From Walt Disney Pictures comes THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED . . . the crowd-pleasing underdog epic that's based on an inspirational true story! Young amateur golfer Francis Ouimet (Shia LaBeouf -- HOLES, I ROBOT) has nothing but talent and a seemingly impossible dream to challenge the world's greatest player, his idol Harry Vardon. Soon, with the help of his spunky 10-year-old caddy Eddie, Francis boldly breaks down all barriers with a thrilling display of unrivaled drive, skill, and heart . . . and challenges the golf pro for the U.S. Open Championship!

Summary: An all-around enjoyable, uplifting movie.
Comment: I rented this on a whim after seeing Stephen Dillane--whose work I've taken an interest in since his fantastic portrayal of Thomas Jefferson in the HBO miniseries "John Adams"--on the cover. I wasn't sure whether I'd really enjoy it or not, since I've never been much of a golf fan, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The story and characters are engaging and the movie has the usual Disney combination of humor and drama. Dillane's performance as Harry Vardon was great, but Shia LeBeouf also shined in his role as Francis Ouimet. You don't need to be a golf fan to enjoy this movie. I actually liked it so much, I'm planning on buying it now.

Summary: best "little known movie" I've ever seen
Comment: I actually saw this movie on an international flight and it was one of the best movies I have ever enjoyed. I'm not a golf fan, but the story is wonderful whether you like golf or not. I purchased it for my son-in-law who is a "golf fan" and I feel it would make a great gift for a wide range of people.

Summary: Oh, soooo bad....
Comment: So bad I thought for sure that Ron Howard directed it. If you cut out all of the sickening scenes of "eyes staring into eyes," the length of this movie would have been cut in half... a good start to the editing of this gooey, boring, seamingly unending film. It should have been titled "The Longest Film Ever Played." If only it had had a competent director, it could have been an interesting, worthwhile achievement. It never seizes to amaze me how many people actually like this mush!

Summary: The Greatest Game ever
Comment: This movie is one of the best I've ever seen. It's not only true, but it's inspiring and just darned nice, clean, fun.
Customer Rating:
Summary: great movie
Comment: We thought this was a great movie. We are golfers, and it was fun to see how the game has progressed over the years. The commentary and live interviews from the early years in golf were really interesting.
