This movie is essentially a mix of inspiring Christian morals and a misguided screenplay that over-preaches those morals while degrading much of them in the process (as well as the plot progression, character development, etc.). Save for Dennis Quaid’s remarkably strong…

I saw this for my dad. I now hate my dad.
JonahSep 4, 2023Dennis Quaid really said “I love my son but I will not support his sinful lifestyle.”
Overlord TanoAug 24, 2023Dennis Quaid, man…what a slept-on actor. Usually Christian drama flicks like this get extremely bogged down with heavy-handed prioritisation of their messaging over their stories, technical craft, and characters. While The Hill does sometimes get preachy and sometimes is…

Pretty good except for the ending because why do we see him hit a homerun but never truly know if hemade the team especially since they spent most of the movie talking about it. I mean I can estimate that he did but truly I don’t know and like how the dad came to his last game
Projecting Film is "meh" onThe HillWhile the messaging is obviously heavy-handed I think we can all agree that staving off failure as long as possible resonates with most of us. Especially when one gets a look at Scott Glenn’s ears. The fate of all old men and we aren’t all starting from Scott Glenn. Godspeed.
Corey Thompson lovedThe HillI love how this movie shows the true power of God and how miracles still happen. When you have faith and know your purpose from God. All things are possible through Christ. Ricky hill even through every challenge knew this and kept moving despite all the setbacks. 9.5/10

the hill is an inspiring and heartfelt sports film. it told a powerful, uplifting true story about perseverance, faith, and following your dreams despite obstacles. while some of the plot felt slow, the emotion and message made it worth the watch!
Nick Dubberly is "meh" onThe HillAn amazing true story of a young man’s determination to make it to the Major League. Ricky Hill’s journey from wearing leg braces as a child, to overcoming a freak ankle injury in high school, all leading up to a tryout to make it to the Majors.
Sidney Huffman lovedThe Hilli’m a sucker for a ‘based on a true story’ 😭🫶🏻 I mean COME ON???? the real pics at the end always give me tears… also why does dennis quaid always the play the morally confused pastor???

Based on a true story. You really feel for the boy and how he was treated. Ending got me to cry a few tears. Enjoyable watch but hard to watch at times.
Jordan McKnight lovedThe HillBased on a true story so had me from the start. The back story, and the detail to his life was played out amazingly. 10 out of 10
Hunter Kolweier lovedThe HillAlways love a good underdog story. Ricky does his all to make it to the major leagues and it makes a great movie.

RMRose Ann McGartyWonderful movie, very inspiring to learn of young men and their families who struggle and don't give up.

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 he’s 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.
