About this product

Product Information

The second film directed by actor Bill Paxton is a marked departure--in both form and content--from his debut, 2001's FRAILTY, a shadowy, gothic tale of murder. THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED is a sports movie slash Horatio Alger rags-to-riches tale with undertones of class consciousness and social critique. The story is based on a real-life event--the 1913 U.S. Open golf championship--at which two equally sympathetic young men, both of whom grew up economically and socially disadvantaged, go club to club in one of the most exciting and dramatic athletic events of the early 20th century. The film focuses on the competition between the British star Harry Vardon (Stephen Dillane) and the young American prodigy Francis Ouimet (HOLES star Shia LaBoeuf). Though they hail from opposite sides of the Atlantic, the struggles that the two young golfers have had to overcome are markedly similar; both grew up in hard-scrabble, working-class homes that happened to be adjacent to golf courses, and both were preternaturally disposed to the game. In addition, both must defy the disdain of the golfing gentry. Vardon is already a reigning champion and international darling when Ouimet makes it to his first tournament to battle him. Though enough backstory is provided to connect the viewers to the characters, the meat of the film is the dramatic unfolding of the tournament. With expert editing and fluid camera work, Paxton films close-up views of the golfing action in a manner that recalls the kinetic pool shots in Martin Scorsese's THE COLOR OF MONEY. With each stroke, the competition becomes closer and the mood more tense, culminating in an explosive outcome that, while not unexpected, pulls at the heartstrings as do all good tales of triumph over adversity.

    An excellent family film

    An excellent family film, a bit of golf, but in truth, it is more about class struggle in An elite world. Though it is set in Victorian times it seems to be becoming more relevant today with the onset of such vast income Inequality. A true and intriguing story, well worth the watch!

  • Uplifting and true story of a hero amateur in golf's early days.

    I love this movie. It's one of those one can watch over and over again. It's on golf channel all the time, but with commercials, and I just read the book, so I wanted to have a copy. All the actors are perfect for their roles. I was impressed with how all the facts were represented and incorporated into an entertaining movie. A hard-to-believe-it's-true-but-it-is story of two of golf's greatest ever spanning two different generations and how their worlds intertwined over 10 years or so. I walked away loving, and really respecting, both Vardon and Ouimet. Both the book and the movie provide insight into golf's beginnings as a "gentleman's game" where professionals were looked down on. A sidenote: interesting to ponder how differently Vardon's infidelity was treated (it's not in the ...

  • Too good to be true?

    ...yet it is. This is the story of a young man who aspires to be the best in a game that one of his “station” and background shouldn’t even be playing. This is the stuff that made Horatio Alger a very popular author - except it’s not fiction.

  • This " feel good " film is a MUST SEE ! Golf is more than just a " Game " .

    The Greatest Game Ever Played is a movie which my husband ( a golfer ) and I ( non golfer ) have watched many times. It is one of those heart - warming , inspirational stories that makes one feel good about life and people. Our 13 year old grandson is a young golfer just learning the techniques of the game. But golf is more than a sport, it is an ongoing lesson in morality and good sportsmanship . This movie portrays those ideals throughout. We purchased the DVD for our grandson. As a true story of a great golfer who triumphed against many odds, it teaches perseverance. While the life-long friendship which develops between Francis Ouimet and his caddie , Eddie Lowery , is a life lesson to be admired. A wonderful film to be enjoyed by any golfer and a family friendly story to share with ...

  • Tee it up.

    A dramatization of the remarkable 1913 US Open involving the young amateur Francis Oimet, Harry Varden, and what the golf world looked like back then. 5 stars.
