Birdies

From the guys experimenting with other guys, the drugs and drinking, the girls who have more tattoos than writing on a truck stop bathroom wall ... has about as much resemblance to golf as Biden does to intelligence. The humor is crude, the cast weak, the script ... wait, was there a script?

I think this movie might be enjoyable if you're high ... well, really high.

I'd avoid this one if you're actually looking for a movie involving golf. I think "The Wiz" has a miniature golf scene ... better than this whole film.

IN A NUTSHELL: The film was directed by Troy Carlton, as well as written by him with writing help from David Longo and Nate Panning. I'm assuming they were all drunk during the process.

Because the movie is about golf, I assumed the title gets its name from the golf term. NO! Well, sort of, but it's mostly because we see people flip the bird MANY, MANY times in the movie.

THINGS I LIKED: The cast definitely looked like they had a blast making this movie.

Most viewers won't recognize any of the actors. The cast includes Sydney Penny, Ryan O'Flanagan, Madison Moss, Devin McGee, Zach Hanner, Timmy Sherrill, Aerli Austen, Ed Wagenseller, and Nate Panning.

Golfers who love poking fun at the country-club life might get a kick out of this.

It's the kind of movie a bunch of drunk guys will enjoy playing in the background while they hang out.

THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: This is extremely low-brow golf.

People speak in such ugly ways to one another One of the women in the movie had a super cantankerous personality and then suddenly became saccharine sweet in the end for no reason. I hate it when characters completely shift their personalities and motivations at the end of that movie just to provide audiences with a happy ending.

The two romances in the story are really dumb.

There's a scene shot indoors where the light from the window blinds kept shining on one of the actor's faces.

Most of the time in this movie is spent watching completely wasted, lazy, quirky characters trying to get out of work.

Lots of plot holes For a comedy, most of the humor doesn't land unless you're wasted.

TIPS FOR PARENTS: This is NOT appropriate for kids.

Super crude conversations and visuals Profanity and tons of F-bombs You see a man's rear end several times People flip a million "birds" An unmarried couple in bed moans while pleasuring themselves You see a certain sex toy several times Sooo much alcohol People get high on various kinds of drugs A man has a heart attack and ends up in the hospital

THEMES: Golf Brotherhood Hope Friendship Relationships Choices and consequences

First things first. Movie is no Caddyshack, but a solid giggle worthy 4-5. The girl playing Emily has a beautiful swing, so I looked her up & she's actually a pro (first movie) on the LPGA tour. Ranked 21 I think. Not too sure. Info was hard to find.

Anyhoo... I didn't feel as I need those 90 ish minutes back. Watch worthy.

At least find actors that can swing a golf club. These people couldn't act or play the game. The young lady was a great golfer and the only shining example to watch Swing a club.

Writing and Production were horrible. Bad lines and bad acting made this completely difficult to watch. Almost never did they get the timing of dialogue right. I'd describe it as a D movie. Good luck to all the actors who gave this a try; I hope it doesn't kill too many careers.

I suspect this was a group of friends who decided to try to make the next Caddyshack, but failed miserably. They really needed professional guidance all along the way because this was below what a bunch of amateurs could create with a run down course and a go-pro.

This is a great golf movie. It's story is the same as all golf movies and it could've done something with a name brand comedian. It isn't a netflix and chill, it's something you put on in the background with your buddies drafting fantasy football.
