The story is wonderful, the characters are well portrayed, its good, clean, and fairly safe for the whole family. However, golf isn't for everyone and neither is this movie.
Golf fans will find the historic images, grounds of St. Andrews, and the history found in the movie really neat. The colorful characters, such as Stuart Maiden -- portrayed admirably by Alistair Begg -- bring life, and personality to these people of not so ancient history. James Caviezel does a tremendous job, and while the movie drags a bit near the middle--it isn't unbearably long.
Those who aren't golf fans may find the movie long, and tiring. They will appreciate the story, and the great character portrayal -- however, the story is about gold and a golf icon; enough said. This movie is much better than I expected, and golf will find it worth the 2 hours.
