![]() Some of the filming is a bit choppy, including several flashbacks that aren’t really needed, but all-in-all the heart of the story is a good one. Deborah Ann Woll and the other supporting characters do very well, oftentimes despite small roles in the story. Duvall plays his usual crusty, no-nonsense character and Lucas Black is very expressive, both when he’s happy and smiles a crooked smile, and when he’s agonizing over his life. Lucas Black and Robert Duvall turn in excellent performances. As Luke and Martin both own up to their failures and mend their relationship, we see clearly that “ Love never fails” ( 1 Corinthians 13:8). Martin’s parallel life struggle is not shown, but is insinuated vaguely at the end of the film. “ Fathers, do not exasperate your children.” Luke’s father, Martin, played somewhat weakly (and with a little too much mumbling) by Joseph Lyle Taylor, has to deal with his own shortcomings as a father, and the fact that he often pushes Luke too hard. He finds he can forgive his father, as Jesus admonishes in Matthew 6:14-15 and in the other three gospels and which Paul reminds us in Colossians 3:13. After spending his seven days in Utopia, Luke’s life is dramatically changed. The townsfolk, including pretty Sarah (Deborah Ann Woll), adopt Luke, and offer many friendly words of wisdom. Johnny uses some eccentric methods to help Luke with his golf game, while giving him some good life lessons. Johnny, a former golfer, offers to give Luke some golf advice, and challenges Luke to spend seven days in Utopia. Luke flees in anger out into the country and finds himself in a small town called Utopia, where he meets a crusty older man named Johnny ( Robert Duvall). Cook draws on his experience as a sports psychologist and uses the many tales he has heard through the years to compile an interesting story.Ī young man named Luke Chisolm ( Lucas Black) loses an important golf tournament, which causes a bitter separation between himself and his father, who serves as Luke’s caddy. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way walk in it” - Isaiah 30:21.
