tocker What a film!! I couldn't turn it off, I did try but it was a lost cause. Just how bad actually is this film?It was rolling along nicely at "bad film" status until the story reached the Augusta Masters. Needless to say the status dive bombed to become one of the worst films I have ever watched. Terrible acting, terrible action shots, Terrible looking golf course??? but the main star of the show wasn't Tiger Woods .. it was Colin Montgomerie!! What a performance ... what a likeness?!? and what an accent?!? I want to know this actors name, he is my new hero.This film is so bad that It comes with my "must see" plea. Everyone, no matter the cost, needs to get their hands on this film. It is superb entertainment.
Arthur Warchol I can't help myself, I have GOT to talk about this movie!!!! I have to refer to some of the antics of his mother, so if you haven't seen it yet, I need to warn you that I mean to talk specifics, so don't read on. Watch the movie and then if your stomach is churning like mine is, come read this later and see if you agree.First of all, there is Tiger's dad who was a marine and met Tiger's mother in Thailand and brought her over here and got her naturalized. They had a baby (Tiger).Dad has a love of golf and sees that his son has inherited that trait. Why, at the age of three, Tiger beats the resident pro at a snazzy golf club by two strokes (I think) with a plastic(?) club so the little black kid won't be kicked out.Dear old mom glares at Earl every time he gets serious about motivating Tiger at the game that Tiger already is a natural at, shakes her finger at him, withers him with a glance, and otherwise wears the pants. I got to wondering if this pap wasn't written by a member of the National Organization of Man-Hating Dykes and if the producer and director were both wussies.Then Tiger meets up with racism at school and mom's solution is to take him back to Thailand. Boy would he ever get to be a golf great over there! Good thinking, mom. Run away from adversity. Works every time. All the world's greats found success like that....Then when I was registering here so I could write this, there comes this scene where mother is looking into Tiger's eyes and telling him that he needs to commit to golf body, soul, and kit and caboodle. Her eyes looked clear and focused for a change. Or maybe it is because she seems to always hide them in real life behind sun glasses. Anyway, how did Tiger make it with all this schizophrenia in his upbringing (assuming this is the REAL Tiger Woods story and not just a "based on" version).I was taping this for my son, who looks up to Tiger as his inspiration and when he was younger even used to have a swing that mirrored Tiger's.I will erase it now though.Too much negativism for him to overcome. He has enough problems already.
publius123-2 An fine story of the human spirit, and what it can accomplish in the glaring eyes of adversity. With a combination of tremendous acting, and an intricate plot, this movie is impossible to overlook for even the most devout detester of golf and anything that has to do with it. The Tiger Woods story not only inspired me to play golf, it has also inspired to teach my child golf in the hopes that he too might one day be able to play like the movie's namesake. Unfortunately, my praise could never do justice to the brilliance that this film constantly projects. I recommend it with my highest regard
markles What a piece of poorly acted crap. Pure Tiger Woods propaganda. I accidentally caught this 'film' during some channel surfing and it was so mesmerizingly bad I couldn't manage to manipulate the remote control. Reminiscent of the Senor Spielbergo directed Monty Burns epic in the Springfield Film Festival, an actual football to the groin(not just watching it happen to someone else) may be better than watching this 'movie.' A must see for anyone intrigued by poor cinema, "The Tiger Woods Story" will certainly turn your stomach.
