Dove Review

Director Robert Redford has assembled a cast, crew and script all bent on satisfying popcorn munchers. With his likeable actors and thought-provoking story, Redford uses the game of golf as an analogy to the “game” of life. There is a spiritual depth to the film as the title character helps the film’s hero find his way. Alas, the five profanities keep me from recommending this for family fare. Profaning God’s name was unneeded and unnecessary. I keep wondering why great filmmakers to incorporate irreverence toward the Creator in otherwise entertaining productions.
