Good story to this movie, though it has been done before. The only thing making this movie a 4 instead of 8 is the acting of Jimmy Easton character (David Aaron Stone). If this movie had big names in it and better acting it would be a blockbuster! The actor playing the up and coming baseball star did a fantastic job. The ending of the movie was really well built up and I enjoyed the story of it. Having said all of that I am a big fan of the sports feel good movies! I watched it with my son who is 12 and he very enjoyed it. It's one of the few movies that you can watch without pointless swearing. I don't mind swearing in movies, in some movies it really is needed. What I don't like is when they do it just to try and get the count up!

Very bad acting, poor video quality, looks like a home made movie. Could only sit through about 1/2 the movie and gave up. I am not concerned I might have missed a great ending, was not worth sitting through no matter the ending.

There was no character development. The main character gets some poorly acted motivational speech from Dad, and next thing you know he is a washed up drunk angry at the world. You just don't care about the outcome for the main character, and none of the characters seem believable nor even enjoyable to watch.

My 13 yo son and I watch every movie about baseball we can find, this is the only one that we did not sit through. Takes a lot for my son to agree to shut off a movie midstream.

This movie needs a new writer and director to say the least. The spiritual message may be worthwhile, but not presented this way. I've seen better high school performances. The actors were dry and could have been cardboard cut-outs for all I knew. For those of you who are old enough, I kept waiting for the family dog, Goliath, to walk up and say, "Gee Steevie, what are you going to do now?" I stuck it out to the end to see how the story line was salvaged, but couldn't get the DVD out of the player fast enough when it finished. If the movie is recast and reworked I may give it another try, but until then, I can't recommend it.

My husband and I enjoyed watching this movie. It is a lower-budget production, without fancy special effects, but it's wholesome with a predictable, but meaningful storyline. If you are looking for non-stop action, you won't find it in this thoughtful film, which may surprise some who have come to expect that. But you also won't find explicit language and other themes that seem to be a routine part of hit movies. For me, that was refreshing. I was a little surprised at the vehemence of some of the reviews against this simple, straight-forward movie. If you're not interested in Christian themes, it may be a little boring, but hardly objectionable. I even enjoyed the music in the film, which I was not able to find. From me, it's a thumbs up for a sweet film for the whole family.

The worst movie I've seen this year. Stilted, and robotic reading of the script (I wouldn't call it acting). The script was poorly written, with a plot that can straight out of a cliché factory. It was incredibly predictable. After a few minutes we started predicting the upcoming scenes and how long it would take for things to happen... we were 100 percent right. Also, this movie takes place in a world where there are almost no women and the women who do exist are all VERY blond with very big lips.. and they say very little with those puffy lips.

The funny parts were stupid and the emotional "heart wrenching" parts were funny. I saw this movie free, but had it cost a nickel I would have demanded my nickel back.

The only thing that this movie was good for was to snark on it afterward with other viewers of the movie.

If you are a fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and want a movie that you can rip on from start to finish then this is the movie for you. If you are interested in seeing a well made movie with a good script then stay very very far away from this piece of garbage.

Jimmie Easton (David Aaron Stone) was once a promising baseball player, with the SF Giants. But, just look at him now! After a blown knee and the auto accident death of his parents, he is drinking and drifting. Fortunately, before he hits rock bottom, he is offered a coaching job with a struggling college program. But, it requires moving back to his home town. Thus, Jimmie comes back to his roots with a bad attitude about absolutely everything. On top of it all, he believes he can just "drift" in his job, as the team has never been a winner. Meanwhile, a talented player, Brandon, on Jim's team is likewise having issues. He has a new girlfriend but thinks her parents don't like him. More important, Brandon's mother died two years ago and his father has gone a bit crazy with grief. If anything bothers him, he takes out his anger on Brandon, to the point of physical abuse. One more complication is present. A former flame of Jimmie's is still in town, teaching and looking very pretty in her single state. But, since Jimmie broke her heart once, will she be interested in seeing him again? This film draws from many other films, like The Mighty Ducks (without the humor), Hardball or League of Their Own. Its the coach on the ropes with nowhere to go but up, who still turns losers into champions. BUT, with such a winning formula, what's wrong with a new redo? As a Pureflix film, this one also has no objectionable language or sexual situations. Yet, it does have scenes of alcohol abuse, bar fighting, and family abuse, perhaps making it unsuitable for some younger viewers. Scott does a nice job as the lead and the rest of the cast, unfamiliar, do fine work in their respective roles. Good scenery, costumes, script, and direction make it nice view for an evening's entertainment.

Script has no flow. Piano music is annoying and rest of musical soundtrack does not fit many scenes. How many times do you have to star a line with "Hey"

Wonderful, feel-good family picture with a lot of good heart and great sport. I like its message, that its Christian and current. Some sweet shots and awesome tunes. Friday Night Lights meets The Blind Side. Shows us that having a relationship with God, throughout the toughest moments in your life, that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I particularly enjoyed the guy who played the current baseball star, the young blonde kid. Solid, well-developed character. His subtlety in portraying 'real' truly shines. Like to see that promising actor in more pictures. Inspirational and great film overall. I'd love to see another by these guys. -R

A little corny but a strong baseball themed faith-based message that is still worth watching in 2022 and beyond.

Different storylines intersect throughout the movie to keep the viewer engaged. Weaving in Bible verses is also a huge plus in our crumbling world of deceit and wickedness.

This movie is worth watching if you or someone you know is struggling with depression, regrets, alcoholism, drug use, unfulfilled dreams, and/or regrets.

Once you are over the level of acting, the movie grows on you and makes you smile along the way to have faith in others.

I watched this movie on Pureflix this weeks.

The producing team of Davy Stone and John Meier took the two lead roles in One Hit From Home. Davy Stone plays a washed up ballplayer whose career took a nosedive after his parents were killed in a car crash. Meier who was 31 when the film was made is sadly way too old for the part of a young college baseball prodigy. In fact the only star for the Arizona State University team where Stone has returned to take a job as coach.

Both of these people and the team in general need a lot of motivation. Meier is dealing with an alcoholic father who can't cope with the death of his wife. Both of their inabilities to deal with family tragedy is the bond they share.

It's also the basis of the Christian underpinning of this sports drama. It is a Christian film but it is also suitable for mainstream audiences and has a good message to it about you never know what life will bring you around the next corner, good or bad.

This movie is so boring that I have to confess, I left before it ended. The script is so cheesy and corny and the actors can't do anything to redeem it. The plot of this film is one that has been overdone and used in many better films than this. If you want a nice family watch that uses this similar plot and has better scripting and acting, I would recommend Home Run (2013).

Alrighty... So I was on Netflix field looking for an inspiring baseball movie and came upon "One Hit From Home" as I watching I began to be confused because the corny acting.. I thought maybe it was a joke and I need to just let it play out. 30 minutes into the movie...more corny acting. All the actors seemed like amateurs...it felt very awkward. The production and camera work was pretty spot on. Got some great shots. Sound track was ehhh okay I guess. All the actors were pretty terrible, felt like something I could produce.. I hate to be harsh on a movie but I wasted my time watching half of it and this is my honest review. Thanks for reading.
