Stealing Home

More movies should be pure enjoyment. They don't have to be great to be enjoyable and this movie with it's nostalgia and adolescent discovery of the wonder of girls is a fun movie. The best part of the movie is the steady friendship between Appleby and Billy Boy. It begins with them and ends with them having matured and yet having not lost their youth. Don't watch this movie as a critique. Watch it as if you are enjoying the popcorn.

This movie is awesome i can remember the first time I saw it when I was in junior high. I instantly fell in love with William McNamara! He does a terrific job in this movie! Jodie Foster was also the perfect person for the role of Katie! Had a great story line. It's a must see!!!

Unlike what most people think, Stealing Home is not a remake or a retelling of the Summer of 42. It is in fact, something better and just as universal. A coming of age drama, besides moments of sexual matter, is a decent movie for any mature (13+) audience. In my opinion, Silverman's character takes away from the main story between Jodie Foster and Thacher Goodwin. For mere comic relief, Silverman could have had more of if not equal amount of character development. Instead, he pops in and out of the main characters life to tell a joke or two. All in all, a good movie. An like always, Jodie Foster is the forever princess of innocence

Stealing Home is a beautiful, moving, little picture, that will touch your heart. Fuelled by an amazing soundtrack and terrific performances by Mark Harmon, Jodie Foster, and esp William McNamara this is one film to definitely watch again and again.

Harmon plays the adult Billy Wyatt, who at the beginning of the film is a washed up former ballplayer, but a phone call with devastating news about the death of his former paramor cum babysitter Katie Chandler forces Billy to return home grow up and decide what to do with her ashes. Through flashbacks we learn about Katies free spirited life and her complex relationship with a young then a teenaged Billy.

This movie is one my all time favorites and after seeing it it should be yours too.

This is one that I have in my collection at home that is one of my favorites. Those that I have loaned it to love it also. Jodie Foster was incredible as was the rest of the cast. It was a very sweet story and only wish it had received more recognition.
