Basically - two long golf games ...

Rating: Null/10 (3 November 2006)

This was a nice movie. Basically it consists of watching a couple of long golf games. Shia LaBeouf and Josh Flitter (who comes in later in the movie) are a likable team and are fun to watch as they are up against some very high-end players.
There is some character development/background but most of the movie consists of watching golf play. It is very similar to watching a boxing movie - you just sort of sit and watch them do their thing and compete for a while. It's kind of interesting but not for everyone.
One interesting aspect of the movie was the graphic depiction of how stress and pressure was affecting the players' minds. I haven't seen this done very often in sports movies so it was a nice touch.
If you're a Shia fan or golf enthusiast, this movie would probably be of interest. Not for everyone.
