This is truly a Disney movie. I don't care what anyone else says about Disney motion pictures losing their magic; "Greatest Game Ever Played" was, by far, the best movie I've seen since Pirates of the Carribean.
Storyline: Perfectly paced. I never once was bored, or confused with the plot (and it doesn't take much :lol: ). The fact that this was a true story really made things even more surreal, yet so believable.
Acting: Shia LaBeouf was a great decision to play the caddy that comes up to be the champ, Francis Ouimet. A popular pick for some Disney shows, LaBeouf plays the role surprisingly well.
Stephen Dillane plays Harry Vardon, Ouimet's lifelong idol, and fills his role quite well.
My pick for greatest actor, however, is Josh Flitter, who fills the position of Eddie Lowery, the pudgy "caddy for the caddy" with an attitude loved by all.
Special Effects: The highlight SFX were the golf ball camera shots. Every time they took a swing, it felt like I was doing something from Caddyshack: "Be the ball."
Being in the theatre, it reminded me a lot of Soarin'!
Music: Very inspirational. It reminded me a lot of the "Pirates" music, but more dramatic, considering the story. I commend the composer (Brian Tyler) for piecing together yet another exquisite performance.
Best Part Of The Film: There was no one component of the film that stood out from the rest, only because every aspect of it stood out as a whole...
...But the best part were the Hidden Mickeys. :lookaroun There are a few HM appearances, and all of them seem to be on golf balls (again, reminding me of Soarin'! :lol: ). I didn't see any others, though I'm sure there are a few.
Summary: The Greatest Game Ever Played-- one of the greatest movies ever made. :wave:
