If you’re looking for a family friendly movie to watch this summer, I recommend The Hill. I got to watch an advanced personal screener and it’s the type of movie I love watching with my family. Of course, we are big baseball fans which is one of the reasons I enjoyed the movie but even if you aren’t a huge sports fan, there’s really something for everyone — it’s inspirational and there’s a bit of a love story thrown in there for good measure!
Here’s a synopsis of the movie:
This remarkable true-life story of Ricky Hill’s improbable journey to play Major League Baseball is an inspiration. It stars Dennis Quaid as James Hill Colin Ford as Rickey Hill, Joelle Carter as Hellen Hill, Rickey’s mother, Randy Houser as Ray Clemons, a man from Rickey’s childhood who encourages him to try out for the MLB, Jesse Berry as young Rickey Hill, Bonnie Bedelia, and Scott Glenn as Red Murff, the MLB scout who discovers Rickey.
Rickey is the son of a impoverished pastor. He was born with physical limitations but he didn’t let that or his upbringing stop him from dreaming of not only playing the game he loved but of playing it in the big leagues.
The Hill is only in theaters starting August 25th but tickets are on sale now. Visit https://www.thehillmov.com/ to purchase your tickets today! You can watch the trailer here.
