When was the moment I quit caring? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Rating: Null/10 (9 November 2000)

I can't remember the exact moment when I quit caring about this movie, these characters and the game of golf. I just remember yawning and looking at my watch as my mind begin to wander, no longer was I "in the moment".
The story and characters felt a bit underdeveloped and it was difficult to invest in any of it. It's too bad, because I think Matt Damon is a very talented actor.
Charlize Theron was alright, but not amazing. She didn't have much to work with either. The writing felt empty and predictable. There was barely any obstacles to overcome, no surprises. Every time Matt Damon would "lose his swing", Will Smith would give him some speech about golf and life and that would work for a little while. Then Damon would lose it again, and Will Smith would spout out another monologue. Oh wise one.
I'm sorry. It's golf. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
