 Bobby Jones, Stroke of Genius January 27, 2007

A great golf film ... if one loves golf you have to enjoy this movie ... the critics bashed it for the usual reasons .. story line, acting, etc., and true, there are NO car chases or car crashes, no buildings get blown up, and there are few if any four letter words ... but a very enjoyable movie .... which the whole family can watch in comfort ... highly recommended for the golf "nut" in the family.

Excellent movie; my husband and I already owned the movie. Being raised in a golfing family (my dad and his brothers played with Sam Snead when they were kids), and went to see Bobby Jones play. We are golf fanatics, and have always been great fans of Bobby Jones. This movie is a very realistic interpretation of his life. I bought another copy to give to my remaining uncle (he's 90!) and he has watched it 5 times since we gave it to him. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in a TRUE legend of golf whose talent outshines all there is today. Jim Caviezel gave a spectactular performance!

Sports and movies - should be a PERFECT combination. Especially a story of a true sportsman, a true gentleman of the game, someone who loved to play the game for the game itself.
But this movie doesn't spend enough time telling us about the real Bobby Jones. It leaves us hanging and wondering. There is one point where he is playing with a woman golfer and she is refered to as his girlfriend - WHERE DID THAT COME FROM? At another point, he is in the hospital, temporarily banned from the game. Then flip to him writing a letter of apology, then flip to him playing golf. Well what happened to the hospital stay? What happened to his ailment? How did he get better, is it a long time/term disability? Later, he and his wife are arguing over him going to another tournament and then PRESTO there they both are at the match.
Scenery - beautiful. Story - while interesting it leaves viewer disappointed. It should just be, could just be so much more.
