Linda Marric HeyUGuys The film stands out as a reminder of the importance of these types of films. It's a story about hope, perseverance, and the power of believing in something bigger than yourself. It's a well-crafted, heart-warming story that the whole family can enjoy. Rated: 4/5 Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Ty Burr Washington Post There’s really nothing wrong with “You Gotta Believe” — other than slack filmmaking, a clichéd musical score that goes for the jugular, a weird sex joke when a rival pitcher turns out to be a gurl, and... not enough baseball. Rated: 2/4 Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Thelma Adams AARP Movies for Grownups The movie incorporates the enormous life lessons of loss -- and the soul-healing powers of baseball and teamwork. It’s not the score on the board that matters, but the spirit on and off the field. Rated: 3/5 Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy It’s extremely difficult to make an effective tearjerker, so you gotta give You Gotta Believe credit for striking when it matters most. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Rick Bentley KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) This is a case of whether you know the story or never heard of the Texas team, the trek around the bases is not compelling enough to be a hit. It is little more than being just a safe space for families and baseball fans. Rated: C- Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Lapacazo Magrira Sandoval New York Amsterdam News Despite being filled with clichés, "You Gotta Believe" is a solid film. I won’t give away whether they win the big game, but this is a feel-good movie that’s well-edited and perfect for a family audience. Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Will Too sad and not enough feel good moments Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Jose A Good Movie, everyone should see it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Mr. Hollywood Yes its a sports story based on a true story, yes youve heard this saying with many sports movies and yes this movie isnt any different. Its not bad just been done before. Enjoyable and good to watch with young ones just starting to play sports Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review jswaringen Great story, being from Ft. Worth I'm kinda biased though. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Michelle G It looked like a upbeat, fun show kind of made me think it was something like sandlot and bad news Bears. In reality is about cancer and that sucks left before it was over. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Google Very well done. Little emotional towards the end but it was a great movie.
