Review of The Legend of Bagger Vance (2000) by Elhussein S — 05 Sep 2013

Rannulph Junuh (Matt Damon) is a promising young golfer who loses his swingafter he experiences the harrowing frontlines of war. Once considered Savannah's greatest sportsman and favourite celebrity, Junnuh had won the heart of the town's prettiest heiress, Adele Invergordon (Charlize Theron). But when he returned from war, he was a defeated man, giving up both golf and Adele for the sake of alcohol.

When Junuh is given a chance to redeem himself by competing in a celebrity golf tournament, he must first regain his swing and his self-respect. It will take a miracle, in the form of a mysterious caddy named Bagger Vance (Will Smith), for Junuh to get his game back as well as his life.

Also stars Bruce McGill, Joel Gretsch, Lane Smith, Harve Presnell, J. Michael Moncrief and Peter Gerety.

Directed by Robert Redford.
