One Redeeming Scene ?

Rating: Null/10 (1 May 2001)

This was a dreadful movie, incoherent, sentimental, peabrained and subtly racist. But there is one scene that I can't forget, and I wonder if it redeems the rest. The scene has nothing to do with the abysmal plot or the trivial main character. It was when the character Walter Hagen (Bruce McGill almost stole the show in the role) drives off the 18th into the surf. After the others play, the scene switches to him standing barefooted on the sand, in gorgeous twilight, knickers rolled up to his knee, with the over voice "And then Hagen came back from the dead." Maybe five seconds long, but pure beauty. The rest of the movie was dreadful, but that was almost worth it.
