Atom User Reviews for The Hill
Loved it. Beautiful story. So well done. Highly recommend.
This movie is a home run! Good Clean Fun for everyone. Based on a true story.
It is good to finally see a movie without a lot of hoopla, just good old fashion movie to feel good.Entertainment
The Hill is one of the most inspiring story when it comes to baseball true stories. This movie is the Real "Natural". Tremendous story. You don't have to be a baseball fan to enjoy and learn something positive from this movie.
Rickey is an inspiration in faith and positivity.
Loved, loved, loved it! Incredible story. Wonderful and clean movie from beginning to end.

Absolutely π― movie to see ! Awesome story of this overcoming adversity.
Inspiring
Such a great family movie! We loved it!
The Hill is inspiring as Christian movies go. Nit sure why Dennis Quaid is in so many of these types of movies? Nice story, especially since it is Texas based. It is an enjoyable movie, fairly well acted and the story line is fairly believable. If your child is into baseball/softball, I think that they would really enjoy thus movie. It isn't as inspiring as Rudy, The Natural, Remember the Titans, or even The Rookie, but it is an enjoyable feel good movie.
This was an inspiring movie... a little predictable, but the fact that it was based on a true story, makes it a great movie to see!! God is a God of Miracles!!ππππππππ
Went to this movie, not really thinking too much. But, it is a very inspiring movie. Really touching. A great family movie with a Christian theme. Highly recommend!
It shows where faith. love, persistence and dedication can get you. A great family movie.
To know that it is based on a true story makes it more than a cheezy, family friendly movie! Dennis Quade was excellent.
This is a great movie for the whole family! We thoroughly enjoyed the entire thing and highly recommend it to others.
Love the movie !!!!! would sure go back to see it again
Took are Grand Kids and we all loved the story.
Metacritic
The film would have benefited from director Jeff Celentano perhaps picking up the pace a little, and the deletion of some extraneous subplots. But the climactic sequence, in which Rickey bats through the pain while encountering the toughest pitchers heβs ever faced, provides the perfect stirring conclusion.
Overall, The Hill is lacking many of the hallmarks one would expect from a sports movie, pushing aside major events in favor of returning to its religious messaging. This leads to some baffling choices in its character development and storytelling, and those in turn erase much of the tension and emotion from the movie.
The Hill is meant to be inspiring, of course, and to some, it might be, but the vibe is more reassuring in the way that it does not deviate from the standard-issue formula of such movies. It is a cinematic case of confirmation bias, designed to fulfill preexisting values and beliefs.
