Stylish but barely mediocre overall
It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
This movie is one of my all time FAVORITE movies!!! It is great, the actors are very talented. And, you can watch it with anybody without worrying about being uncomfortable. It is a very wonderful plot, and I think you should watch it! It took me a few times to watch it and like it, but it was AMAZING!!! Jerry B. Jenkins really pulls you into this movie and makes it seem so real. The music matches it perfectly (Nickel Creek). It takes place in a small town and makes you feel happy to watch it. I give it a ten, but it deserves higher then that! Anyone who doesn't like this movie, well they have their opinions, but they will, eventually.
I thought Hometown legend was a really great movie. Although it and the town were both fictional, it truly captures the feelings about football in Alabama. It is life. Every Friday night, the whole town supports their team at the high school football field, no matter how small that town is or how bad their team really is. It's a great thing. I also thought the religion parts and especially Rachel's prayer in the beginning say it all. The two things in the South your mammas teach you to believe in are God and your high school football team. Everyone supports their team, and football is everything. The movie shows that wonderfully. It was a great movie, and really brings out the feeling of high school in a small town. Yes, the accents were a little extreme and fake at some points,(maybe I just notice it because I grew up in Athens?) but for the most part I loved it. I think whether you are from the south, are never have been here, I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone.
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
Finally, we have people trying to make a difference in the entertainment industry!!! This movie was GREAT! I enjoyed not having to worry about what would be showing from scene to scene. Awesome plot, and the actors were great!!! This is the kind of film that I wouldn't mind seeing time and time, again!!! Thank you, Jenkins Entertainment, for producing a film that the whole family can see and enjoy!!!
