Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

dansview I feel privileged to have witnessed something this bad. It's like a milestone in my life. Having said that, I admit to only watching half of it. I just couldn't take the torture any longer, despite the spectacular scenery of the Texas Hill Country.This was Karate Kid on Valium. Robert Duvall rehashes his old guy Texas burnout with wisdom character from Tender Mercies and mixes it with a little Great Santini. Instead of teaching a kid karate through sweeping and polishing, he teaches an overgrown man-child to play Golf through fishing and painting.If Golf in the Texas countryside isn't obscure enough for you, a failed golfer leaves the PGA Tour and smashes into the ranch fence of a former PGA golfer in the middle of nowhere. What are the odds? Apparently it was a Christian movie. I didn't get that far.This lead "actor," from the Tokyo Fast and Furious film has the personality of a piece of driftwood. Top that off with the deepest Alabama accent you've ever heard or hope to hear. There just happens to be a nice single girl in town who thinks he's attractive. Even though there are only 375 people in the town. Must be his dazzling personality and the fact that he embarrassed himself on national T.V. getting blown off the golf course and exhibiting poor sportsmanship. Hmm. Yummy.The small town transforming a city guy theme is stolen from Doc Hollywood. (Michael J. Fox)The rest as I mentioned is from Karate Kid, only Mr. Miyagi is now a clichéd version of Robert Duvall.By the way, the kid is asked to paint a picture of the golf course and he does it like a pro. Does he have an artistic background? Did he take Fine Arts at Golf College? Oh jeez.What a disaster. Having said that, the scenery again is amazing and the basic idea of a man with a broken spirit chilling out in a small town is always appealing. So cull what you can from this train wreck. I'm sure it has its' redeeming qualities.

temeriti-951-424550 If you're looking for a movie that does its book justice, keep on lookin.I won't bore you with the details, as the movie's not all that detailed yet inexcusably boring, so I'll point out rather glaring omissions, questionable additions, and unnecessary changes.1- "Love interest". We're talking' Ben-JLo-Gigli chemistry here. It was completely unneeded, totally irrelevant to the story, and the scenes felt incredibly awkward.2. The "Cowboys". Again, an unnecessary change in the age/demeanor/scenes with the cowboys. It, again, felt forced.3. The ENTIRE correlation with the cemetery, the golf course, the lot...they left out hugely relevant sections of the book here, and as a result made the scene that was supposed to be touching feel...you guessed it. Forced.4. The climactic, poignant end was removed. Not just changed, 90% of the point of it was just NOT THERE.It really was painful to watch. The movie entirely missed the point, a la Michael Bay with Pearl Harbor.

JoeShmoe11 This was seriously one of the worst movies I have ever seen and I have seen my share of bad movies. I was excited to see it because I love golf. I had no idea it was loaded with religious propaganda. I of course, fast forwarded it through all the bible and church stuff. The love story was soooooo boring. zzzzzzzzzzzz.... It was the Mr. Miyagi on golf kind of movie and the way it was delivered was that the teacher is so brilliant because he thinks about golf outside the box. For example, he gets the main character to fly a plane because flying a plane and golf are like the same thing. Wait. What!? Okayyyyy.... Oh yeah, and there is no ending but I guess it works out better because I can only imagine how badly he would have written it so leaving it blank is probably better.I never write reviews for movies but this movie was seriously so bad I had to. A 10 year old could have put together a better plot for this movie.EPIC FAIL!

duncanhad This movie was in the same genre as 'The karate Kid' and countless other movies..disgruntled teen meets Yoda type character and discovers how golf/boxing/karate is a metaphor for buddhism/Christianity.Golf is like fly fishing, you should picture your shots before you take them, bury your bad feelings...it was like a smörgåsbord of clichés.There is always a girl involved and an anti hero - and I think you can guess the plot of the movie from that - and it does not disappoint. I was hoping that it would at least have an original ending - however it could not even come up with one! You had to come up with one yourself!At the end of the movie I felt I had been bombarded with Christian propaganda, product placement (there was Callaway on everything! The type of driver was even mentioned on the commentary in the closing scene) and tourism to Texas.Bland writing, directing, editing and acting - a perfect storm of blandness.
