Why remake other movies???

Rating: 5/10 (2 November 2001)

Okay, am I the only one that thinks this is just a golf remake of the Natural, another Robert Redford film? At least The Natural was a good film. This one falls flat, especially when trying to sell golf as the greatest game in the world. The Will Smith character was more silly than ethereal and the long presentation of the big championship was almost completely predictable. The narration was a cover for the lack of effective story telling. And, we have the first "post traumatic stress disorder" film for WWI. The war flashbacks mostly reminded me of Airplane. Don't waste your time or money.
