![]() His answer: "Well, we didn't want the 'bad guy' in the movie to be K.J. I couldn't stand the disconnect, so I asked his agent/manager Michael Kim why they changed Choi's name when everyone else got to use their own. The main man to beat on the tour in the movie was K. One of the things that confused me was the fact that every golfer that had a cameo or made an appearance on the leaderboard matched their names except one. ![]() The Golf Channel on-air talent also has a heavy presence in the movie and that makes the tournament broadcast enjoyable because you hear familiar voices. 1 Luke Donald is an artist, but he went to school for it, and I've never seen him throw clubs and curse on the golf course. Some of the things that are not believable are the extraordinary abilities Chisolm gains in such a short amount of time - such as artistry with a paint brush. The lessons that are taught are wholesome and good, and when's the last time you can say that about a big studio movie? The golf that's played is real, and the temper tantrum that Chisolm displays I have seen first-hand on the golf course - including a blow-up a golfer had with his father during a tournament. If you have a pre-teen or teenage daughter and she is going on her first date and you are going to chaperone, this is the perfect movie. Now you might love ballroom dancing when you leave, but like many women have told me in the past, "Not telling me is still like lying to me." The big thing they don't tell you is that the film is heavily Christian themed, to which I'll say, like Seinfeld, "Not that there's anything wrong with that."īut to not tell people that going in is like having a beautiful woman saying, "You wanna go to the club tonight and go dancing?" And then you pull into a parking lot that says, "Welcome to Ballroom Dancing 101." Hopefully, if this 90-minute movie makes it to DVD and Blu-ray, the "Directors Cut" will have his whole vision. That would have made a huge difference in character development and storyline. I talked to director Matt Russell after the premiere and he said the original finished movie was three hours long. the whole head cheerleader with the quarterback scenario. Madison Burge plays Hannah in what I'd guess you'd call the "love interest." And Robert Bear plays Chuck the local boy who is supposed to be with Hannah, you know, because it's a small town. Robert Duvall plays eccentric rancher Johnny Crawford, who we find out was a pretty good pro back in the day himself. Because of that talent, watching him play tournament golf is about as realistic as I've seen in a golf movie. The golfer, Luke Chisolm, is played by Lucas Black, who in his own right is an extremely good golfer. "After a disastrous debut on the pro circuit, a young golfer finds himself stranded in Utopia, Texas, and welcomed by an eccentric rancher." ![]() Here's the storyline they tell you in "Seven Days in Utopia," which hits theaters this weekend: You have reached a degraded version of because you're using an unsupported version of Internet Explorer.įor a complete experience, please upgrade or use a supported browser
