- GoofsIn the beginning of the movie, teen age Rickey Hill is driving a 1973 mustang fastback. The year is 1975 in the movie. How does a 2 year old mustang look beat up like a 40 year old mustang? Also the mustang has modern machined aluminum wheels that were only available in the last 30 years, not 50.

Featured review
It's NOT a sports movie
They advertise this as a baseball film with a religious backdrop but it's the exact opposite. The family and their religion is the main focus of this movie and the sons baseball career is just the backdrop to what is a religious film. I have no problems with films about religion but when something is sold as one thing and it turns out to be another I get annoyed by that. There is no reason why you should have to fool your audiences into thinking your movie is something that it's not. If your film has a good story then you don't need to dress it up as something else and trick people into watching it under false pretence. This movie is watchable for what it is, however it is very formulaic and your standard religion based film.
