User Reviews

Powerful

This movie is powerful. As someone who has dealt with these exact issues it blew me away. This movie has played a major role in a life change for me and I hope it can help others as much as it has helped me. God is definitely at work here. The movie covered so many things from arrogance to recklessness to redemption stemming from childhood issues that I am still in awe. Do not go in just expecting to see a baseball movie this is a tough love kind of movie that will pull at your heart strings if you truly have been there and shows how God can change your life not a baseball drama.

It was a little slow getting started but by the end of the movie I was fighting off tears. I attend celebrate recovery at a local church and the requirement that they had for using it in the movie was to show they do not charge money as they are an organization that helps people not to make a profit.
