Not The Natural, but getting close.

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2001)

Wanna watch a movie that brings in the family in droves? This has gotta be it.
(spoilers might be included)
I'm hedging on 9 1/2 stars with this movie. Not a strong ten otherwise. The end of the movie is ever so slightly disappointing as other than a dance you never find out what happens to Junuh. Although we find out what happens to the dude who seems to have passed on, whilst on the fareway.
Bagger we are pretty sure is some sort of an angel. In some ways it's kinda like Always. Junuh might not have died, but his spirit did for awhile, until Bagger brought it back.
This has got to be Matt Damon's best movie. (Saving Private Ryan is more a tom hanks movie in my opinion)Glad Redford made the choice to put Matt as the lead and not himself. He's the better director anyway. However Robert Redford's best movie effort is still A River Runs Through It by far.
