Dale R Based on a book by Mark Frost about the true story of Francis Ouimet, played by Shia LaBeouf, the amateur champion of the 1913 U.S. Open golf tournament. A few things were changed from the historical record to add drama and tension and they work well in this context. Shia LaBeouf plays a more modern young man than I would have liked, but his character is likable and you do root for him. Josh Flitter plays Ouimet’s young caddie, Eddie Lowery and steals the show. There are some good camera angles and special effect shots during this film. Overall, I think this movie is worth your time. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Baby Jesus The greatest game ever played Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Drake B As a golf fan, this is a much watch. There are some subtle details in this film that are worth noting. The "blackout" Francis had when he made 6 birdies in a row to qualify, and his hand shaking on the putter during his final putts are details that golf fans will appreciate a little more then the average watcher. This film illustrates amazingly on how professional golfers most likely feel during tournaments, while highlighting how much of the game is very much an individual and mentally challenging sport. With some heartfelt moments and Eddie helping you through it, this film deserves the hype when it comes to underdog stories. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/24 Full Review Benjamin J I'll probably be very biased reviewing this because I love this film, if you are a sports fan and play golf it's a must watch, it shows someone staring adversity in the eye and fighting back with strength, dignity and respect. I love it and it's one of my all time favourites, it is a true underdog story and what makes it better is that it's based quite closely on a true story! Shia Lebeouf is fantastic and produces a master class in this film, loved it and will definitely watch again, anyone who loves their golf will love this film because it gives hope to the amateurs! Top 5 of all time films for me (maybe because I love golf) Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/24 Full Review Jerod S Solid story about Ouimet and his rise to win the US Open in the early 1900s. LaBeouf before he got weird and little Eddie was just the right touch as caddy. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/04/23 Full Review Ariel B Simply an amazing movie, a story that gets to you with incredible performances al around. Shia Lebouf is incredible as Ouimet, Stephen Dillane as the opposing figure (cause he is not a bad guy in the movie or a villain) it's also greatly achieved, Elias Koteas as Ouimet father achieves a lot with little screen time, Josh Flitter brings an amazing Eddie to the scree. I would suggest Disney to use these movies as example of what they did right Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
