Home Run Movie Reviews

• Sean O'Connell - Washington Post : 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.
• Tom Long - Detroit News : It'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 ...
• Betsy Sharkey - Los Angeles Times : Almost from the beginning the message overwhelms the medium.
• Louis Black - Austin Chronicle : This slightly better-than-average family film is all paint-by-numbers.
Jackie K. Cooper - jackiekcooper.com : An inspirational and entertaining movie about a baseball player's road to recovery from addiction.
