Seven Days in Utopia

A sports drama that will leave you on the green, but not necessarily feeling satisfied. Based on Dr. David Lamar Cook's book Golf's Sacred Journey: Seven Days at the Links of Utopia, this 2011 film tells the story of Luke Chisholm, a young golfer who crashes his car and finds himself stranded in small-town Texas, where he learns valuable lessons from a retired pro about reconciling with his overbearing father and finding success on the course. The movie follows Chisholm as he navigates a pivotal moment in his golfing career, but its predictably staged narrative and lack of depth may leave some viewers feeling like they're stuck in a bad sand trap.
