality that everyone struggles with their own personal demons at one time or another. Today, with so many ways to escape the pain life deals us--it's refreshing to see that programs like Celebrate Recovery offer acceptance and love to those who are hurting. Honestly the movie is heads and shoulders above the frailer. The acting was superb! Hopefully, we'll see more of Scott Elrod in the future.

I thought this was going to be another cheesy, feel-good film with subpar acting. Au contraire! Scott Elrod was superb as the lead actor (not to mention, he's easy on the eyes)! People are real life. Alcoholism is real life. Abuse is real life. Baseball is real life. Celebrate Recovery is real life. Jesus is real life. This movie depicts everything that is real life. I laughed, and I cried. I have attended Celebrate Recovery for the last 6.5 years of my life, and they did an excellent job incorporating the program into this movie. I hope lots of people will give this movie a chance and then give Celebrate Recovery a chance! I cannot wait to own this movie, so I can enjoy it whenever I want!

Home Run was a very touching a inspirational movie. Yes, it was low budget, but it was a very good movie, even better than 42. It shows that people can change for the better, you just need help and passion.

Great Love story of redemption and forgiveness! This movie hits a 'Home Run' to audiences both religious and secular. You will feel a gamete of emotions and has a beautiful ending that is really a new beginning for all. A must see!

It's nice to be able to go to a movie, have emotion, real life stuff, and still in the end have hope. The acting was great from some "not quite so famous" actors, the cinematography though not a special effect - was VERY effective, and the writing hits hard. Great for families, would warn of the first 5 minutes or so, EXTREMELY true to life. I'm sure it's rated PG-13 for these first few minutes. One of the best "true to life" movies I've seen in quite a while. Hollywood needs to take notice.

This is a great movie! Lets us know we are not the only ones suffering from things in our past, or bad choices. Brings HOPE to those who find they can not "fix" themselves, and points to the only ONE who can!
