One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

I don't want to say too much but I had high hopes based upon the synopsis, however, it turns out to be flat and exceedingly lackluster,I even tried during the movie, to work out what it is that makes a good premise go so wrong. No one is convincing, least of all the autistic boy (they just don't say please or thank-you, all the boys I have ever worked with have no social awareness at all). The other boys just do not have a natural relationship with one another, it feels like they are just waiting for the lines to be said before speaking their own. I felt it was a Christian apology gone way way wrong. Its hollow and could have been so deep.Shame. I am an avid fan of family films and there are some great movies out there but unfortunately this is not one of them.

This film gives a voice to the autistic community as unique as those affected by the impairment. Not everyone communicates the same way, but everyone has a gift to share. Children, especially those who don't communicate in the traditional sense, should be nurtured and accepted for the talents and gifts they possess."Season of Miracles" celebrates that. In a time when bullying is such an issue, this film promotes friendship and camaraderie in kids through their love of baseball.Don't miss this film, both for its entertainment quality and teachable moments.

....too close to call. While presenting what is, potentially, a heart-warming story, this film falls flat on it's face with some of the worst directing and acting I've subjected myself to in years. Despite such great potential, the abysmally movie, is full of lackluster scenes and poorly edited, grade school performances. While I generally afford a lot more patience with new, young actors, this was simply painful to watch. Without waving my flag and getting emotionally caught up in the 'It's Americana so it must be brilliant' mindset,there is no part of this 119 minute snooze-fest with any memorable moments, besides the final credits.

Season of Miracles is true Americana ... Baseball, Friends, Family and Faith. An autistic boy named Rafer, played by actor Grayson Russell, joins the mediocre Robins, a little league baseball team, for their 1974 season in Alabama. Little did the team know that he would end up changing their lives forever. The kids deal with their bully rivals, the Hawks, and stand up for Rafer who can't defend himself. I found myself laughing, crying and cheering right along with their families and Coach, played by John Schneider, all the way home. The story by Rusty Whitener is wonderful and the production is well done. Season of Miracles is a must see movie with lots of teachable moments.
