Austin Chronicle

This slightly better-than-average family film is all paint-by-numbers.

Rated: 2/5

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.

Rated: 3/4

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 ...

Rated: C+

Home Run is likely the film that most people of faith who have ever struggled with substance abuse issues have been hoping would come around.

Rated: 3.5/4.0

Movie Metropolis

As Christian-themed movies go, this one may not be an over-the-fence hit, but decent enough acting almost compensates for a clichd plot that's intended as a too-obvious illustration/inspiration.

Rated: 6/10

Aqueles filmes bonitinhos sobre superação, perdão, redenção e fé, em Deus e em si mesmo... Aquele filme gospel previsível, emocionante e repetitivo... Provavelmente necessário...

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Minha opinião: Um filme que assisti sem grandes expectativas, porém o filme me surpreendeu, e gostei de te-lo assistido. A estoria é simples, porém que podemos ver esta mesma estoria na vida de muitas pessoas e de como depois de cair na dependência da bebida e se tornar alcolotra e começar a destruir sua carreira, sua vida privada, família e olhar com olhos mais profundo perceber que se trata de traumas de infância ou maldição hereditária. E de sempre se colocar na defensiva de não reconhecer sua fraquezas e de sua dependência e reconhecer que precisa de ajuda. E assim sua vida vai definhando, tenta um reconciliação com sua ex-namorada e mãe de seu filho que ele abandonou. Quantas histórias não conhecemos na vida real? E como sair deste calabouço? Muito simples se rendendo a Jesus e deixando o Espirito Santo fazer morada em nosso coração e deixar sua vida ser moldada em Cristo. E assim ele faz e deixa a verdade entrando em sua vida e começa a transformação, reconhecendo suas fraqueza, seus pecados e se fazendo de pequenino e assim tendo a vida transformada, sua vida profissional, sua família, liberando perdão e pedindo perdão. Um filme que te toca. Roteiro e enredo bem elaborado. Vale apena assistir? Sim com toda a família. Nota: 8,5

I didn’t realize when I borrowed the movie of the Religious undertones, had I known I might have passed it over. As it turns out it was a really good movie
