My Review:

 

This film is a touching story covering the topic of golf and how his young teenager, Jeremy has a dream of achieving his goal of a golf scholarship and making into the State Championships. The film showed the relationships of the brothers like brothers are and they typically fight sometimes and argue. This leads to conflicts in the movie. His younger brother, Ethan also has autistic. He is expected to help raise and watch his younger brother when his mom starts a new job. At first, he acts out and is very upset about the new responsible again. A tragic accident helps change his entire perceptive and outlook on life. His brother finally becomes his caddy after he was dead set against him being so. He soon realized that his younger brother has a special gift that he can help him in his golfing games. There are challenges against the other golf players and they try and get him banned. 




 

The film was very interesting and engaging. It shows how life can change in an instant and we can decide to either move forward or to stay stuck. We can choose to see something as a burden or a blessing. I loved how family friendly this film is and you won’t be seeing any bad language or content. There is even some humous scenes in the film. The film contains a lot of newer actors and actresses. The main person people may recognize is Brandon Potter from the Chosen, Mackenzie Astin, (The Pitt), and Katherine Cunningham (Yellowstone, Chicago Fire, Mind Games). The acting is great and they all did an excellent job in their roles and watchers will find them all enjoyable and relatable.
