The game is full of suspense, twists and turns. The characters are fascinating. The locations, sets and costume designs are all first-rate. The story is held back by the Disney formula, but is strong enough to overcome it.

[An] overloaded movie.

As sports movies go, it doesn't get more exciting than this.

Ouimet versus Vardon probably was the greatest golf game ever played, and Paxton and Frost do it justice, but I wouldn't sit through another simulated hole of it for Tiger Woods's salary.

A sweet-natured, prettily photographed and at times genuinely exciting drama, bogged down by some thinly written characters and syrupy music.

Greatest Game succeeds because it has enough history and authenticity to please golf enthusiasts while maintaining enough heart and human drama to appeal to the rest.

If you're not willing to stand in the rain during a major tournament, you're gonna get bored with these movies.

I don't want to just take their word for it! Show me what was so special about this guy's game!!

The characters model some wonderful behavior for youngsters%u2014things like tolerance, restraint, persistence, good manners, and good sportsmanship. Things that, sadly, seem to have gone the way of knickers.

[Director Bill] Paxton's narrative is confusing at first, but the film is entertaining overall.

I know it's all about how well they construct the journey, but I just kind of felt like, okay, we know exactly what's going to happen here.

The film will have to settle for a bogey rather than a par.
