Terrible book adaptation, 2008-07-12
Absolutely awful movie. Movie had a terrible cast other than Will Smith, Matt Damon, and the two other golfers. Charlize Theron did not belong in this movie. 99% of the story from the book is absent in this film, taking on new and completely unrelated turns and incorporating menial book characters and blowing them up to be main characters for the movie (i.e. the role of charlize theron). ALL the drama from the book is lost, all the heart pounding dialogue and earth shattering descriptions and visualizations are lost, and all is left is a horribly directed and confused film with no message what so ever. The book is amazing, too bad the film stinks. Read the book.

Great movie for any golfer, 2008-07-05
I bought this movie for my Dad for fathers day. This is a good movie, but a really great movie for any golfer.

A Great Reminder of Remembering Our Own Swing, 2008-05-29
A delightful film about finding one's swing. A retired golfer is pushed back into the game even though he is convinced that he has lost his swing for good. A whimsical caddy comes along to show him how to find it, which is really a metaphor for finding oneself.

This movie is replete with spiritual metaphors that are sure to make you more aware of how one's path, or purpose, can only be found through the effortless ease of oneness with all.

Sit back, relax and allow yourself to sink deeply into this deeply creative and profound film.

Mysterious Saviour, 2008-04-24
This is a movie ostensibly about golf, but in actuality it is about life. A once superb golfer sinks to a life of drink and gambling. Challenged to participate as local color, he begins to practice his swing with a view of playing in a tournament with legendary Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen. From nowhere Bagger Vance appears, guides him to the mentality and courage to really take part. He rises to the occasion and when able to carry on alone, Bagger Vance disappears,

Beyond the obvious lesson about life and inner strength, the golf tournament itself is lovely, with the actor playing Bobby Jones particularly displaying a beautiful swing. Matt Damon does well as always.

An Uplifting Story, 2008-02-15
If you like golf, romance, a wonderful musical score, a good story, a great cast, and a little fantasy, you'll love The Legend of Bagger Vance. The scenery is breathtaking. The story is uplifting and fun. I enthusiastically recommend Bagger Vance.
