Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Golf Movie Ever
This is, quite simply, the best golf movie ever made. Yes, it is low budget in the early days of HBO films, but it is a well-acted, well-written movie. Randy Quaid turns in a brilliant performance. The supporting cast is equally skilled. The writing is superb. This movie OUGHT to be released on DVD. A better cast, top to bottom, than Tin Cup (with apologies to Cheech Marin). THE golf movie.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Dead Solid Perfect
Best golf movie ever made. Very faithful to Dan Jenkins book. Golf scenes are realistic (much better than Tin Cup). I would love to see it out on dvd, have been looking for it for years.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - golf life as it used to be
As a former tour player now out of the game, this film captures alot of what the PGA tour used to be.

Would love to see this movie out in DVD (haven't owned a VCR in years)soon! As per other reviews, B movie with great content and storyline. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - "You always were a silly old romantic, Spec."
I wrote HBO pictures a few years ago begging for a DVD release, and still we're forced to wait, and wait, and wait.

This is the quintessential golf movie. While I enjoyed Tin Cup, it was nowhere near as engaging as Dead Solid Perfect. This movie is very different than Caddyshack and equally as funny in parts.

Caddyshack's poking fun at the country club lifestyle and Dead Solid Perfect's views of being a PGA touring professional in the 80s are worlds apart, but the golf is what matters ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Corinne Bohrer alone is worth the price of admission
I haven't seen this VHS product, but I've seen the movie on cable TV. It's not the greatest movie, though it has its moments. The saving grace is that Corinne Bohrer is gorgeous in it. But I'm kind of biased. I've always been a Corinne Bohrer fan.
