EW's GRADE
C+

Details Release Date: Apr 30, 2004; Rated: PG; Length: 122 Minutes; Genre: Drama; With: James Caviezel and Jeremy Northam; Distributor: Film Foundry Partners

This bucolic biopic about the great 1920s golfer is like a Ralph Lauren fantasy of lushly civilized tweed. Jim Caviezel plays Jones as a saint of golf, but he remains curiously remote, like Kevin Costner without the lazy-boy sexual charm.
