completely absurd, but a guilty pleasure of mine. smith and damon played off of each other so well and theron has never been sexier in a film, really a silly but fun movie.
Extremely bland even for it being a golf movie. The acting was just average, no one gave a standout performance. Robert Redford really tried here, but it just didn't pan out. There just wasn't a strong enough story to carry a movie. It's also incredibly corny at times.
Like many movies that have come before it, "The Legend of Bagger Vance" succeeds in being a great sports movie with a much deeper overall meaning.
Mr. Junuh (Matt Damon) has had great times in the past by being the most promising young golfer of his time and making a classic sh... read more
I kinda liked it. I don't know if I'll ever watch it again but it was a decent watch.
Golf happens to be the most boring sport you can watch on television, but in the form of a movie with a cast featuring Will Smith and Matt Damon it's pretty damn entertaining!

Cute little movie... Almost like a serious treatment of Happy Gilmore with a pretty decent cast.
This film is set up as an inspirational film. It works quite well that way. However, it is just golf!
A masterpiece. Brilliant, compelling and inspiring. One of Robert redford's finest films. It's powerful, moving and breathtaking. A piece of movie magic straight from heaven. Matt Damon is magnificent. Will Smith is extroadinary.
It offers pleasures of a kind that fewer and fewer films even seem to remember, much less aspire to.
It should be noted that the movie works uncommonly well for what it is; what's aggravating is the lost opportunity. Full Review
Redford should have spent more time thinking about his characters than about the meaning of it all.
So meticulous in its craftsmanship and so earnest in its storytelling that it feels both physically and spiritually airbrushed. Full Review
The competition sequences on the golf links, with the splendid camera work of Michael Ballhaus, and exactly the right amount of digital tweaking, are the real revelations of this film. Full Review
Supernatural is not much better than subhuman: Hollywood is still, in the year 2000, disinclined to let black actors play human beings. Full Review
Relies on a ritualized filmmaking style that leaches [Redford's] story of excitement. Full Review
