The Greatest Game Ever Played
It’s tee time when “The Rookie” meets “Cinderella Man” on the links. Once again Disney has worked its imagineering magic to tell the inspirational and heartwarming story about a young amateur golfer, Francis Ouimet, from a working class family trying to compete in a gentlemen’s game for the rich and upper class. It is based on a true story that climaxes at the 1913 U.S. Open pitting professionals and amateurs against each other to prove who is the best golfer in the world. The entire cast all give good solid performances, but Francis’ 10-year old caddie practically steals the show. The special effects are clever and spectacular. The movie builds amazing drama, tension, and excitement just in following a little white dimpled ball flying through the air and rolling along the grass. Alien highly recommends this family film.
Alien gives it 4 “never give up on your dream” stars out of 4.

Alan, thank you again for inviting me to the movie. Wow, it is good to be current in seeing a new movie.
The fact that this is work-related, I don't feel guilty seeing a movie. The movie dramatizes what equal opportunity means. Laws and sexual harassment policies are sometimes abstract.
