inspiration for the true golf fan and playerGood 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. March 27, 2008
Great movie, and very inspiring
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". March 12, 2008
Great even if you don't care for golf
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. March 9, 2008
Love This Movie
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. March 4, 2008
Why mess with the ending?
A great movie I saw on cable and was ready to buy to watch again when I went to the US Open site and saw that Ouimet did win the playoff but not by a hanging put on 18. Why can't Hollywood believe that we appreciate reality and don't need a phony finale. They are just like the club members who offered his 10-year-old caddie (really) money for him to change caddies...if that was real! February 22, 2008
