I totally got lost on this movie more than once. I was hoping for it to be a good Christian film which glorifies God. Maybe I zoned out one too many times, but I don't ever recall them honoring God, seeking God, or praising God. Yes, it was clean & wholesome, but I was expecting something along the lines of other Christian films like Fireproof, Flywheel, Facing the Giants, Courageous, God's Not Dead, etc. I realize they are different companies and should be evaluated differently, but I was not a fan of this one at all. The story didn't really seem to be going anywhere and it kind of closed up in one sequence. I love baseball and some of the things in it bothered me as well..(like why he got mad he couldn't do anything in right field, yet never once backed up the first baseman? lol) In general, it got 3 stars because it is a movie based in faith and intentions were good, but I will probably never watch it again.

I am a huge fan of Seth Rogen & Zac Efron so I may be a bit biased. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I do, however, agree that at times I found myself waiting for the next funny part from the trailer. It exceeded my expectations. As a mom, I rarely get to see a movie, so when I do, I don't want to feel like I wasted my time or money. I don't feel like I did with this title. Although I knew there would be crude language, I think some of the F bombs were a little unnecessary. It still would have been humorous and gotten the point across in those instances. (There was one scene in particular) If you are so appalled my crude humor, this is not the movie for you, nor are most rated R comedies that have come out within the past 5 years. With all that being said, I am no film critic, so I have no idea what the rating is supposed to imply, but I gave it a 7, meaning I'd watch it numerous times, but probably not buy it when it is released!
