Summary: Hometown Legend is without a doubt!
Review: I'll keep this short, if I can. This is an excellent movie, and whoever wrote a bad review doesn't know a good movie from a hole in the ground. Terry O'Quinn and Lacey Chabert gave excellent performances, and the music was phenomenal. I love this movie and recomend everyone to see it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Good Family Movie.
Review: I'll keep this simple folks. In a world filled with junk movies, this one is refreshing. Along with the fine soundtrack, the film has a positive spiritual message that is not overbearing and everyone can appreciate. It's a great way to spend a couple of hours with the whole family. My friends like it too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hometown Legend
Review: I'm a big Lacey Chabert fan, but I hate football. I decided to watch this movie in spite of the football theme. I'm so glad I Did! This movie was so fantastic that I enjoyed it in spite of the football. I was glad to see a film where people actually had morals, and teen vocabularies didn't consist of four-letter words. Ms. Chabert was so good in this movie, she could have easily carried the movie herself, but the rest of the cast were excellent too, so she didn't need to. This is a moive the whole family can watch together. See the movie and tell everyone about it. Maybe there can be a sequil. To Mr. Dallas Jenkins and company--keep up the good work.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie!
Review: I'm pretty critical of movies, but this movie definitely ranked as a 5-star movie for me! It's got great moral fiber throughout, has a compelling storyline, great character development, and has a great--but not unrealistic, sugar-coated--ending.

My favorite lines from the movie are when Elvis (the star football player) and the Christian girl who is paired up with him to pray for him are at her house together.

Elvis says, "I'm surprised your dad trusts me to be alone with you."

She responds, "He doesn't. He trusts *me*."

She's a character I hope will inspire my own daughter when she hits her teenage years. I'm definitely buying a copy of this movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Uniforms
Review: I'm the producer of the film, and while I don't mind negative reviews, I do want to say that the uniforms were real, and the football players were real. And we did have people in the stands. Just FYI.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Family Movie
Review: If you are looking for a Great Family Movie This is the one.
It was lots of fun being on the sets and looking at the places around my home town where it was made and meeting the actors and Lacey Chabert. This movie I give two thumbs up.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie
Review: If you are looking for a great movie, with great values, then Hometown Legend is the movie you are looking for. It has a powerful message, yet it is entertaining at the same time. You don't find to many movies like this anymore.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Remember The Titans (LIGHT)!
Review: If you have seen Remember The Titans, this movie is similar, but doesn't have the same UMPHHH... The movie has some good acting, some good dialogue, and a interesting storyline, but the crowds and background scenes lack the professional Hollywood character.

The best thing about this movie is that you can watch it with the WHOLE family - young, old, in between, Christian, atheist, or any sports fan can enjoy this movie while sitting together. It has a universal appeal, with only a few scenes being over-acted by the cast.

All in all, pretty good film. Just not as good as Remember The Titans.

Summary: Legend, A Well-Made Family Pic
Review: Jenkins Entertainment is going to do well, because on their first attempt they have risen above the stereotypical "ho-hum" of many Christian movies of the past. Dallas Jenkins (son of Jerry B. Jenkins of Left Behind fame) has put a first class work together that any Christian should be proud to show his secular friends.

Terry O'Quinn puts on a stellar performance as the 12-year-removed high school football coach who comes back for one last hurrah. The town of Athen, Alabama is on its last leg. The school will be closing after this school year. Moral is low, and the school's football team, the Crusaders, is an assemblage of "me, myself & I" types who've come together for one last grab at town's Jack Schuler Memorial Scholarship to attend the famed University of Alabama.

This movie captures, very well, the devisiveness of the all-for-myself attitude and shows what it means to come together as a team. Parents with kids playing sports should get this video in front of them so they can see what can happen when minds and hearts change.

An intersting aspect of this movie is the ending (Don't worry, no spoiler here). Just when you think you know where this movie is headed, the last 20-25 minutes steers you to a different realization.

Way to go, Jenkins Entertainment, for giving us a quality movie that will be loved for years to come.
