7.5 / 10

Near the turn of the twentieth century, young Harry Vardon becomes a champion golfer but learns that his amazing skill is no match for the class boundaries that exclude him from "gentlemanly" English society. A dozen years later, a young American, Francis Ouimet, fights against the same prejudice, as well as his own father's disdain, for a chance to participate in the U.S. Open against his idol -- Harry Vardon. The struggles of both men for acceptance provides the background for an amazing contest of skills.

Harry Vardon's story is better than Ouimet. I love how they depict him blocking everything out and just seeing the ball the path and the green. - @Sunday, April 7, 2013 7:13 AM

The Krypt

I still don't quite like how they made Harry Varden look like in the trailer to how he was in the film. He was very respectful towards Francis Ouimet in the film, and stated that exact part at 2:08. - @Monday, April 1, 2013 2:21 AM

2002: The greatest baseball underdog story ever that changed the game of baseball. (Moneyball) 1980: The greatest underdog miracle in sports history that changed the game of hockey.

if your saying that the movie is too predictable... then you'd be right.. but isn't almost every superhero/suspense/sports movie predictable then? i mean what kind of enjoyment would you get from the main character losing? most movies like this aren't just about the "destination".. but about the "journey" AS WELL as the "destination".. :) - @Thursday, November 8, 2012 11:30 PM

"If Mr. Ouimet wins tomorrow, it's because he's the best. Not because of who is father was, not because of how much money he's got, but because of WHO HE IS!" My favorite scene in the film... - @Wednesday, March 7, 2012 2:30 AM

This is a great film! I have been a golfer for decades. I also enjoy learning the history of golf. Francis Ouimet was one of the most infuential players to inspire people to play and to separate the idea that golf was a sport only for the wealthy and the privledged. - @Sunday, July 31, 2011 11:56 AM

I love this movie, and having Shia in it makes it 20 times better! It inspired me to try golf(which I have yet to do), but am planning on this summer. Such a good movie, not too boring, and it makes it seem real, it really brings out emotion in both the characters and especially the people who watch it! It's a can't miss! - @Saturday, July 23, 2011 5:13 AM

Just watched the movie, "The Greatest Game Ever Played", again and anyone that plays the game of Golf,or even those that don't, should watch this one. Many people think Golf is played against other people, or played against a very tough course. But really, the game is all about playing against oneself, the inner challenge of emotions and thoughts. And that's why I enjoy it so much! - @Sunday, February 13, 2011 5:41 PM
