Hoovey

This movie is based on a true story! Very few people recover from a brain tumor the size of an orange to play a college sport again! Through faith, perseverance , and several miracles, Hoovey recovers to play college basketball scoring 30 points and the last second shot to win the game in the Division II playoffs in Chicago. In this movie the acting is superb! Cody Linley did an outstanding job of portraying the real Hoovey and what he went through to recover………….I should know ……..Hoovey is my Hero and my son!

This was a wonderful “feel good” movie. The music made the movie fabulous! This is a Christian move. Great for family night.

Showed this movie for our teen movie night. Kids ranged in age from 10-15. All really enjoyed this movie. The story line kept their interest. I enjoyed it as much as the young folks!! Great movie for family to watch together!!!

If I were a Hollywood producer and Mr. Amazon, a screen writer, had come to me with the story and wanted me to make a movie out of it, I would have said to him, "And after I buy this, what other "bridges" will you try to sell me". But, of course, I would have been wrong. You see, no one has to "suspend his disbelief" here. If you are doubtful of the story's veracity, think it is all made up, the subject of an imagination that focuses on the impossible, boy would you be wrong. See, all these feelings and opinions would be valid except that they are all verified at the end of the movie when the people all these things actually happened to are showcased and shown in motion and still pictures. They are real. The things depicted in the move really did happen to them. And the real people acted with the doubts, insecurity and, finally, the triumph of faith portrayed by the actors. You see, there is a deeper lesson here. A lesson that should cause us to lessen the doubts we may have when we hear of similar stories whether or not portrayed on film. If it really happened to Hoovey, why couldn't it happen to a little girl with a serious abdominal problem ("Miracles from Heaven") , or a family ravaged by the plague of addiction who find relief and comfort in places they never expected (quietly happening every day in ways we will never know). "Hoovey" sends a powerful message of faith, fortitude and confidence in a power greater than us. If it could happen to Hoovey (and it did), it could happen anywhere to anybody.

Great movie that is good for the entire family. Not only is it a good human interest story, but teaches many of life's lessons in a great way.. Solid acting and filming as well.

This is a great story about a basketball player and his problem.

Movie is very inspiring. Highly recommended!

I'm not a sports fan of any sort and had no intention of watching this movie when I got it for my son. However, I got drawn into the story and ended up enjoying the movie even more than my son did.

One can never be too young to inspire others to aspire to greatness.

What a wonderful movie. Your children play sports and you don't know what will happen. He over came it too after.

Great movie

Excellent movie!

Was a very touching story. Would recommend it for anyone to watch.
