Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Bobby Jones deserves a better movie than this one.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
Destined to reach a tiny audience of serious golf fanatics and Caviezel fans Caviezel convincingly projects Jones's sincerity, flashes of anger, and bursts of pain.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
[T]here's just not that much thrill in watching that little ball rolling toward the hole.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
It'll probably delight the golf junkies who presumably funded this project, but their green is not enough to make the movie's greens light up the screen.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Delivers nothing more and nothing less than one would expect from a boilerplate sports biography, which is to say, the standard triumph against a litany of standard obstacles.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Even the staunchest of golfheads must know they're watching a cut-and-trite accounting, rather than a fanciful evocation.
Seattle Times
Ted Fry
As happens occasionally on the putting green, there are brief flashes of tension and drama, but more often it's a long slog to the 18th hole as thoughts drift to that icy martini waiting in the clubhouse.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Was Bobby Jones really this great a guy? Who knows? But after watching the greed that has consumed sports and the anti-heroes that have consumed modern films, finding someone to clap for is an OK way to pass the time.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Jones deserved better than a biopic with a TV-movie heart.
Philadelphia Inquirer
David Hiltbrand
Plays out much like a round of golf -- slow, old-fashioned, tediously long, and lacking in drama.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
This creaky, slow-chugging jalopy of a movie grows on you.
New York Post
Megan Lehmann
A sluggish meander through the life of the man considered by many to be a deity of golfing.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
I found this to be among the most boring, flat and cliched sports movies I've ever seen.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Earnest, old-fashioned and undeniably dull.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
If Bobby Jones was a more complex individual, you'd never guess it from the film, which mines an endless string of sports cliches and passages from literature.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Bobby Jones had a golf swing remembered as sheer poetry in motion, and much of the movie about him demonstrates the same grace.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
No doubt we should be grateful that Jones' story isn't churned up into soap opera and hyped with false crises and climaxes; it is the story of a golfer, and it contains a lot of golf.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Amazingly, it engages your attention and even respect while trotting out every clubhouse cliche in the book.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
Long on craft but short on drama, leaving it far short of the green.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
A high-minded, lethally dull biography of the legendary golfer Bobby Jones.
