"Hmm, I wonder if this magical Negro archetype can help me improve my putting. Well, seeing as this is the most predictable movie about magical Negroes and golf ever made, I suppose the answer would be 'yes.'"

I don't have the huge problems most seem to have with this film. I know when I got my "Magic Negro" it shaved at least 10 off my handicap.

I haven't seen this film for some time now, but I remember it being very dull, even with all its stars and talented director, it's still a movie about golf that isn't a comedy, making it a tough sit.

Predictable golf movie, but the whole thing has this strange calmness to it that is really contagious. I don't really know how to describe it, as the film doesn't really go anywhere and it doesn't really have a proper ending. It's just some people playing a game, getting through their own lives as best they can... and, for a little while at least, it's captivating.
