Grew up with Seve as my golfing hero - next to Kack Nicklaus - so always wanted to watch this film but never got round to it Firstly, it's basically a documentary, but. It has a nice easy storyline, with a decent look at growing up in Northern SpainIt documents his childhood well, and becomes a well written, if slightly predictable storySomehow, in the second half of the film, it takes on a life of its own. Lots of TV footage from the day, but somehow it works. It results in an extraordinarily emotional last 20 minutes, which I will leave you to explore Superb!!

Seve the Movie is a smart and unconventional biopic that is as every bit entertaining as it is informative. Director John-Paul Davidson's fourth feature is centered on Seve Ballesteros, who shines throughout his pre-teens to adulthood as Spain's finest golfer. Newcomer José Luis Gutiérrez does an exceptional job portraying young Seve as he faces odds at home, school, and his caddy job at the golf course his brother works at. Throughout the film, there are cuts to documentary footage that make it clear Seve accomplishes his aspiration to be a pro-golfer. Despite knowing the outcome of Seve's career, the film does a great job keeping the audience's attention and emotions invested in young Seve. Furthermore, the cinematography fully realizes the setting of 1970s Spain. Seve the Movie tells Seve Ballesteros' life story in a way that is engaging and inspiring.

Having watched the film it shows the greatest players are those who work the hardest. The film is a great inspiration to all that anything is possible and it all comes down to W A N T and how badly you want it! The mix of acting bringing the story of Seve with Seve telling the story of his life gave a great sense of the passion he and his family had and what a great family they all are. Well done to all involved in this film and hopefully in time it gets shown on TV!! Having seen Seve play over many years winning tournaments with that passion that few others have the film takes you back and shows how he grew up and how that passion was born? We see the places where he grew up, Yes the film Is a documentary biography and the sad ending leaves a genuine sense of loss of a great sportsman. What makes this a great film is that mix of story telling but the person who the film is about actually involved in telling his story.The sad ending with Seve actually talking about his illness and his determination and struggle to keep going gave the film a truly emotional ending.

Dragged along a mate last night in Leatherhead to see this ultimate tribute to a golfing god. I loved everything about this movie and it was so creative they brought Seve the kid back to life with a lovable little kid who was his spit and image, both in character and on the course. There was even about 15 minutes of new footage even I hadn;t seen before - and I thought I'd seen the lot on Seve via Dana on youtube! Really brought him back to life and paid perfect testimony to all Seve accomplished from lowly roots to the pinnacle of the game. It's a proper story, almost a fairytale. But it's all true. Seve was the greatest and while I never give anything 10 since ET, this came close. Even my mate was surprised and blubbing. DVD comes out this month, get it for anyone who loves golf, sport or has a flicker of human emotion. Seve the man delivers more feeling in a look, smile, or scowl than you'd get in most relationships.
