Happily Managing a Household of Boys: Momentum Influencers Blog Tour: The Hill Movie Review

Growing up impoverished in small-town Texas, young Rickey Hill shows an extraordinary ability for hitting a baseball, despite being burdened by leg braces from a degenerative spinal disease. His stern, pastor father (DENNIS QUAID) discourages Rickey from playing baseball to protect him from injury, and to have him follow in his footsteps and become a preacher. As a young man, Rickey (COLIN FORD) becomes a baseball phenomenon. His desire to participate in a try-out for a legendary major league scout divides the family and threatens Rickey’s dream of playing professional baseball. Based on a true story, THE HILL is directed by Jeff Celentano and also stars JOELLE CARTER, country music singer and songwriter RANDY HOUSER, Golden Globe nominee BONNIE BEDELIA, and SCOTT GLENN.

I really enjoy "Based on a True Story" Movies and The Hill probably is one of the BEST that I have ever seen. Rickey Hill was a STRONG Boy and wanted independence by being able to play Baseball. Rickey wasn't going to let his Spinal Disease or the fact that he wore Braces deter him from his dreams. Parents want what is BEST for their Children, and Ricky's Dad wanted to Protect Ricky from further injury. I completely understand the Father's LOVE and concern for Rickey, I also believe in letting Kids reach their dreams and goals despite anything that might hinder them. I truly LOVE that Rickey became a GREAT Player with determination and Faith in God!

The Hill is a MUST-SEE Movie for the Family! It is a Heart Warming, Faith Filled, Inspiring, Family Friendly, and VERY Entertaining Movie! I highly recommend this Movie which will be in Theatres this Friday, August 25th!
