It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Good movie!, shows the beautiful of the golf game and the life of a true gentlemen and a legend! In this movie you can feel the beauty of golf, a game of masters, that involve the society of the 1920's, 30's and 40's trough the life of a legend, Bobby Jones (Caviezel), the only golf player that has ever won the grand slam (the four biggest tournaments in the same year), and the one that designed and started the Augusta National, home of the Masters!.But the more important things, is that you'll be close to the good and bad events in Bobby's life, his bad temper, his values and his life as a son, husband father and player. You can really feel the very human side of Jones noble character; you'll also see great acting roles of Claire Forlani as his wife Mari Malone, Jeremy Northam as his rival and friend Walter Hagen, Malcolm McDowell, as loyal friend O.B. Keeler. Enjoy this good film with really good golf (i'm not a golf fan, but i loved the way the game is shown here)

OK....I am not a golfer and don't care about golf.. I wasn't going to watch the movie based solely on this, but it was just on TV, and I thought I would just watch a few minutes and see if it would be worth watching. It was!! It is a great movie even if you know nothing about golf and don't care about learning anything about golf. It is a wonderfully done movie with great historical information and a great group of actors and actresses who make the entire movie pleasurable. It follows the life on a golfing legend Bobby Jones, who started playing golf as a child and continued playing amateur golf and is the only person to win the Grand Slam of golf (ok, so maybe I don't remember what the name for the big thing he won, but it was 4 big golf championships). The movie is well worth the time to watch whether you love golf or know nothing about the game.

First off, there are far too many films that have already been made about this prolific golfer, Bobby Jones. One film you might have heard of is the legend of Bagger Vance.To die hard golf fans who hate entertainment, The Legend of Bobby Jones will be superb. The acting is okay, while the mise-en-scene is surprisingly spectacular. The story and plot, however, are plain boring. Which is to expect, since this film is more of an autobiography of a man's life.There just really isn't much of anything this film can offer the people who could care less about golf and Bobby Jones. You've not missed anything if you haven't seen this film, so it's okay to pass it up.

Beautifully executed film with graceful presentation of the storyline. Acting really evokes the period with authenticity. Clothing, props, cars, etc. all are time appropriate. Lovely cinematography with beautiful scenery both in the United States and in Great Britain. The scenes shot on the ocean liner (which one? Queen Mary??) seem really authentic.I really enjoyed this film more than any I have seen in the last couple of years(it sort reminds me of a 'low key' version of "Chariots of Fire"). The soundtrack was quite good as well.I would highly recommend this film to anyone who would like to enjoy a more cerebral (not a film loaded with gratuitous action)experience.
