intelearts Booby Jones is like The Greatest Game Ever Played a good, likable, and even inspirational sport biopic around golf. Bobby Jones remains one the greatest, if not the greatest golfer of all time. He retired at only 28. With a rousing Braveheart-like score from James Horner, plenty of golf, a couple of good rivalries, and some love interest, if you like sports movies to move you and to be about not just winning but winning with values and heart then this will fit the bill nicely.This is above all a film for those who enjoy being inspired by movies, you will get the lift and there is a palpable sense of real excitement in the golf in the last 30 minutes.All in all, a great way to spend 90 minutes, we really liked it; it's a well-made and well thought through film that is one to simply enjoy.

dovesrun Not just a golf movie. You don't even need to like golf to enjoy this movie. The story and scenery are worth it. Jim Caviezel did an amazing job in bringing Bobby Jones to life. Although I didn't know anything about Jones, I know enough about golf to understand the importance of what he contributed to the sport. The parts were beautifully cast although Clair F is not my favorite actress (I didn't like her in Meet Joe Black), she did a fine representation of women of that era. I think Jim Caviezel is a very underrated actor and does a fine job in each part he has played. You don't see Jim, you just see the character, which to me should be the goal of a good actor. Definitely worth the money to rent and the time to watch, more than once.

Flickmasta Bobby Jones' life was amazing and this movie missed a great opportunity to tell all. This movie is very slow. The acting is good, but the direction is boring. There could've been more suspense when Jones went for the Grand Slam. The movie only covers Jones from age 6 to 28. It would've been cool if the movie showed how Jones revolutionized golf instruction and equipment production after his retirement at age 28, how Augusta National was formed, and how the Masters was started. Give me birth to death not 6 to 28. This movie should have been promoted better too. It grossed less than $3 million and costed $17. Sad. It should've been called "Bobby Jones: Grand Slam" so people wouldn't think the titled was ripped off. With Brad Pitt, Christian Bale and Martin Scorsese directing it (much like the Aviator), this would have been awesome.

gibat51 What a wonderful film on a truly extraordinary individual! Not only was Bobby Jones a great golfer but he excelled more importantly in his personal life as well. As Keeler says in the movie:" There will never be another Bobby Jones"....He was right of course since he was speaking of the man's character more than his golf talents. Keeler also says at one point, quite prophetically too, that money would destroy the sport. He would have been right about any professional sport, but most particularly about golf where every victory (majors above all) are quickly translated into endorsement deals. The players have become walking billboards for all sorts of companies.....something they will not walk away from as Bobby Jones did. Highly recommended for the kids as they can witness sport as it was before athletic ability was measured in dollars.
