 Why buy a movie about golf? May 24, 2008
Can a movie about golf be that good? I wondered that too--until I watched it. It is more than "that good." While it's no Chariots of Fire, it's has the same genes. Rich, inspiring, motivating, and even family-friendly. That's a rare combination. It's about virtues such as working toward a goal you believe in, tenacity, courage, and humility. It's about integrity. It won't necessarily make you want to play golf; but it may make you want to take the high road through life. Worth owning.
 inspiration for the true golf fan and player March 27, 2008
Good family entertainment and an inspiration for golf fans or players. Have watched it twice while my son, who has just taken up golf has watched it 4-5 times.
Great movie, and very inspiring March 12, 2008
This is one of those stories that makes you feel good, and is filled with inspiration and hope. This movie is great for almost any age, entertaining, and even a bit educational (economic-class discrimination, and common attitudes pertaining social-order at that time, are highlighted). Overall, a big thumbs-up for this movie -- a good, inspiring, family film that basically says "follow your heart".
Great even if you don't care for golf March 9, 2008

This is an uncomplicated and pleasant movie that gives you a little bit of everything: Comedy, drama, class clash, romance, father/son struggle and a feel good ending. The acting was perfect by all, especially the kid caddy who deserves an oscar for his comical and endearing performance. He had us laughing out loud everytime he opened his mouth.
Great for kids too - there is no gratuitous sex, violence or langauge.
Even if golf isn't your "thing" (it's certainly not mine!), I think you will enjoy this emminantly likeable movie.
Love This Movie March 4, 2008

What a wonderful movie. The photography, the story, the character and acting. I am not a big golfing fan but the storyline is a "you can do it!" and entertaining for the whole family. Stephen Dillane does an excellent job, as usual. The animated golf ball to make you feel you are with the ball in the air is awesome. Wonderful creativity to move you through the game. And bringing a happy tear in the ending tops it off for me.
