MY CRITZ
Ok, so I'm a girly girl who loves chick flick, who hates sports, and loves drama. I'm thinking in my head "who in their right mind would want to make a movie about golf???!!" AND "who would wanna see it??!!". Well, thanks to haceem who forced me to watch the damn thing, it's not that bad. In fact, it's pretty good. Unlike any biopic, that tends to have lenghty explanation on what, why and how, the pace of the storytelling is perfect. The cinematography is stunning. I louuuuveee the Eddie's character in this movie. A 5th grader who offered himself to be Francis's caddy even though his height is as tall as the golf bag itself. He's the cutest lil' kid ever, and so wise for a 5th grader.
