Review of The Greatest Game Ever Played (2005) by Manu G — 11 Sep 2009

Super good movie! I thought I gave it a shot and was well payed for! Very good acting and a excellent true life film. I might add that Golf movies are really not my cup of tea even though I love sport movies.

Near the turn of the twentieth century, young Harry Vardon becomes a champion golfer but learns that his amazing skill is no match for the class boundaries that exclude him from "gentlemanly" English society. A dozen years later, a young American, Francis Ouimet, fights against the same prejudice, as well as his own father's disdain, for a chance to participate in the U.S. Open against his idol -- Harry Vardon. The struggles of both men for acceptance provides the background for an amazing contest of skills.
