Where Hope Grows

2014 · 1h 35m · Drama

IMDb 6.6 Metacritic 41 RT 54%

The scores tell you everything: this is a well-intentioned but predictable feel-good drama that doesn't quite earn its emotional beats. Skip it unless you're desperate for a safe, by-the-numbers inspirational story—there are better films out there tonight.

Plot

Calvin Campbell is a former professional baseball player sent to an early retirement due to his panic attacks at the plate. Even though he had all the talent for the big leagues, he struggles with the curveballs life has thrown him. Today, he mindlessly sleepwalks through his days and the challenge of raising his teenager daughter. His life is in a slow downward spiral when it is suddenly awakened and invigorated by the most unlikely person – Produce, a young-man with Down syndrome who works at the local grocery store.
