1/10

In the recently released 2024 film "You Gotta Believe," Luke Wilson takes on the lead role in a faith-based baseball movie that falls short of expectations. The title misleads viewers into thinking it's a feel-good underdog sports story, but instead, it veers into unnecessary comedy that detracts from the emotional depth it aims to achieve. Wilson's casting as the lead feels out of place, his comedic nature overpowering any attempts at drama. The rushed plot fails to properly develop the characters or storyline, leaving the audience disconnected from the narrative. The lack of originality in casting and character development further hampers the film's impact, with forgettable performances across the board. The film's attempt at incorporating faith-based elements feels forced and lacks sincerity, with a brief moment of spiritual reflection overshadowed by the overall tone of the movie. Inconsistencies, such as Wilson's character failing to realistically portray his battle with cancer, further highlight the film's shortcomings. Overall, "You Gotta Believe" struggles to find its footing, wavering between genres and failing to deliver a cohesive and compelling story. With its poorly executed writing and lackluster performances, the film ultimately falls short of being a memorable or meaningful viewing experience.
