Why so much hype?

Lack of good storyline.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

At first I wasn't sure that I would have anything to relate to with Terry Hitchcock, thinking that he was some gold medal marathon runner of some sort...Why would I want to watch a movie about a marathon runner, what's so special about that?? Well...I came to find out that he was actually just like me...Someone who has never ran a marathon in his life (except for maybe the once or twice he came in last place in a couple of local marathons).My Run is a story about an ordinary man who did something great. An inspiring story showing how a person can turn their seemingly unfortunate situations (like his wife passing away from breast cancer at a young age and having to raise his three children alone) and bringing the good to the situation, not only bettering his life but touching all of the lives around him. The director Tim VandeSteeg really knows how to bring you into this person's story and make you leave feeling like you left with something that will forever stick with you, inspiring you days after leaving the theater. One of the better documentaries I've seen. You'll be cheering Terry Hitchcock on every step of his run.

I am so glad that I had the wonderful opportunity to take in "MY RUN" last night. This film, first and foremost, is not a "running" film, it's a "LIFE" film. I am afraid that a lot of people will think that they have to be interested in running or be a runner to appreciate this wonderful work. Those that do will miss out.Terry is so genuine, and engaging, that you want him to succeed from the very beginning. It has a powerful and important message and hopefully will inspire people to share their talents and gifts and become a "hero to someone".Anyone who has faced a challenge that they thought was insurmountable should see "MY RUN". I applaud Terry and his family for sharing this with us and trying to shed a spotlight on what single parents and their children go through every day.After you see it, tell someone about it. "MY RUN" needs to be seen. It's message is very relevant and deserving of greater attention.Thanks Terry!!

Terry Hitchcock's story is a story about a very sincere and good family man who despite doctors, friends, the media and everyone else in between telling him he couldn't do the run, Terry believed in himself and did the run for single parent families at all costs.It is a true story of trials and tribulations of Terrys personal and business life.Imagine running from Minneapolis to Atlanta...2,000 miles on foot. Terry tells the story of that journey and the cool people he met and things he saw along the way.Terry strikes me as a guy who doesn't just talk the talk... he walks the walk.. He says "Nothing is impossible" and proved it in his own life before telling others they can do the same.This is a heartfelt, emotional and truly inspirational clean and family friendly movie I will be buying it when the DVD comes out!

I saw this documentary at the Mammoth Film Festival and loved it! It was moving, inspirational, and authentic. The story of Terry and his family is compelling from the very first frame; from the story of how he and his wife met, to heartbreak, to triumph. And just watching Terry complete a marathon each day was enough to make my knees hurt. As a (former) long distance runner myself, I was truly awed by Terry's will and devotion. In a way, he's a real life Forrest Gump. The filmmakers utilize video footage from his marathon-ing days as well as present day interviews. I believe the film is just beginning it's festival run, so try and catch it if it plays in your city!
