Class struggle on the links, along with an England-vs.-America thing and a professional-vs.-amateur thing. The game in question is not golf in general, but specifically the eighteen-hole playoff of the 1913 U.S. Open. Shia LaBeouf has a nice quiet self-assurance as the former caddy, Francis Ouimet, who goes up against his idol, the British champion Harry Vardon (Stephen Dillane). But the wise and wisecracking pint-sized caddy (Josh Flitter) is a pain in the neck, and the film gets carried away with digital effects (an animated ladybug alighting on a golf ball, etc.), and it spends a lot of time on game action without uncovering interesting details or convincing us that golf is a credible spectator sport. With Peyton List, Stephen Marcus, Peter Firth, Luke Askew; directed by Bill Paxton. (2005) — Duncan Shepherd
