Fairly good acting by Matt Damon and Charlize Theron. Will Smith overdoes the home-spun advice witticisms and his character, that of Bagger Vance, becomes irritating.

Directed by Robert Redford. He is capable of much better efforts, as "Quiz Show" and "A River Runs Through It" demonstrated.

certainly the best golf movie ive ever seen

It was like "Happy Gilmore," the super serious, over dramatic, and terrible version, with Will Smith as Happy and Matt Damon as Shooter McGavin or something.

Beautiful in its artistry. Meaningful in its purpose.

One of Robert Redford's most impressing directorial films. Matt Damon and Will Smith are great aswell.

One can tell if a movie is good when the time flies by. I noticed it was a movie over 2 hours and completely forgot about that aspect while viewing.

I noticed it was a movie over 2 hours and completely forgot about that aspect while viewing. My hat's off to Will Smith, he was the breath of fresh air that really drove the film. I mean, the story is centered around his character.

I was impressed by the choice of films Smith was choosing around this time, in particular Ali and this one. His accent in both films shows his dedication and commitment to really making his characters come alive. Although this was the time that he made the biggest regret of his career that I agree, The Matrix.

Perhaps the jeapordy could've have been a little deeper and differently. Or the stakes could've been raised a little more and other than Matt Damon trying to get his golf swing back. I did predict what was going on rather early but I'm sure that was the intent from the filmmakers. Maybe not so soon?

Maybe elaborate more on the relationship between he and Charlize's character. The filmmakers seem to not give you as much of it as you would like in the beginning to make you want more. Which is good, however, I don't think it paid off in the end. There was room for improvement when touching on this area.

Just ideas to toss around, but still a really good movie all around. As a filmmaker you should always ask yourself, "How can I make it better?" Whether it's this one or the next.

All in all, I recommend it for anyone looking for a good heart warming film to feel good afterwards.

some decent acting, but the story makes no sense

also, Matt Damon has the absolute worst golf swing ever used by an actor
