Ouimet versus Vardon probably was the greatest golf game ever played, and Paxton and Frost do it justice, but I wouldn't sit through another simulated hole of it for Tiger Woods's salary.

I know it's all about how well they construct the journey, but I just kind of felt like, okay, we know exactly what's going to happen here.

[An] overloaded movie.
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post

As sports movies go, it doesn't get more exciting than this.
Susan Walker, Toronto Star

A sweet-natured, prettily photographed and at times genuinely exciting drama, bogged down by some thinly written characters and syrupy music.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
