The Greatest Game Ever Played

I love this movie! The only thing I would change is the "H" word and one other word used in the movie. Otherwise, it is completely clean and absolutely beautiful! So, I give Disney an A- for this one.

This movie is a golf movie. I personally have no interest in the game other than the fact that Tim enjoys playing it and so do many of my friends. Tim brought the movie home for us to watch several months ago. Needless to say, I was not excited about spending the evening watching a sports movie that would steal all of my husband's attention away from me. He seemed so excited about it and pointed at one of the main character's pictures on the front of the DVD. It was Shia LaBeouf! Our precious "Lou" (as we call him around the house). Shia played Louis Stevens on the Disney show "Even Stevens" several years ago and Tim and I became addicted to the character as well as the acting ability of Shia to completely become "Lou".

So, I decided to go ahead and give the movie a try because of "Lou". Now, let me tell you something. Never before have I found myself interested in golf and as a matter of fact, I have often told people that watching golf was as exciting as watching grass grow. This movie changed everything for me! I have talked about this movie for months and kept telling Tim that I want to own it! I am very anxious to get all the guys together sometime soon and have a big movie night watching it. I, of course, plan to be there so I can enjoy the movie for the third time (because we watched it again last night) as well as watch the expressions on the guys' faces. It will make it that much better for me because I will get to enjoy it through golf players and golf lovers.

This is a guy's movie; a sportsman's movie, but it's also a movie for me. I like guy movies as long as they're clean. This movie brought about so many emotions in me that I have fallen in love with it. It is one of the best movies I have ever spent my time watching.

I adore a character in the movie named "Eddie". On the back of the DVD case, he is referred to as "a spunky 10 year old caddy". He is definately spunky and I love it. I told Tim that I'm just glad I don't have to raise the little guy.

I think the reason I love this movie so much is because I have always been a fan of "the underdog". This movie is referred to as "the crowd pleasing underdog epic that's based on an inspirational true story.

There is so much I want to say about this movie and I really don't know where to start and stop. As I was watching it with Tim again last night, I had all these wonderful thoughts and words coming to me about the movie and I knew that I would write something about it on here and it would be great. Unfortunately, I went to bed thinking I would just write it on here today instead of last night. My words from last night are lost somewhere in my head and I can't get them back at the moment. They'll be back when I watch the movie again, though.

Good grief! Just go rent the movie and watch it! ;)
