Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
smokeyrodgers This is a clear example of people with more money than sense, mistaking themselves as artists and trying to feed off the talent of others. A movie about Tiger Woods' life up until that point, all 23 years of it, is not that entertaining. As a viewer you are not treated to anything more than could be summed up in...oh, i don't know...a 30 second Nike commercial.Particular bad points include the far from accurate portrayal of Colin Montgomerie with a broad Scottish accent. (just because he's Scottish)The responsibility must fall to the director to do his research or to just forget about this project for at least another 20 years.
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.
