Critic Reviews

  • Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine

    Amiable and constantly amusing rather than uproarious, this mangy tale of a ne'er-do-well's fitful assault on personal and professional respectability benefits greatly from Kevin Costner's ingratiatingly comic star turn.

  • , Time Out

    Costner hasn't been this charming and spontaneous for years.

    One of the better golf films ever, and Costner's third best sports film.

  • Sanjaya &


    Just a usual sports movie about sports, in this movie told about golf, nothing special in it. Kevin Costner and Rene Russo just gave a light performance because it just a movie for entertaining, they don't need too good performances here, they just need the money... The story… More
