Sit this one out. Please.

A lightweight, modestly engaging yarn.

A movie that speaks well and truly to essentials in the kind of unhurried terms that most modern movies don't even dare to espouse.

The movie does contain some heartfelt performances.

Accepting the zen of golf is easy. It's The Legend of Bagger Vance and a callow Will Smith as a mystical golf guru that's hard to swallow.

Benign, banal, and sometimes boring inspirational drama.

It handles a sports movie the way Billie Holiday handled a trashy song, by finding the love and pain beneath the story.

Instead of taking on a life of its own, Redford's film reminds you of ones you've seen before. Legends deserve better.

It offers pleasures of a kind that fewer and fewer films even seem to remember, much less aspire to.

The competition sequences on the golf links, with the splendid camera work of Michael Ballhaus, and exactly the right amount of digital tweaking, are the real revelations of this film.

Another lusciously produced, emotionally clammy Redford enterprise -- forced, phony mythmaking filled with tinged sunsets and full moons.

Some people will find it simplistic and cliched.
