Wait that was Claire from modern family what the fuck
Golf is cool. I like this film a lot, it doesn’t take itself too seriously, it does random stuff like kill off main characters in stupid ways. Funny film and kind of refreshing to watch a film that’s just a lot of fun and nothing else. His main motivation is to look after his grandma and he doesn’t have the same generic fight with the love interest that every other film like this usually has so it was kinda unexpectedly wholesome and satisfying to watch. It’s just a simple and funny golf movie and that’s all it needed to be.
Definitely up there with Adam Sandler’s best films. It’s not anything special but it’s easy to watch and enjoyable and that’s all it needed to be. Hard to hate on it.
7.7/10
