geraldrgreene Great Film period. Long reviews are not necessary. Just watch it .

evkells In my many years of film watching I've never come across a that was quite underrated as this one. through and through this movie is one of my favorites. From the setting, to the plot, to the cast in this movie I could sit down and watch over and over. all though this movie may seem just like another feel good sports movie about golf, but it is so much more. A movie set in the depression era showing the struggles of all types of men/women dealing with family, financial, and even post world war traumas. This star studded cast of Matt Damon, Will Smith, and Charlize Theron in there prime, along with a great supporting cast, makes this movie enjoyable for any type of movie fan. Of all my favorite movies, a lot of which are more widely agreed upon as classics, this movie is the diamond in the rough (no pun intended). I can't tell you how many times I've tried to pass this movie along to friends cause I know everyone will love it. If I had a dollar for every person who I've asked if they have seen it and them never of even heard of it, id use that movie to buy advertisement across the country to try and spread awareness of how great this movie is. In the mean time this will have to do. hopefully you take my advice and watch. I also advise you to try and see the deeper, underlying meaning throughout the movie and not focus on the golf as the major story. 10/10. Enjoy.

tonynace This could have been a better movie, but this cast doesn't pull it off. Will Smith will never be an actor, only a personality, yet we keep seeing him foisted on audiences. His portrayal of a mystical golf guru coming out of nowhere is simply not believable. Matt Damon and Charlize Theron have a fair amount of talent, but this movie does not bring it out of them. Their characters act like stock characters out of central casting, and the result is a boring, plodding film in which you can't wait to reach the end. The film is well done on the technical end with beautiful scenes of the golf course and surrounding areas, but that does not make up for a poor script and uninspired acting. Not one of Redford's best efforts, as I've seen much better from him in the past and know he can do better.

Lefthand_kid23 To start off, I have NEVER written a review before. This movie, however, was honestly SO much more than I expected I could not help but write one -- and I truly believe this is a movie everyone should see. This movie is inspiring and speaks millions to overcoming the adversities of life. Just as golf is a game, so is life -- to some extent -- and cannot be won, but merely played.People that didn't like this movie obviously didn't think deep enough to realize how symbolic it truly is. Having had some rough patches in life myself this movie spoke deeply to me as I'm sure it will to many who see it. Don't pass on this movie by its lower rating. I'm generally a person who only watches movies 7 and up, but I am so glad I chose to watch this. I RARELY give movies a 10/10. I'm telling you though -- this movie deserves it.
