Miles from Nowhere (Chasing a Dream) 2009


Miles from Nowhere


     Cam Stiles has been playing football for years and he has a chance for a college scholarship because of his skills.  Gary, his dad has been his high school coach and Gary feels this is the only way they will be able to afford college for Cam.  John, Cam’s best friend is a runner, he’s focused, determined and really good.  Cam talks John into going to a party, he doesn’t want to go because he doesn't want to drink and he has training in the morning.  They lie to their parents and say they are going to a movie.  A local police officer calls Gary because he thinks members of the football team are drinking at a party.  John left the party early and a car on the road hits him as he’s walking home.  Cam is devastated and he believes it is his fault John is hurt.
     This is a good story with good lessons in life for teens.  Mistakes can have very severe consequences and they can change your life permanently.  3 ½* (I liked this movie)
