This inspiring biographical drama recounts the true story of Francis Ouimet, a 20-year-old amateur golfer who, against all odds, competed in and won the 1913 U.S. Open. Parents should be aware of some themes of class struggle and the pressures of competition, which are handled gently. The film is a heartwarming tale about perseverance and sportsmanship, making it a great watch for ages 8 and up.
