Customer Reviews of Stealing Home
Your Past Can Help Your Future Stealing Home is a movie that I initially watched with a lot of skepticism. The title led me to believe that it at least involves some baseball, which it does, so I decided to give it a try. Also I was never a big Jodie Foster fan. Without ever having seen one of her movies I just assumed that they were all chick flicks. I now know that that is not the case.
Mark Harmon plays an ex-pro baseball player who has been given the responsibility of finding a final resting place for the ashes of his childhood baby sitter/friend/older crush who has committed suicide. That part is played by Jodie Foster. The movie is essentially Harmon's character remembering his childhood from the time he's about 13 to when he has to make a decision on whether or not to go to college or turn pro. These memories are shown to the viewer as Harmon is traveling back to his family's home in Philadelphia.
This is really a story about finding your way in life. I think it tries to show that no matter how lost you may feel in the present, there is always a future for you so long as your alive.
A pleasant surprise for me....
Nothing much to add, as most reviewers have pointed out how "Stealing Home" came to touch our hearts in some way or another. Yet I want to express some of my feelings after watching this movie once again, this time on DVD. 1. The DVD itself kind of let me down due to its lack of so many features I'd expected (commentaries, producer's notes, deleted scenes etc...) Hopefully Warner Bros. will release a special or collector's edition to make up for that. 2. I may be wrong, but "Stealing Home" obviously tends to become a "classic" -- in the sense that it brings up a lot of memories or nostalgic sentiments to the viewer, just like what "Summer of '42" or "The Big Chill" always does to me. That being said, I got myself a pleasant surprise while going over all the reviews on Amazon.com and found one written by Katie Kampmann -- who played "baby Hope" and whom the main character played by Jodie Foster was actually named after. If this wonderful movie grows with the "real" Katie, well, it also grows with many other people -- no doubt about it. And whenever we feel lost in life ("... when things get confusing, and believe me Billy, they will"), we can always go back to the treasure chest of our memories to find a mystical face or smile that'd give us the strength to move on in the right direction...
sad but happy beautiful movie
the story of a man named billy wyatte and how since his childhood, his childhood babysitter and life long best friend katie chandler has been the one person whos known what he is and has always been there to make sure hes reminded. they absentmindedly fall into their own livelyhoods and drift apart, katie into 2 failed marriages and billy into a short time in the minor leagues and then into a worthless life without much to live for. This is all suddenly changed when billy gets a phone call that katie was found dead from a suicide at the beach house theyd shared their memories at since they were kids. Billy is resposible for her ashes but to know what he should do with them hes going to have to go back to his memories to find katie again.
