See it in theaters for two nights only on April 18 & 19.
Paul McAllister is convinced that he has the world by the tail. Sure, his family is a mess and he's a jerk to the little guys out there, but, hey, business is going great and that's what's most important, right? With a set of golf clubs and wearing a bowtie the Old Pro just might show him a little truth...the real question is if it will be in time?
Golf isn't my thing but after seeing and enjoying Seven Days In Utopia a number of years ago and then reading the blurb for The Mulligan film I thought it sounded pretty good. I also thought my parents would get a kick out of seeing Pat Boone in the wise old sage role as they grew up during the height of his popularity. You know, what was the funniest thing? I'm the one who liked his character the best...He got the best one-liners and I loved his jaunty golf outfits, oh, and then there were his driving skills...
Everyone needs a Mulligan, not just once, but many times throughout their lives. While it may not be as dramatic as the fictional Paul McAllister's, or it may be even more so, those second chances seasoned with a little bit of Grace may make all of the difference in the world...
The Mulligan was an enjoyable movie all around. It's family friendly and there is a little wisdom in there for everyone. My parents and I watched it together and, though none of us are golfers, it had us engaged and enjoying the story. The humorous and poignant moments blended together into a good movie that any of us would watch again. The Mulligan was definitely one of those that I would pick up on DVD so I COULD watch it again...
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives The Mulligan a 4.5 Bark rating.
