Here's my review for...

THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE

Well, I don't know if many of you know this but this weekend I celebrated my 11th year of Sobriety.  I was going to go to dinner and a movie for my big night, and was going to see the George Clooney movie "Leatherheads", but after hearing how bad it was, I was nervous that I would drink during the movie so I decided not to go.  Instead since it is Masters week, I decided to review a golf movie that I have never done before.  The Legend of Bagger Vance.  The reason I have never done it, is because well the movie is TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Matt Damon can't swing a golf club, and he's supposed to be some great golfer from Georgia???????????????  Bagger Vance is played by Will Smith and is kind of a ghost or something that trys to get Matt Damon back on his game.  Too bad he doesn't have any game at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Plus the two guys they have playing Bobby Jones and Walter Haggin are jokes.  Those guys swings SUCKED TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Why not hire some actors who actually play golf???????? I know that there are a bunch out there who like the game and are actually members at country clubs.  Get them on screen to actually make it look real.  The only good part of this movie was watching Jack Lemmon have a heart attack on the golf course.  What a way to go.  This movie though SUCKED and is one of the WORST golf movies of all time.
