A classic

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2005)

This movie is undoubtedly - in my opinion - a classic. It shows Francis Ouimet's struggle to prove he can play well, and that class doesn't make you a better golfer. Yes, the movie did cliché a lot but, nowadays every movie has clichés in it, for its basically impossible to make a movie without one. There wasn't a single time in the movie when I dozed off or tuned out. Meaning, it kept me intrigued from beginning to end. When you saw Francis grow tense, you grew tense. And when you thought he'd pull out alright, he wouldn't make it. And vice versa. Even though you knew Francis was going to beat Harry, it still made my eyes teary when he became the US Open Champion. The Greatest Game Ever Played is a very well directed movie, and it's actors could play their part well. Snaps to Paxton!
