| | "THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED" | RJMFWINE 04/04/2007 | I HAVEN'T SEEN SUCH A GOOD "G" MOVIE FOR SOMETIME. BASED ON THE REAL STORY, NOT BEING A "GOLFER," I FOUND THIS MOVIE TO HAVE "DRAMA, SUSPENSE AND IT LEAVES YOU WITH A WARM FUZZY FEELING."
WHY CAN'T HOLLYWOOD MAKE DECENT MOVIES LIKE THIS ONE. NO WONDER I REFUSE TO SPEND A SINGLE CENT TO GO TO THE MOVIES. I MUCH RATHER WATCH "THE BEST OF BROADWAY" SHOWS IN SAN FRANCISCO (MUSICALS AND DRAMA'S), THAN THE OVERPRICED GARBAGE NOW FILLING THEATER SCREEN. NOW I HAVE TO ORDER A COPY OF THIS MOVIE FOR MY VIDEO FILE.
SHIA LaBOEUF BRINGS TO THE SCREEN THE HUMILITY ASSOCIATED WITH HIS CHARACTER. BEING A GUY, I DON'T USUALLY DO NOT EMOTE, BUT THIS MOTION PICTURE BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES. |
| | MHannigan 02/15/2007 | | One of top three sports movies ever made, along with Seabiscuit and Miracle. Congratulations to Bill Paxton, Stephen Dillane, Shia LaBoeuf, et al. The golf looks pretty authentic to me and the photography is absolutely gorgeous. |
