Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
modelbehavior24 This movie is one of my all time FAVORITE movies!!! It is great, the actors are very talented. And, you can watch it with anybody without worrying about being uncomfortable. It is a very wonderful plot, and I think you should watch it! It took me a few times to watch it and like it, but it was AMAZING!!! Jerry B. Jenkins really pulls you into this movie and makes it seem so real. The music matches it perfectly (Nickel Creek). It takes place in a small town and makes you feel happy to watch it. I give it a ten, but it deserves higher then that! Anyone who doesn't like this movie, well they have their opinions, but they will, eventually.
jeff_adkins43004 I was very impressed with the overall cleanliness of this film. Definitely something that the whole family can enjoy and nothing that a parent would have to cover anyone's eyes.This is an example of good Christian film making that will show that Christians can make a quality film.Their world view definitely comes out in this film. That view is hope!Keep up the good work.The film is up there in quality with Return of the Titans. It's a story about redemption, faith, forgiveness, love and team!Again, keep up the good work.Executive produced by one of the authors of the Left Behind Series.
pyrah_of_fires_realm I thought this movie was pretty good for the budget they had to work with. I live near where some of the movie was filmed. You know that scene in the beginning with the guy jumping over the fence? That was on my Uncle's property in Robertsdale. Some of the Cafe scenes were also filmed in Robertsdale at Mac and Jerry's. The filming people even left some of the props they brought in back of Mac and Jerry's. It's kind of weird living right down the road from where some of this movie was filmed. Hometown Legend is a decent, family friendly movie that deserves to be seen. All in all, I really enjoyed it, and am glad that I bought it.
malcolm (wildfire160) Having read all the comments about Hometown Legend one thing that struck me was how diametrically opposed they were,its really bad or how impossibly good it was....... I'm afraid its not either of those though there's a lot to like in it,the acting and football scenes are excellent the music is good but as another reviewer has said there are just too many hokey cliques in the plot and some really stupid plot devices especially those involving the coach,football teams losing streak, school closing, we've seen it all before and done much better if it had been a true story i could have forgiven it all of this but in a drama there should at least be some attempt at an original thought.......a just above average film no worse no better
