Typical DQ underdog sporting hero story, though this one appears a lot of the time to be more focused on the father of the hero, and his spiritual campaign, than the sportsperson the story is actually about. It's OK, but it misses the mark when compared to other similar stories of endurance, perseverance and personal growth

Family friendly baseball film that unfortunately moves so slowly it doesn't bring you up with its true tale.

The hill is a inspirational film with a good story good cast and it makes you route for ricky throwout the film ricky is an inspiration to me and I would recommend the film to anybody looking for a sports movie with an inspirational story

Dramma sportivo con fortissima spinta religiosa, tratto da una storia vera che poi è essenzialmente la caratteristica che rende questo film interessante. La sceneggiatura infatti è piuttosto pesante e troppo classica; il racconto favorisce il dramma familiare ed esalta povertà, litigi e problematiche della famiglia, di fatto quasi totalmente tralasciando lo sport e la scalata del giovane protagonista, che viene riassunta in qualche scena strappalacrime senza nemmeno rendere comprensibile ai più, cosa stia succedendo a livello tecnico. Dennis Quaid nelle interpretazioni potenti è sempre ottimo attore e si distanzia notevolmente dal resto del cast. Nel complesso però il film sembra girato nei primi anni 2000 per lo stile di regia e di sceneggiatura, rendendo poco fresco il prodotto.

Amazing film. On the nose at times but forgivable due to its beating heart. I love finding movies like this that the audience loves and critics hate.

What the flying ****?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Hill is an inspirational story of courage and determination in the face of unbelievable adversity. The acting is first rate with Dennis Quaid excelling. This is the rare cinematic experience where the audience leaves slightly better people then when they entered the theatre.

I really enjoy watching movies based on real life, and The Hill fits in that category. Mr. Quaid did a true to life portrayal of a rural Southern preacher and the young actors made for very credible boys raised in a strict Christian setting. The pastor Dad learns his lesson in the end, that God’s grace comes in different places and through the different talents He bestows upon His children. His stubbornness is melted by God as he realizes he has denied his son the very gift God had given the young man, even if only for a short season.

Interesting disparity between the critics and audience for a movie with acute christian undertones. A good, watchable film with an excellent moral message and real emotion. I liked it.

Nothing else to say other than that was a great movie

I always enjoy a true, feel good story. Dennis Quaid usually does these well but this one fell flat for me. Long, slow and kinda boring.

Great true story! Dennis Quaid always nails it. Highly recommend!

Excellent story, based on a real person, and it really pulls you in. It was difficult to watch, at times, just because life and people can be very difficult and this portrays a heavy side of that. It's truly a film that will make you think about your own life and family relationships.

Brought me to tears. This is a sincere movie for sports fans and the whole family.

Recommended for family viewing. Inspirational!

Uplifting story with very good acting. There really wasn’t a weak performance in the film. The story itself was predictable but wonderfully void of hate. Reinforced strong family values but portrayed Christians in an unfavorable light.

No matter what, Go for it !

Excellent movie, worth watching !!!

This movie caught me in the pit of my stomach from the beginning. The actors performed wonderfully. I recommend this movie to any and everyone. Disabilities do not define us and this young man proved it

such an inspiring story! Rickey Hill has such an indomitable spirit , incredible!
