I’ll say right off the bat: I LOVED “The Greatest Game Ever Played”! It’s the film that made me slightly fan-crazed for Shia Labeouf, and it’s just a great movie.
THE MOVIE: Based on real-life golfer Francis Ouimet, it tells the story of how he beat the odds of his working-class life to play in the 1913 U.S. Open Championship against pro Harry Vardon (Stephen Dillane). Josh Flitter as Ouimet’s pint-sized caddy is a hoot! Directed by “Big Love” star Bill Paxton, it’s rated PG for some brief mild language, so basically a family movie good for ages 7 and older. It hits store shelves on Blu-ray June 16, 2009.
THE GIVEAWAY: One Blu-ray Disc of “The Greatest Game Ever Played.”
BONUS FEATURES: Audio commentary with Paxton, audio commentary with author/screenwriter/producer Mark Frost, “From Caddie to Champion: Francis Ouimet,” “Two Legends and The Great Game,” and “On the Set of The Great Game Ever Played.”
