Booby Jones is like The Greatest Game Ever Played a good, likable, and even inspirational sport biopic around golf. Bobby Jones remains one the greatest, if not the greatest golfer of all time. He retired at only 28. With a rousing Braveheart-like score from James Horner, plenty of golf, a couple of good rivalries, and some love interest, if you like sports movies to move you and to be about not just winning but winning with values and heart then this will fit the bill nicely.This is above all a film for those who enjoy being inspired by movies, you will get the lift and there is a palpable sense of real excitement in the golf in the last 30 minutes.All in all, a great way to spend 90 minutes, we really liked it; it's a well-made and well thought through film that is one to simply enjoy.

I remember being "forced" to watch Miss Congeniality. Having no respect for pegeantries, which I still do not follow at all, I could not imagine that it would lead me to have respect for the contestants. But it did.I consider golf as much of a sport as video games, but remembering Miss Congeniality, I gave it a chance. I was underwhelmed.The tale of Bobby Jones deserve to be told many times over. The world would be a far better place if people are impressed and inspired by such characters.This movie, unfortunately, forgot at times it is titled Bobby Jones, not the game of golf. As I watched it, I thought to myself that all the beautiful scenery and mesmerizing musical scores only served to confirm my view of golf. It was not until it ended and I read various reviews that I remember the central character.This story spanned roughly two decades. Unfortunately, we did not get to know the supporting cast beyond the simple and the obvious. We didn't even see Jones much outside of golf.While this may stem from the director's desire to keep to historical facts, an admirable aim, it restricted the depth of the story. I'm not a film buff so I can't tell you what should have been done, but I can tell you it could have been much more than a golfer's favorite movie.

OK....I am not a golfer and don't care about golf.. I wasn't going to watch the movie based solely on this, but it was just on TV, and I thought I would just watch a few minutes and see if it would be worth watching. It was!! It is a great movie even if you know nothing about golf and don't care about learning anything about golf. It is a wonderfully done movie with great historical information and a great group of actors and actresses who make the entire movie pleasurable. It follows the life on a golfing legend Bobby Jones, who started playing golf as a child and continued playing amateur golf and is the only person to win the Grand Slam of golf (ok, so maybe I don't remember what the name for the big thing he won, but it was 4 big golf championships). The movie is well worth the time to watch whether you love golf or know nothing about the game.

What a wonderful film on a truly extraordinary individual! Not only was Bobby Jones a great golfer but he excelled more importantly in his personal life as well. As Keeler says in the movie:" There will never be another Bobby Jones"....He was right of course since he was speaking of the man's character more than his golf talents. Keeler also says at one point, quite prophetically too, that money would destroy the sport. He would have been right about any professional sport, but most particularly about golf where every victory (majors above all) are quickly translated into endorsement deals. The players have become walking billboards for all sorts of companies.....something they will not walk away from as Bobby Jones did. Highly recommended for the kids as they can witness sport as it was before athletic ability was measured in dollars.
