I admit that I have a bit of a weakness for movies about golf. Happy Gilmore, Tin Cup, even Bagger Vance merited a watching on HBO for me. So I was probably a little more generous in my appreciation of Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius than some (most) people would be.
But I liked it. I don't think by any standards that it was a 'great' film, not one to be remembered most likely except by Jones fans, or by golf fans in general, and at times it does sort of fall into a zone of made-for-TV-movie mode, but it's heartfelt and well acted by Jim Caviezel.
It's safe to say that if you don't like golf, you won't like this movie. But if you DO like golf, you'll have a great time.
