Former golf pro Rannulph Junuh (Matt Damon) loses interest
in the game after returning from World War I but finds inspiration from a mysterious caddy
(Will Smith), who helps Junuh compete in a tournament sponsored by an ex-lover (Charlize
Theron). Also with Joel Gretsch, Jack Lemmon, Bruce McGill, J. Michael Moncrief, Andrea
Powell and Lane Smith. [2:05]
SEX/NUDITY 3 - A few kisses and a brief moment of sexual innuendo (a woman
walks into a room as a man talks about a woman putting something in her mouth -- it's
unclear what he is describing, although salaciousness is implied). A man and woman kiss
passionately as they begin to undress (only his jacket and tie and the sheer outer layer
on her dress are removed). A woman undresses to a full slip as she and a man talk about
having sex; she then sits on his clothed lap and they kiss. A man hits a golf ball into a
woman's cleavage as she lays on the floor.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A war scene with a few explosions and people falling down
when hit; some corpses with no bloody wounds are also shown. A man clutches his chest as
he has a heart attack and falls down. We hear a gunshot and then see a man's hand, which
was holding a gun, fall open. A group of people are nearly hit by a golf ball in two
separate scenes. A boy falls from a tree (played for laughs). We hear war sounds in a
man's memory.

PROFANITY 4 - Many mild obscenities, a couple of scatological references,
and an anatomical reference. [profanity glossary]

MESSAGE - When you play the game of life, play for enjoyment rather than for
victory.
