Where Hope Grows
Calvin Campbell is a former professional baseball player forced into early retirement by panic attacks at the plate. Though he possessed big-league talent, he now grapples with the curveballs life keeps throwing him. He drifts through his days in a sleepwalking haze, confronting the challenges of raising his teenage daughter. His downward spiral is suddenly jolted and reinvigorated by an unlikely catalyst: Produce, a young man with Down syndrome who works at the local grocery store.

> An inspiring theme, but too much of cinematic than realistic. I came across after an unexpected glance at its inspiring title, and a good looking poster. But it is just a hit and miss. First, I wanted to clear the view whether it was a religious related subject or simply an inspiring movie. The answer is merely yes to the second one. Because it was a brilliant platform that failed desperately with all the usual cliches. For the normal people, it might be an uplifting flick. But for the movie fanatics, it is one of those attempts from their watch that terribly fallen short. No doubt, it is a good theme, a little boring as well to see the same old formula with the new cast. In the end it did not work for me. The way it handled to solve the personal and social issues that depicted in the film characters is not persuasive. The twist at the end was the dumbest one. I can't understand why a movie like this need one. Those are for the smartest scripts and this one should have focused more on the friendship and father-daughter relationship rather trying to imitate the commercial films. Though the actor did well, and the production design was way better than many mainstream films from the recent time. Definitely a go for it, but what do you expect from it will decide how much you're going to like it. 6/10
