Bobby Jones deserves a better movie than this one.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 22, 2010

In going after a "Seabiscuit" type of movie about the famous '30s amateur golfer Bobby Jones, the filmmakers chose a double epithet for a biopic that gets nowhere near that film's captivating sports story from the same era.

| Original Score: C | May 8, 2009

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 7, 2008

The film has its sappy, predictable moments, but the gorgeous cinematography, apt direction and fine acting more than compensate. Think of it like Chariots of Fire on the golf course.

Caviezel claramente velho demais para o papel, o que j o tornaria uma escolha inadequada - mas, alm disso, jamais convence ao retratar o temperamento explosivo de Jones.

... plodding, special interest movie that feels more like a Golf Channel original production than a full-blown major motion picture.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Oct 7, 2004

Laborious and almost studiously old-fashioned biopic

| Aug 8, 2004

The sort of film wherein Bobby can't win a tournament until he can control his temper.

| May 21, 2004

an infomercial that can't end soon enough.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 12, 2004

This would have gone straight to video had it not been for the box-office success of "The Passion of the Christ."

Much like the many 'Jesus' movies, the film stays clear of controversy and plays it safe, making the casting of Jim Caviezel even more ironical.

| Original Score: C- | May 9, 2004

...[so] reverential that star Jim Caviezel may as well be playing Jesus...Stroke of Genius strikes me as a labor of love; for most audiences, it will be just a labor.

Glowing, soft-focus, hagiographic, toothless...

It's Jesus Goes Golfing and by the halfway mark, I was hoping the caddies would rebel and give Jones a 20-minute scourging with a cat o' nine irons.

Destined to reach a tiny audience of serious golf fanatics and Caviezel fans… Caviezel convincingly projects Jones's sincerity, flashes of anger, and bursts of pain.

| Original Score: C+ | May 4, 2004

Jim Caviezel has a new "passion", this time it is golf

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10 | May 3, 2004

[T]here's just not that much thrill in watching that little ball rolling toward the hole.

Jim Caviezel, hot off his success in "The Passion of the Christ!"
