Mid Week Movie Review

I saw two movies that I would call SLEEPERS; movies that just didn't quite make it big in the theatre and yet are great little movies!
They are 'Shop Girl' &
'The Greatest Game Ever Played.'
Shop Girl comes from a Novella by Steve Martin.
It's an interesting film, mainly cute, but has a few rich deep tones that make it human.
The Greatest Game Ever Played deals with the 1913 US Open. Golf was getting very popular as 'The Gentleman's Game' & the Brits had every intention on bring the cup back over the ocean. One snag, it's the US Open meaning amateurs are allowed! Good true story about one of the greatest games in the world!
Interesting that both these films are Disney films, Touchstone being one of Disney's studies that produced 'Shop Girl.'
