SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

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.

leblumax Better off reading the book if you want the story.The football scenes looked like a bunch of JR High kids. Slow and sloppy.Also, realizing telling the whole story would have taken 4 hours at the pace of this movie, there was WAY TOO much left out and to the imagination.I absolutely LOVED the book, but was bored silly during the whole movie after the first 10 minutes which I admit did choke me up. But if I hadn't read the book even that would have bored me. I would still have thought it was a poor to only OK movie.

pyrah_of_fires_realm I thought this movie was pretty good for the budget they had to work with. I live near where some of the movie was filmed. You know that scene in the beginning with the guy jumping over the fence? That was on my Uncle's property in Robertsdale. Some of the Cafe scenes were also filmed in Robertsdale at Mac and Jerry's. The filming people even left some of the props they brought in back of Mac and Jerry's. It's kind of weird living right down the road from where some of this movie was filmed. Hometown Legend is a decent, family friendly movie that deserves to be seen. All in all, I really enjoyed it, and am glad that I bought it.

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.
