THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE, based on the book of the same title by Steve Pressfield, uses golf as the basis for this spiritual tale of friendship, self-discovery, and faith. His incredible prowess at the game of golf makes young Rannulph Junuh (Matt Damon) the pride of Savannah, Georgia in 1916. When Junuh enlists and is sent overseas to fight in World War I, the reality of war proves too much for him. Rather than return to Savannah a broken man, he simply disappears, much to the dismay of his girlfriend, feisty socialite Adele Invergordon (Charlize Theron). When Junuh finally does return to S... avannah in 1931, he is coerced into representing his hometown in a golf tournament against legends Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen. But Junuh has lost his swing, and only begins to find it again with the help of Bagger Vance (Will Smith), a mysterious drifter who appears out of the night and offers his services as a caddy. Ultimately, Vance is a spiritual force, teaching Junuh not only about the game, but also about life in this beautifully filmed work directed by Robert Redford (ORDINARY PEOPLE, THE HORSE WHISPERER). Jack Lemmon narrates and makes a brief appearance in the film.

The setup to the story was rushed. A voice over narritive by Jack Lemmon is dying to be whimsical and touching but dies trying. The prologue's precis of the horrors of war is terribly rushed leaving no particular impression of or connection with the characters. The exaggerated southern accents evident throughout the cast only accentuate the scripts...
Dressed up in the three way competition between the top two golfers in America and the local ex-hero, and taking place shortly after the first world war - this movie has a lot of themes going at the same time: the love of a woman (Charlise Theron looking more delicious than ever as a capricious Mint Julep) for a man wrecked and ruined by the carnage of World War I (Matt Damon looking a little uncomfortable in the role), and his redemption through the game of golf with the help of a spiritual guide (Will Smith loving the role, and almost hamming it up TOO much).
