AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
mbsd-1 This was a wonderful movie. Primarily due to Dorian Normand's wonderful performance as Snitch #2. My wife and I led an 8 week discussion group with some of our friends. There some heated battles resulting in several law suits and a divorce. However, everyone agreed on one thing: the plot followed the wrong hometown hero. Snitch #2's emotional growth receives almost no attention at all. He, of course, is instantly lovable, yet almost unknowable. Nonetheless, the year and a half I spent writing redrafts of the script in which Snitch #2 receives the recognition that he deserves was one of the best times of my life. No studios nor independent film makers were interested, but I felt like I had made a difference. I saw this movie in the afternoon. That evening I watched a performance of The Cherry Orchard with Peter O'Toole and Emma Thompson. I left at intermission.
gottafindnemo91 I thought Hometown legend was a really great movie. Although it and the town were both fictional, it truly captures the feelings about football in Alabama. It is life. Every Friday night, the whole town supports their team at the high school football field, no matter how small that town is or how bad their team really is. It's a great thing. I also thought the religion parts and especially Rachel's prayer in the beginning say it all. The two things in the South your mammas teach you to believe in are God and your high school football team. Everyone supports their team, and football is everything. The movie shows that wonderfully. It was a great movie, and really brings out the feeling of high school in a small town. Yes, the accents were a little extreme and fake at some points,(maybe I just notice it because I grew up in Athens?) but for the most part I loved it. I think whether you are from the south, are never have been here, I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone.
Youwish284 i have seen the movie and it was filmed in fairhope which isn't that far from where i live. Actually, they used one of my friends property,(well her grandfathers)and they actually filmed her and her sister as extras, but after watching the movie i think they cut them out, but still i thought it was really cool.
godsgirl425 I loved Hometown Legend. In fact my sister and brother are watching right now.. It is a very good and clean movie. I love Alabama and they give a good inpreation of it there. haha They directed it very well. I loved "Left Behind' and when I saw that the director from "Left Behind" directed it I knew I would like this movie. God Bless, Kathryn
