I felt compelled to write one for this movie. If I understand where the reviewers are coming from who are not Christians and had issues with this movie and/or other movies of the like. I also understand that some Christians love Christian movies no matter how bad, how cheesy, how badly acted, etc. Everybody to me is entitled to their opinion. In my opinion this is not a "Christian movie." Yes there are a few Christian elements. However, the movie is mostly a wonderful message that is highly uplifting, with great life lessons in it that are not necessarily have anything to do with "Christianity." Indeed the Christian elements were only in the ending for the most part, and were not at all shoving anything down anybody's throat. Some complained that Robert Duvall mailed this one in. I did not feel that way at all. Maybe Robert "found God" as he is aging and growing closer to his end, or whatever. I really don't care because I think he did what he normally does which is put his all into his acting. And the acting of the other people (particularly the young golfer) was superb. This is especially true as this being even remotely related to a "Christian movie," puts it in the category of movies that usually can be done better by kids in elementary school pretending during lunch break with a smart phone and a simple editing app. Spoiler alert: do not read further if you're concerned about anything being given away... Yes the ending is a tad amorphous. Many reviewers here complain about that. I found it refreshing that the typical "you are already know what's going to happen ending" did not happen. People don't want to think anymore. They lack imagination nowadays. People's minds and getting lazier and lazier. Yes there was a mention to go to some website. It was not a big deal. It was not made a big deal of. I did not go there. There is no need to it if one does not want that. Way too much is being made here by reviewers of that in my estimation. I have not enjoyed a movie in a long time. Movies to me are slipping and sliding downhill so fast I cannot enjoy them anymore for the most part. Hollywood rarely has an original thought, especially without a particular one-sided political agenda that usually is pushed in Hollywood movies: AHEM. I enjoyed this movie thoroughly. I would even say it impacted me and my life to some degree. That all being said this movie has my highest recommendation. I give it five stars not because it is a 300 million-dollar mega-production with all the bells and whistles. It is not. This movie made me feel good, made me ponder, and made the think about things, and that is to me one of the best things a movie can do. Trust me, watch the movie, no matter what your spiritual and/or religious beliefs are, or not, you will enjoy. And if you want to watch it with your kids it is definitely family-safe in my humble opinion, which is refreshing to not have cursing, sex, violence, etc., thrown in just for the sake of it. I have nothing against these things. It's just that Hollywood doesn't have anything to say anymore so they just throw in those things because they have nothing else, and all they want to do is make more money. Watch it and if you wish to come back here and comment on my comment as I would love to know what you think. Whatever you do think about my comment, about the movie, about whatever, all I do is wish you peace. I wish people would/could just chill out and enjoy life without so much of the unnecessary drama. Enjoy. |
