Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

richard-1787 There isn't really much of anything to this movie. It reminded me of the sort of made-for-TV movies that used to be featured on the Hallmark Hall of Fame years ago. It's a touching story of twin brothers who want to break into professional baseball. But baseball is not the focus of this movie. Rather, it's their relationship with their alcoholic father, who, when he isn't spending money on alcohol, is losing it at cards.Not an angry drunk, just a sad one.There just isn't much of anything to this movie. The script is flat, so there isn't much in the way of opportunities to act. Other than Ed Harris, I don't know if any of the other actors could act if they had been called upon to do so. They weren't, so I can't say.The one thing I found strange was the homoerotic undertone of much of the movie. Maybe they were just aiming at a teenage girl market - though I can't see how; women play no important part in this picture - but there were a lot of scenes of the two leads, young men with athletic torsos, without their shirts on. Sometimes, when they got angry, they fought or wrestled. One of the two had no interest in women at all, the other only a passing interest in his seldom-seen girlfriend. But I don't think the movie was made for a gay market either.Actually, I'm not sure what sort of audience it was made for. Certainly not an audience interested in baseball.And that's about all I can think to say about this movie. I can't think whom I could recommend it to.

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))

scwproducer I'd read the Miller brothers book (YOU'RE EITHER IN, OR YOU'RE IN THE WAY), when it first came out a few months ago and have been itching to see their film ever since. I was finally able to catch the film at a wonderful sneak preview screening, in the awesome Smith Rafael Film Center. And I was even able to chat with the filmmakers afterward. What a treat!The Miller brothers have created a work of art out of literally nothing. As a feature film producer myself, I know what kind of determination and stamina this takes and my hat goes off to them for a job (extremely) well done. The long hours, sleepless nights, anxiety and frustration all becomes worth it, when you sit in the theater and see your finished product screened before an audience.Ed Harris was remarkable (as always), the story was simple yet complex and emotionally poignant. The cinematography was beautiful and subtle. I liked that it wasn't over stylized and just allowed the characters and their journey to be the main focal point of the film. TOUCHING HOME is a great little 'slice of life' movie, that touches the heart and speaks eloquently to the depth of human relationships and loss.I hope that this calling card piece ignites the careers of these talented guys. Bravo to the entire cast/crew!

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.
