Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 12/16/2010
2.5/5
Handsome but standard-issue heartland fare. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety 07/06/2010
The offscreen story of these unknowns getting their autobiographical drama to the screen proves more interesting and inspiring than the polished, earnest, rather routine movie itself. Go to Full Review Stephen Holden New York Times 05/14/2010
3/5
Without making a fuss about it, Touching Home looks squarely at working-class people for whom professional sports are not just a fantasy, they are also a way out of a dead-end existence. Go to Full Review Ryan Cracknell Movie Views 11/20/2013
Touching Home is stronger when it focuses on the small-town life than when it steps on the ball diamond. The decent cast elevates it to a tolerable level. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 05/15/2010
7.42/10
A heartfelt albeit slightly contrived drama that boasts a brave, emotionally resonant performance by Ed Harris as well as inspirational messages about the important virtues of courage, love, hope, passion and family. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

steve d 06/17/2020 deeply uninteresting with some terrible performances. Even Harris is unremarkable. See more Frances H 05/28/2016 The Natural, it's not, but for a first film, not bad. Ed Harris is always worth a watch! See more 01/22/2014 Somewhat interesting but acting was pretty poor. See more 11/19/2012 For anyone who has grown up in a small blue collar community and has seen the struggles, this movie may hit a little too close to home. All the reviews that talk about the poor acting of the Miller brothers, aren't actually "seeing" the movie. I'm not sure how I never saw this movie before today. See more 08/26/2012 In my opinion, the story was alright, it did though, touch my heart because of the father. See more 11/30/2011 Nice, slow moving, touching biodrama. Ed Harris is wonderful, as usual. Obviously not the biggest budget, but very often this makes for a more hearfelt film. I would put this one in that category. Really well done with alot of heart...
