Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius

[ITG]

Has anyone here seen movie mentioned in the title of the thread? I am sure many of you would enjoy it. It's set in the 1930s and is about golf. The guy that played Jesus in The Passion of the Christ plays the lead role. There's a scene inside the Observation Bar of the Queen Mary as well. (The same backdrop in The Aviator where Howard Hughes is having the wrap party for Hell's Angels.)

...The guy that played Jesus in The Passion of the Christ plays the lead role...

And the tagline for the Bobby Jones movie is, "His passion made him a legend."

Coincidence? I think not!

The actor is Jim Cavizel and he is also in the Count of Monte Cristo (2002), don't recoment the movie for any fans of the Count of Monte Cristo book.

I saw it at the local theater and was dissapointed. Something that should have been made by and shown on the US Public Broadcasting System and it should have never gone to the theater.The clothing was all over the place with ill fitted suits and dresses, modern ties and modern sometimes plastic soled shoes. To make it right it should have been done by the BBC... They know how to do period pieces like this.

Matt,

Are you talking about the Bobby Jones flick, or the Count of Monte Cristo?

You are talking about the Booby Jones movie right? Cause, I can go on and on about the Count of Monte Cristo.

I am a golfer, is it worth going to anyway, just for the golf aspect?

I'm a golfer and I enjoyed it for the vintage feel and golf aspects. I do think you'd enjoy it. My mom golfs and she watched the movie yesterday and enjoyed it as well.

Thanks for the heads up.
