My Thoughts
Starring the incomparable Dennis Quaid, The Hill tells the true story of a young name named Ricky Hill and his father. The Hills came from a poor family and Ricky had a degenerative spinal disease that led to him needing leg braces, but although he didn't have much, he learned how to hit a ball and it changed is entire life. His dream was to join the big leagues as a baseball player but his father had other plans. He expected his son to follow in his footsteps and become a preacher. Although they initially butt heads, eventually his father learns that he has to let his son be his own man and follow his dreams.
This was a fantastic coming of age story perfect for the entire family. Overcoming both his disability and his father's doubts, he goes on to join the major leagues and becomes a baseball legend. Its truly an inspirational tale that teaches kids never to give up on their dreams. Whether you're a sports fan or looking for an exciting drama, this film has something for everything.
