If you're not mad about plaid shorts, Tommy's Honour is unlikely to grab your attention, at first. But if you give it chance, there's an affable movie about an inspiring young pioneer. Go to Full Review

Peter Mullan is always an actor worth watching, even if you can't always comprehend what he's saying thanks to that thick Scots accent. Go to Full Review

2/5
Golf buffs might appreciate its recreation of the sport in the late 19th century, but to love the film unreservedly, you'll need an appetite for the cinematic equivalent of treacle-topped porridge. Go to Full Review

Yes, this film is very much more for avid fans of golf and those who adore its long and varied history, but Tommy's Honour certainly has enough heart in it to engage with those who have little time for golf. Go to Full Review

Mike H Aug 12 As a golfer, I enjoyed the movie. Slow, not much action, good acting...but it IS the story of Young and Old Tom Morris....that is a great story! See more isla s 09/03/2022 This is an interesting story, with interesting characters and it makes for a good period drama. The family aspect particularly interested me. Suffice to say, if your interested in the history of golf esp. golf in Scotland and the UK, then I'd recommend it. See more 05/28/2021 I enjoyed this true story about Tommy Morris senior & junior in Scotland and the mark that they left on the game as innovators of the sport plus the legacy that they left to this day. See more duane m 12/28/2020 Wonder depiction of golf in its early years. Great visuals and wonderful story of Young Tom Morris career and tragic ending See more 10/28/2019 If you can understand any of the Scottish accents good luck, not a very good movie very poorly done See more 06/07/2019 Delightful, touching, informative. I loved it. See more Read all reviews
