Dead Solid Perfect (1988)

A down-on-his-luck golf pro struggles to find his game both on and off the golf course, since his long-suffering wife has just about had it.

Best Golf Movie Ever

This is, quite simply, the best golf movie ever made. Yes, it is low budget in the early days of HBO films, but it is a well-acted, well-written movie. Randy Quaid turns in a brilliant performance. The supporting cast is equally skilled. The writing is superb. This movie OUGHT to be released on DVD. A better cast, top to bottom, than Tin Cup (with apologies to Cheech Marin). THE golf movie.

Dead Solid Perfect

Best golf movie ever made. Very faithful to Dan Jenkins book. Golf scenes are realistic (much better than Tin Cup). I would love to see it out on dvd, have been looking for it for years. September 20, 2007

golf life as it used to be

As a former tour player now out of the game, this film captures alot of what the PGA tour used to be. The race to "Monday Qualifiers" by what we were referred to as "rabbits" was filled with alot of the shenanigans this movie portrays. I'm sure the PGA wasn't especially thrilled with the movie, but this system produced greats like Trevino, Rodriguez, and many more. Would love to see this movie out in DVD (haven't owned a VCR in years)soon! As per other reviews, B movie with great content and storyline. Would by 10 DVD's for gifts for my golfing buddies!

"You always were a silly old romantic, Spec."

I wrote HBO pictures a few years ago begging for a DVD release, and still we're forced to wait, and wait, and wait.

This is the quintessential golf movie. While I enjoyed Tin Cup, it was nowhere near as engaging as Dead Solid Perfect. This movie is very different than Caddyshack and equally as funny in parts.

Caddyshack's poking fun at the country club lifestyle and Dead Solid Perfect's views of being a PGA touring professional in the 80s are worlds apart, but the golf is what matters here.

DVD cannot come soon enough. If you play golf and don't find yourself quoting this movie to your buddies on the golf course, something is definitely wrong. Buy it on VHS if you have to, you will not be disappointed. April 13, 2006

Corinne Bohrer alone is worth the price of admission

I haven't seen this VHS product, but I've seen the movie on cable TV. It's not the greatest movie, though it has its moments. The saving grace is that Corinne Bohrer is gorgeous in it. But I'm kind of biased. I've always been a Corinne Bohrer fan.
