Rally Caps

This sweet summer camp film with positive reinforcing messages feels like a labor of love.

"Rally Caps" teaches kids to recover from setbacks, to keep hope alive, and it features a fine performance from young, Charlie Brown-like Carson Minniear.

RALLY CAPS is funny, poignant and very entertaining. And its message of overcoming fear, acceptance and love is one that everyone can get behind. The entire family, including grandmas and grandpas, will adore RALLY CAPS.

A heartwarming family film for anyone who has ever played baseball. Or for anyone who watches baseball. Or anyone who just plain loves the game.

Director Lee Cipolla has made a sun-dappled film that occasionally dips a bit into darkness. While there are a few gags here and there, Cipolla has made a drama about a kid dealing with genuine anxiety.

It’s a delightful watch that leaves you with a smile and a renewed belief in the strength of the human spirit. It is lighthearted, fun, and, most importantly, deeply inspiring.

Considering how much of Cipolla’s film is about people metaphorically not listening to each other, the concept of perspective filtering courses through the film, making a typical adolescent sports film just a little richer in the process.

Leave to a little indie movie like this to demonstrate sports sensibilities with a heart taller than any MLB stadium or a studio film ten times its budget, where a hug is a bigger victory than any home run.

...delivers life lessons and positivity in generous amounts, filed alongside Children of a Lesser God and Coda as films that help us understand more about the importance of sound and hearing in our lives, and adding up to more than a single issue story...

Rally Caps is a compelling blend of heartwarming family film. [...] Lee Cipolla crafted a funny family film that deals with difficult themes and displays the intricacies of anxiety and trauma in a thoughtful and creative way.
