Watch Hometown Legend For Free

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

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 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 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.

Received the DVD as a Christmas present, and only have one complaint (and it's not even the movie's fault) -- I wish the aspect ratio were widescreen. A movie as inspirational as this deserves that "big screen" look, especially for the numerous (and well shot) football sequences. Funny that the trailer appears to be widescreen. Hmmm.Well acted, and believable, there were several touching moments in the various character's journeys. Lacey Chabert and Nick Cornish have a good on screen chemistry, while Terry O'Quinn is perfect as the perfectionist coach. I thought I could predict how everything would turn out. I was wrong -- and I love that in a movie!Also nicely done: the background score. (Wish the audio was 5.1, but the Dolby Pro Logic was quite adequate). Dan Haseltine and Joe Hogue are to be congratulated on creating a nice "high school" feel during the many action sequences. The quiet scenes are are rendered nicely, reminding me of the excellent score from "Remember the Titans".For it's sound focus on quality drama, moving moments, great sport shots and without trashy language, I highly recommend this film.
