Alice I @RT37717395 5 days ago Hoovey is a very nice movie which tells a story about faith, and the strength of family. It shows how Hoovey facing a life changing challenge and his family continues to support him through every difficult moment. His basketball carrier kept on going journey and this teaches to never give up no matter what life throws our way and always stand for each other. Definitely worth watching with family and friends It leaves you feeling encouraged about life.

Hoovey recovers from his tumor to play basketball, but nobody really seems to care. See more R C @originalsalt Oct 4, 2023 An uplifting movie about a high school kid who battles through a brain tumor. Not a spoiler alert. It's in the film description! Watch if you're in the mood for something inspirational, family-oriented and faith-based. See more Dec 9, 2021 Not the greatest acting, but the story really holds together. True story. Worth watching. Leaves you with a feel good feeling. Nice watching actual family photos at the end of the movie. See more Jul 20, 2019 interesting and uplifting Christian story based on real life family See more Feb 1, 2018 Touching. Interesting casting. Nice seeing Hannah Montana kid being mostly serious. Nice film I guess, over all. I just like true, inspirational sports stories. I did fall asleep during it though. So I think I missed an important plot point or two. But it was REALLY late @ night so...anyway...this review deviates from the main point, lol. I'm done. Good-ish job Pure-Flix? Hollywood-Whoever??! See more Read all reviews
