Great family film.

Rating: 7/10 (20 July 2006)

This movie is your basic Disney formula where the main character has to overcome almost seemingly insurmountable obstacles in order to achieve their dream, greatness, and recognition. This is quite possibly the oldest story in the book, but Disney does it very well. I'm not at all entertained by the sport of golf, if 'sport' is what you want to call it; however, Shia LaBeouf actually gave an impressive performance considering his antics as Louis Stevens on The Disney Channel series Even Stevens. I hope to see more of him in the future with leading role. This film has a very heart warming touch and is perfect for quality time with family and friends, even if you think golf is a brainless activity.
