The dialogue and characters are convincing and intelligently developed. Russo wears vulnerability and neediness like a second skin, while Costner plays the tragic hero with considerable charm. Full Review |

All the golf action and happy "feel-good" emotions that audiences expect (and want) but... without following the traditional sports movie conventions. Full Review |
