this be first of all a good and exciting story and with well developed character . but all the other detail be well craft on top of that and lead to a wonderful film . don not let the disney label lead you to think this be dumbed down or only for kid it have a lot to offer to all age and whether you like golf or not . one of the more impressive thing be that the film manage to make a golf game look really exciting . and speak a one of many who can not abide golf on tv and this be no small feat . the first half of the film do a good job of lay out the basic character with their motivation and background and enough that you end up like all the important competitor once the pivotal match begin halfway through . sure and you root for ouimet character all along and but his primary opponent be likable and interesting in their own right . the background layer be important once the golf match become a match use mind as well a golf club and since you get a good understanding for what each person strength and weakness be a the play progress . the computer effect be flashy and but they do help the story more often than not . the directing have all sort of clever golf shot and and the period costume and set be really top notch . there be a few small quibble many of the minor character seem a little too stereotypically cast from the class warfare mold and but this be forgivable with the major character so well drawn . shia laboeuf play francis ouimet be and a usual and callow and sympathetic . but the real standout be steven dillane and playing harry vardon . he rarely move his face and but his intense and often sad and eye and minor change of expression say so much . ouimet caddy eddie lowery and play by josh flitter and steal the scene he be in . after you see the film and google to find the actual photograph of ouimet and lowery at the tournament and to get an even good appreciation of how incredible this match truly be .
