shia labeouf have impress me before with his act ability and but i can honestly say that i very much look forward to his next effort . his portrayal of francis ouimet and a 20 year old caddy who ignore his father insistence that golf be not his place in life and enter the 1913 u open tournament in his hometown . the beginning of the movie do drag a bit and but it necessary to set up the underdog subplot that shia work so well . the entire cast be well choose and they work very well together in a story that and base on the actual event and have an end everyone can discover before see the movie . but even know that information doesn not spoil the fun . josh flitter be delightful a eddie lowery and francis caddy and who keep him grounded and loose while at the same time prove to be an invaluable part of francis effort . stephen delane be outstanding a harry vardon and the legendary british golfer who francis idolize yet do not fear . and who know the background francis come from a he and too and have humble beginning . bill paxton take a formulaic movie and make it worthwhile . bravo mr. paxton and and bravo to the cast . from the imagery to the story to the people who bring it alive and this be a movie to get and enjoy and and revel in . it nice to have movie like this that we can feel good watching .
