Critics Consensus: Solid work from Dennis Quaid helps elevate The Hill, but this fact-based underdog drama is only intermittently inspirational.

Raven Brunner

The movie’s story is cliché and rather preachy, but it isn’t bad. Rickey’s story is important and engaging… whenever viewers aren’t being weighed down by the pastor’s repetitive prejudice against his family and community.

WTOP (Washington, D.C.)

Jason Fraley

As the stadium lights fade on a reconciled father and son like “Field of Dreams,” you can’t help but smile. Yes, it’s a “perfect” Hollywood ending, but call me a sucker for inspirational sports flicks. Turn off your brain and tap into your heart.

A true hero story. The fact that it's a little too long clearly hasn't bothered audiences. Didn't bother me either. Good family watch.

Sadly the script isn't interested in such a complicated legacy but is content with cliched scenes of the preacher father who doesn't understand his talented son despite everyone else believing in him.

“The Hill,” ultimately hits with power, but without finesse.
