4/5 Don't let the desire for greatness detract from your inner values
  by Gertrud Kahler (Southern California)
What I take from this movie is the message that it IS possible for the dazzle of success and fame to cloud your judgment. The lasting message is not about golf. It is about seeking what you want to achieve for yourself, and not for the enhancement of other people's egos. I don't want to spoil the plot line for those who have not seen it yet. But if you have seen this film, hopefully you know what I mean.
The story is done with a light hand, not relying on overly dramatic posturing for the camera. Mason Gamble does an excellent job of showing the pure joy of a personal success (perfecting the golf swing), to the disappointment he feels from his father, to the sadness of what happens to his fellow caddy buddy, to the blushes of first lust. Gary Sinise is as understated as usual, a lot of what he has to say at the end of the movie coming from his body language and facial expressions rather than from dialogue.
I found it to be a feel good movie, and I recommend it for a rainy or snowy afternoon.

4/5 Great Movie
  by T. Nugent (Inverkip, Inverclyde, Scotland)
"A Gentleman's Game" is a great movie, with great acting from the principle cast, especially Gary Sinise. The only two flaws I can point out are:-
1) The character of Molly is miscast.
2) A little too much swearing that conceals the sweet nature of the film.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a good film, even if you aren't a big golf fan, which, by the way, I wasn't, yet I still found it enjoyable!!!!

1/5 Worst golf movie ever? One of the worst movies ever.
  by Orion26.2
I'm both a golfer and a movie buff. Caddyshack, Happy Gilmore, and Stroke of Genius are the exceptions. Most golf movies are pretty bad. Until I saw "A Gentleman's Game", I thought Caddyshack 2 took the cake--no more. Is this movie about an aspiring young golfer, a comback story, an overbearing father story, a drunk racist story, a depressed mother story, a teen love affair story, or a sexual abuse story? I don't know. This movie tries to be all of these at random times. In my opinion, this isn't just the worst golf movie ever, it's one of the worst movies I ever sat through. It makes Caddyshack 2 seem worthy of an Oscar. Gary Sinise, how bad did you really need this paycheck?

5/5 Classy, funny, warm and important.
  by John Mills (Southern Illinois)
A terrific movie with everything one could hope for and expect. I liked this movie for it's realism. They threw thr "F" word around a bit deliberately poking fun at movies with gratuitous foul language, I found it apprpriate. Very entertaining, describing golf well and making very good suggestions about life-decisions, I love this movie and highly recommend it.

1/5 Half of a Good Movie
  by Buckminster (Saint Charles, Missouri)
The first half starts to tell a good golf story. But somewhere on the way to a good movie the need to make the point that all rich people are basically evil gets in the way. The second half of the movie just made me shake my head with how bad a movie can be when scoring political points becomes the objective.
