Snider 2.5/4 "Doing justice to the sport but not entirely to the drama which suffers from choppy introductions and half-hearted class distinctions in Mark Frost’s screenplay."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B- "The title's definitely an exaggeration; this isn't a great 'Game,' but it's a pretty good one."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "An American working-class youth takes on an immensely talented Englishman in the 1913 U.S. Open and surprises everyone."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "The Greatest Game Ever Played is as feel-good as any sports movie you're likely to find."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli '3/4' "A wholesome family film with loads of mainstream appeal."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 7/10 "...the film is so well made, the acting so good, the period so well captured, and the photography so captivating that it's hard not to like it."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3/5 "If you're not willing to stand in the rain during a major tournament, you're gonna get bored with these movies."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 3/4 "Better suspense than many sports movies, in spite of clichés and anachronisms"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes B "Gets a little lost in the rough, but straight down the middle is a nice underdog story about a 20-year-old former caddy who beats the greatest player in the world. "   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/5 "not a feel-good, root-for-the-underdog movie, but a caricature of one"   MovieWeb   Pete Croatto B+ "The most visually and emotionally dynamic film ever made about a game of golf — perhaps the most visually and emotionally dynamic possible film about a game of golf."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 5/10 "Aside from the title's hyperbole, it's yet another uplifting, feel-good sports story that's destined to be a perennial on TV's Golf Channel."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger  (1 - 18) of 18 OFCS Rating: 67% Fresh Page   1
