A Masterpiece!
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
I thought this film was worse than Plan 9 from Outer Space. Similarly to Edward Wood, the director will be very famous in the future, I am very confident of that.I could learn to love this film if I thought it were a parody - but it isn't. Tragically.Sets are woefully inadequate, acting with more wood than Tiger himself, comic bit-parts, abysmal script.... there is nothing redeeming except the undoubtedly gripping story, and the good resemblance of Tiger's screen mother to his real mum. Colin Montgomerie on the other hand...Ooh, but the score covering the closing credits is highly entertaining!
I usually don't review tv movies because they usually aren't worthwhile. This film is no exception, but I had to throw in my two cents because of maybe the worst actor I've ever seen. Unfortunately, for Showtime (the makers of the film), it wasn't a supporting actor, but their lead. Khalil Kain, the guy who plays Tiger, is abysmal. Stiff line readings, emotionless, totally unlikable. Hardly bore resemblance as well. These aspects just cause the viewer to be distracted by making comments to others in the room (or to themselves) about how lousy the casting director is. As far as the film, it's by the numbers familiararity, and ends just when Woods was getting rolling in life! One of those flicks you recommend to people because it's so entertaining on a bad level.
I thought this film was alot better than I thought it was going to be. The film was really engaging and the story of this family and what it went through was rather inspiring. Keith David was excellent as Earl Woods and the woman who played his wife was also quite good. >Anyway, two thumbs up from me.
What a piece of poorly acted crap. Pure Tiger Woods propaganda. I accidentally caught this 'film' during some channel surfing and it was so mesmerizingly bad I couldn't manage to manipulate the remote control. Reminiscent of the Senor Spielbergo directed Monty Burns epic in the Springfield Film Festival, an actual football to the groin(not just watching it happen to someone else) may be better than watching this 'movie.' A must see for anyone intrigued by poor cinema, "The Tiger Woods Story" will certainly turn your stomach.
