Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Vishal Chaudhary Don't know why they don't usually give the Oscar to this types of movies???but this One of my favorite movieIt's certainly eligible and this movie was a fluff feel-good movie for Christmas and if it were nominated, it would be picked for Best Picture. Besides, that category is generally reserved for serious dramas.Anyway great job done the Miller brothers cheers (:o))Good luck for future stay happy n healthy (:o)Two Thumbs Up (:o))

flinched For me this movie is a hit or miss. The pitch is coming towards the hitter and anything is possible.Ed Harris plays the father of two boys who grow up with major league baseball dreams, only to have them crushed by their father who's alcohol problem seems to stem from, well, I don't know, it's never really dealt with. The boys are inexorably tied up with their father's problems. But what those problems stem from is anybody's guess. There's no big speech, no big explanation, no big scene which is standard in drama's like these where the characters come together, yell, and either sort things out for the better or make them worse.If the directors/writers/producers, who are two brothers who have some personal and family stake in the film, since they dedicated it to their father, if they just went into a little more depth with the Harris character and use his acting abilities even more, maybe deal with the psychological problems that make him drink, then this movie would have been substantially better. Instead, all we see him do is drink, then not drink for awhile, then drink some more, without any rhyme or reason as to the cause.Things go well for the boys for awhile, then bad, good again, then bad, were perpetually going back and forth from balls to strikes with no in depth pitch to drive the audience home. Were left with a full count, the pitch heading towards the batter, is he gonna hit it, is he gonna miss, and then..........the end. How we got to that point in the game, the hit, runs, errors, everything before and in between that all led us to this movie, were just not told. Watching just the end of a game is not as exciting as watching it all the way through.

TaminatorSF I was lucky enough to get a last minute screening through Yelp.The movie "Touching Home" is almost as reflective as the vision of Delancey Street Foundation where the screening took place. The 2 brothers' father was an alcoholic and had struggled to fight to life's end. Their respect and a way of self-healing by making and devoting this movie to their father, as well as the in-person interview show how much they are still down to earth and in touch with their true selves.While some parts were modified to fit the budget and for other reasons, it was very, very touching and the essence is kept.Kudos to the 2 brothers' acting. While it appears they were just being themselves, it must be difficult to re-enact and to re-live those difficult times over and over again during the shooting.Even the movie has been screened at different times and parts of the country, the brothers were candid at the post screening with a great sense of humor. And as the 2 brothers said, everyone can somehow relate to their story, that many know someone with addictions.The Miller writers / actors / directors / fund raisers talked about their real lives throughout the times that were being portrayed as well as their adventure of how they got to show the script to the future casts. Their tale did not end with the movie. Their tryout and fund raising were especially interesting and inspiring. One will soon realize that while without a degree, without being able to have a lifetime career in a professional sport, an alternative path of life, dreams to become directors and writers are possible by reading the how-to books and being persistent and not giving up.

dinger1985 I went to this film thinking I was going to see a movie about brothers trying to play baseball in the majors, but the film is much deeper than that and blew me away. Although there is a baseball theme in the film, the film is more focused on the brothers returning to their home town and dealing with their father, who is a homeless alcoholic. The adversity that these brothers faced while growing up is truly inspiring because they are so upbeat and determined to reach their goals. I'm truly grateful that I was able to attend their screening, see them in person, and to observe that they are happy people because I am still shocked by how much they have overcome. If more people had the same determined outlook that these brothers have at reaching their American Dream, our country would be a lot more successful. I would also recommend reading their book "Your Either In or In the Way" because it divulges even deeper into their lives, and describes all of the obstacles they had to face to create this film, the biggest ones being that they had no experience in the film industry as directors, writers, or actors, zero industry connections, and no money. I plan on seeing this film again when in comes out at the end of April, and I definitely will be bringing some tissues for the waterworks.
