Fantastic cinematography and a great performance from Smith make this mis-understood movie entertaining.

Actually this movie deserves a 5. It's a watchable but boring and totally predictable mush.

I find most movie reviewers cynical. And in the case, of a guy who has, Friday the 13, and Fast Times at Richmond High, as favorites of mine. And coming also from someone how knows the sport of golf and bowling, and motocross, and basketball, etc., etc. This movie does grab more than the cynical critics would like to say. See as a sports person. Sometimes it doesn't take an array of words to tune you in. But Only the right ones. And only at the right times. That's an insult to anyone who thought the second half of this movie was just a golf game and nothing more. This movie shows exactly what it is in each one of us were trying to find in are sport. Through a caddie, that leads more by spiritual growth, than numbers. Although he doesn't ignore the numbers either. This movie is emotional and good. Lets face it critics, well they all play their game too, of almost looking for something bad in something good. And then they also have to go out and find some crap movie and give it 5 stars. Some movie that no one else has, just of their own to get some kind of a name for themselves. Or try to make themselves look different from the pack. Even if the movie does totally bite. I never found a critic yet who is really a true to the art of enjoyment. And that's all movies are enjoyment. And this movie was about as enjoyable as you can get.

Well Done.
Dick A. gave it a 10:
This movie is superb on every level. The sad thing is that this movie also exposes the ciritics for what they are: seashells that reflect the world of movies.. not life. Bravo Will and Matt and Charlize and Robert!
