"I would rather eat a golf ball than see this movie again."

I think it's safe to say Roger Ebert will not be watching Seven Days In Utopia when it re-airs on Lifetime. The golf movie opens today with Robert Duvall starring in a performance Ebert noted:

The geezer is named Johnny Crawford. He is played by Robert Duvall. Only a great actor could give such a bad performance. Duvall takes the arts and skills he has perfected for decades and puts them at the service of a flim-flam man who embodies all the worst qualities of the Personal Motivation Movement. That is the movement that teaches us that if we buy a book, view some DVDs or sit for hours in the "Conference Center" of some crappy hotel, we won't be losers anymore.
