Movie Reviews of Bobby Jones, Stroke of Genius (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Bobby Jones, Stroke of Genius
Summary: 4 Stars
Movie has a lot of historical information about Jones' beginning into golf.
Most of us know Jones through his black and white training films and his Master's association. This movie is a true biographical look into one of the true legends of golf. The acting is as good as the story line. A must see for all golfers.
Summary of Bobby Jones, Stroke of Genius (Special Edition)
His ability made him a star but it was his passion that made him a legend. Robert "Bobby" Tyre Jones Jr. (Jim Caviezel The Passion of Christ) was perhaps the most naturally gifted golfer in the history of the game. Battling a disabling illness and a volcanic temper Jones struggled through a succession of early defeats to reach the pinnacle of his sport - becoming at age 28 the only man ever to win the coveted Grand Slam of golf. But it was his devotion to his wife Mary (Claire Forlani Meet Joe Black) that led to the astounding announcement that shocked the world in this inspirational true story of one of sport's greatest icons.System Requirements:Running Time: 128 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?PG UPC:?043396085107 Manufacturer No:?08510Anyone who's ever been passionate about golf will find something to admire in Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius, a staidly reverent biopic about one of the game's greatest champions. In the title role, Jim Caviezel suffers almost as much as he did in The Passion of the Christ, portraying Jones--who made history by winning golf's elusive Grand Slam (four top tournaments in less than four months) in 1930--as a passionately committed golfer who silently endured chronic pain (a spinal disorder prompted his early retirement at age 28), stomach ailments, emotional torment, and borderline alcoholism while maintaining amateur status in the sport he so magnificently dominated. Jeremy Northam brings much-needed levity and rakish style as Jones' friend and rival golfer Walter Hagen, and Malcolm McDowell adds colorful character as Jones' friend and biographer O.B. Keeler while Claire Forlani suffers the typical biopic plight of the hero's wife, who offers compassionate empathy while wishing Jones had more time for family. With repetitive golf scenes and a somber tone of martyrdom, Bobby Jones was partially financed by Jones' estate, which may explain its respectable dullness and instant fate as a box-office dud. Still, director Rowdy (Road House) Herrington is clearly enamored of his subject, and some of that enthusiasm shines through the gloom. --Jeff Shannon
