Audiences looking for a fresh take on this type of story will be sorely disappointed by its refusal to deviate from the norm. But those in the mood for a sweet, uplifting, faith-based film will find it a pleasant way to spend an hour and a half. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Nikki R 07/27/2024 Great story! Helped me look at things differently. My son to had a medical challenge who played football. This was encouraging See more Jerod S 05/27/2024 Hoovey is a great story, but despite the actual actors in this film, it fails to connect. Hoovey recovers from his tumor to play basketball, but nobody really seems to care. See more R C @originalsalt 10/04/2023 An uplifting movie about a high school kid who battles through a brain tumor. Not a spoiler alert. It's in the film description! Watch if you're in the mood for something inspirational, family-oriented and faith-based. See more 12/09/2021 Not the greatest acting, but the story really holds together. True story. Worth watching. Leaves you with a feel good feeling. Nice watching actual family photos at the end of the movie. See more 07/20/2019 interesting and uplifting Christian story based on real life family See more roger g 08/25/2018 A feel-good story of an athlete overcoming adversity to succeed when it appeared that it might be impossible. Based on a true story, but probably embellished for the purpose of theatrics which, in this case, works to provide the emotional kick wanted by the book on which the story is based.
