I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

One of my all time favorites.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Seve The Movie is not all glitz and glamour of the world champion golfer. Seve The Movie shows the trials and tribulations of a young Spanish boy of Pedreña, and how he overcame them. People said he was to young, but his swing was finely tuned. People said he couldn't play because he was a caddie, so he practiced endlessly on the beach during the day, later sneaking onto the golf course at night so he could play. From being a farm boy, whose parents just wanted him to work on the farm and attend school, Seve Ballesteros believed in himself and gave golf all of his attention, resulting him getting thrown out of school at 14 years old. Becoming a professional golfer at 16, to winning many international championships such as: The Open three times, and the Masters Tournament twice. John-Paul Davidson does a great job with the film structure as he paints a vibrant picture for his audience transitioning from Seve's childhood, to his championship campaign. Seve Ballesteros will forever be remembered as the great Spanish golfer from Pedreña who changed the way the game of golf is played. Learn his story to help start yours. http://bit.ly/1WBE1yk

From humble beginnings on his family farm, to charming the world with his artistic play style, Seve Ballesteros was not only a champion on the field, but a champion in our hearts. Seve isn't a film just about golf, it is an awe-inspiring journey that shows you what it truly means to follow your passions to the end of the world. Director John-Paul Davidsons' portrayal of Seve's formative years, alongside marvelous human-esque performances by Jose Luis Gutierrez (Young Seve), Jose Navar (Seve's Father) and Maria Molins (Seve's Mother), not only allowed us to better understand the character of Seve himself, but showed us the importance that family, passion, and dedication played in the pursuit of his dreams. Seve Ballesteros was an artist on the field, and throughout the film the audience is enchanted by the way he paints the green like a canvas. With his old trusty three iron and a rich history under his belt, Seve had a chemistry with the green more magnetic than any other athlete to date. Whether you're a golf lover, film buff, or a just kid with a dream, Seve is a movie you won't soon forget.

SEVE: The Movie was an inspirational biopic that opened a window into the life of the Spanish golf legend Seve Ballesteros. It follows Seve all the way through his life from childhood to his untimely death from brain cancer in 2011. The film really immerses you in his life. During the flashbacks to his childhood, recounted with very talented actors such as José Luis Gutiérrez who plays Seve.The movie is in Spanish with English subtitles. Gutiérrez is a fantastic young actor who really nailed Seve's iconic swing and his light-hearted attitude. Also interspersed throughout the movie were some great archival clips of Seve playing golf at various championships that he competed in such as the Ryder Cup and the Masters. There were also some real interviews with Seve. All of this combined really made the movie a terrific tribute to his man, and his passion was palpable through the actors and through the shots we got to see of him playing the sport that he loved so much. The film was also a great tribute to the sport of golf itself, showing its intricacies and the drama that can be involved in it. Overall, a great film that I would recommend to anyone with even the slightest interest in golf.

I hardly ever give things 10 out of 10, bar Casablanca and Seven, but this film certainly achieves what it sets out to: an enthusiastically-told tribute to what must've been an amazing man. Slightly saccharine flashbacks to his childhood are offset by jaw-dropping footage, interesting interviews and an ending which keeps picking up in emotive punch.Self-indulgence, however, is never a problem (despite a near two-hour running time) as the flashbacks actually end up serving the documentary footage well (the young Seve is a revelation, albeit in a highly specialised role) while the real Seve and his contemporaries add more gravitas, relevance, humour and pathos to the making of this great sportsman.Rounded of with a thumping if samey score, this gets top marks for innovation. One or two less for overall enjoyment perhaps, but that's merely the limit of the story's limited confines. Different, dazzling in places, but they make the best of what's available. And no-one should be penalised for that.
