(1 - 14) of 14 OFCS Rating: 21% Rotten Page   1   2/4 "If only the movie were as interesting as Jones' actual life and achievements."   Kansas City Star   Dan Lybarger A- "It is nice to be reminded every so often that competition can be emotionally rewarding as much, if not more, than monetary gain."   FilmJerk.com   Edward Havens "The sort of film wherein Bobby can't win a tournament until he can control his temper."   City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul   Eric Henderson C- "Earnest, plodding docudrama...Bobby Jones might have had a stroke of genius, but this reverential biography about him is a movie of mediocrity."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/5 "Much like the many “Jesus” movies, the film stays clear of controversy and plays it safe, making the casting of Jim Caviezel even more ironical."   ToxicUniverse.com   John A. Nesbit C "[Director Herrington's] unbalanced structure is too front-loaded making the film a long, if fitfully engaging, sit"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2.5/5 "Herrington celebrates both the near-mystical love of golf that drives devotees and Jones' victory over self-doubt and the relentless pressure of other people's expectations ... but does so in the most saccharine terms."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "Glowing, soft-focus, hagiographic, toothless..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson C- "Lots of loving shots of sun-dappled greens, slow-mo swings and swelling strings, golden light with hooting panpipes, and Kipling, Will Rogers, Tennyson, and more Kipling."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1.5/5 "an infomercial that can’t end soon enough."   Filmcritic.com   Pete Croatto B- "an earnest attempt to portray the life of a sport legend"   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford C+ "Destined to reach a tiny audience of serious golf fanatics and Caviezel fans… Caviezel convincingly projects Jones's sincerity, flashes of anger, and bursts of pain."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 1/4 "As an actor Caviezel's a good plaster bust, and Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius is just the hermetically sealed showcase for his display."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 3/10 Read review   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger  (1 - 14) of 14 OFCS Rating: 21% Rotten Page   1
