Good Film
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.

I loved the movie!
I loved Hometown Legend. In fact my sister and brother are watching right now.. It is a very good and clean movie. I love Alabama and they give a good inpreation of it there. haha They directed it very well. I loved "Left Behind' and when I saw that the director from "Left Behind" directed it I knew I would like this movie. God Bless, Kathryn
just average
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
it was cool
i have seen the movie and it was filmed in fairhope which isn't that far from where i live. Actually, they used one of my friends property,(well her grandfathers)and they actually filmed her and her sister as extras, but after watching the movie i think they cut them out, but still i thought it was really cool.
Mark McLachlan is excellent...Great Movie!!!!!
Even if you're not a sports fan it is a great family movie. Great football scenes, music and actors. Mark McLachlan is super as "Sherman Naters"....go "Shermanater"! Excellent for for all ages. Keeps you hanging on till the end.
