A Gentleman's Game (2001)

Classy, funny, warm and important.

A terrific movie with everything one could hope for and expect. I liked this movie for it's realism. They threw thr "F" word around a bit deliberately poking fun at movies with gratuitous foul language, I found it apprpriate. Very entertaining, describing golf well and making very good suggestions about life-decisions, I love this movie and highly recommend it. May 4, 2008

Half of a Good Movie

The first half starts to tell a good golf story. But somewhere on the way to a good movie the need to make the point that all rich people are basically evil gets in the way. The second half of the movie just made me shake my head with how bad a movie can be when scoring political points becomes the objective. June 6, 2007

A terrible movie

If this director was trying to see how many ugly stereotypes he could cram into 111 minutes I think he succeeded. If you want to see a golf movie see any of the Bobby Jones flicks or better yet get some clubs and learn this wonderful game. You'll meet great folks whether its public or club golf.

A lesson of life!

Amateur is according the Greek meaning: all those who love what they do .
And somehow the spirit of constant and ascendant improving established the difference in Foster that day when the cheat was done. He imposed to himself the maximum penalty to finish with that hard and unbearable memories.
But when he watches that young promise who tries by all means to get close him and knowing about him, he will feel the last call and something inside him it will awake.
This slow paced but interesting script is a lesson of life, the constancy, tenacity and work ness will never lead you to a dead zone. Something is watching you and sooner or later the truth will shine.
Along the film there are another secondary lines that support the script: the caddy world, the racism and the secret passions. Splendid photography and a brilliant performance of Gary Sinise and Phillip Baker Hal confer this movie an artistic status.

what about the other kid in the movie ! ! ! ? ?

all things aside, the other kid in the movie the caddie friend that has the episode at the end [stated this way without ruining the ending]played a great part as a supporting actor. his name is justin goncalves i think. this kid was very believable in every aspect of the part he played. in fact i think he stole the scenes when he was onscreen with the gamble kid. believability is important and this kid carried his weight the entire movie for what limited scenes he had. i was particularly impressed with the part he played.
