Product Description Product DescriptionAn amateur player from a working class family francis ouimet shocked the golf world when at the 1913 us open flanked by his 10-year-old caddie: he defeated his idol the defending british champion harry vardon. An unlikely matchup theirs was the greatest match the sport had ever known. Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 08/15/2008 Starring: Shia La Beouf Stephen Dillane Run time: 121 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Bill PaxtonYou wouldn't think a movie that uses the game of golf as a metaphor for class struggle could be so entertaining. The Greatest Game Ever Played stars the charming Shia LaBeouf as Francis Ouimet, a golfer who, in 1913, rose from caddy to U.S. Open champion at the age of 20--despite the resistance of the powers that be, who thought it unseemly for a lower-class plebian to play the sport of gentlemen. Ouimet's main competitor is Harry Vardon , a British professional, still considered one of the greatest players of all time, who fought his own class battles. The two go head to head in a genuinely gripping match, deftly balanced against the juxtapositions of their personal struggles. Is it sentimental and formulaic? Is the outcome a foregone conclusion? Yes, but it doesn't matter--formulas exist because, when executed with verve and dexterity, they work. Bill Paxton, best known as an actor , steps into the director's chair and hits all the right notes, aided by an excellent cast playing colorful characters, a vivid recreation of the time period, glowing cinematography, and an expert pace. The Greatest Game Ever Played works. --Bret Fetzer
