Full disclosure, I had no expectations when watching this film and had a sick day from work and decided why not? Will I remember this movie a month from now? Probably not but it was entertaining enough. I think the plot has been done a couple too many times where an athlete falls on hard times and then needs help finding his way. This is a spoiler but I didn't like that he was one minute madly "move to Montana" in love with Ellie and then after he transfers schools within a matter of months he is making out with another girl. I felt like that romance was really forced. I like the filming sequences where he is running and Billy Crudup is great. I wouldn't watch it again but I would throw it in the Christian movie genre of Hallmark films where if you ever need kind of a pick-me-up movie this would do. No one particularly stands out and it falls flat many times. There was just a slight piece missing from making this a really good movie.

This is a really good film. Strong narrative, decent acting performances, likable and relatable characters, and decent production quality. 1 Mile to You joins a large number of films that combine a teen romance theme with a heartbreaking story, and this movie is one of the better examples despite its generally simpler narrative. If you're looking for something light and heartwarming, this film is an ideal choice for you.

This film tells the story of a high school athlete, who is especially talented and fit in running. His life is changed when his classmates and girlfriend dies in a traffic accident involving the school bus they are on."1 Mile to You" tells a story of personal growth through pain and hardship. Kevin is the star athlete but he seems to be throwing his talents away. Through the support of the new school, his mother and his new love interest, he stands up again and has a new goal to aim for. The ending is rather unexpected, but this twist quickly changes by another event that makes the film much happier. It is a quite a good film.

'1 Mile to you' tells the story of a young man who loses his friends in a bus accident and his journey to recovery after the event. Graham Rogers, Billy Crudup and the entire cast are outstanding and give wonderfully compelling and honest performances. So moving and brought me and the entire family to tears. The cinematography is outstanding (Gary Shaw who shot 'Moon' by Duncan Jones). Music by Paul Doucette (Member of the the band 'Matchbox 20') is amazing. Loved the music. This is not a film for the jaded or if your looking for something dark and ironic (Ie; the LATImes review calling it cluttered WHICH IT IS NOT). 'Run' to the theater!
