During the Fall of 2011, I read the book Golf’s Sacred Journey:Seven Days At The Links of Utopia by David L. Cook, which this movie is based from, thanks to the reference of a Twitter friend. One reason why I originally wanted to watch this movie, is because of Robert Duvall being a good actor, another being that I like to play golf with my Dad once in a while, but at the same time I liked the story concept too; especially after reading the book. I was finally able to watch the film itself very recently and I wanted to see how similar this was to the original book and how well the presentation was also.
Like the book, Seven Days in Utopia is about an upcoming golfer who had a really bad day. He is frustrated partly due to his performance and partly due to his poor relationship with his father. The golfer angrily goes out for a drive and crashes his truck into a fence. Shortly after he crashes his truck he meets a man named Johnny, played by Robert Duvall, who talks the PGA hopeful into a seven-day training course while the truck is being fixed. During his time staying in Utopia, there are many lessons learned; some which are more valuable than mere golfing tips.
I loved the fact Cook himself was one of the movie’s producers, I could tell his imput was greatly considered for the picture; I hate it when movies are not true to the original book. I also loved the picture quality and seeing the golfing described in the book put into action. I thought Robert Duvall and the other actors did a great job in their performance. I also found it real neat to see some professional golfers in the film like Rickie Fowler, it gave the movie an authentic PGA feel. I only have two complaints about the movie (which might be similar to my critique of the book too): 1) it felt too short and 2) they could have talked a tad bit more about God than they did. In the grand scheme of it all, this is a movie which golf lovers will love to watch and is true to the original book.

We really enjoyed this movie. Well written, well cast, quality production - will definitely watch for more from this writer/director/producer. Shared the movie with family members of all age ranges and everyone agreed - an excellent, well made film.

Seven Days In Utopia, starring Robert Duvall (in one of his finest roles), Melissa Leo (you’ll remember her from Homicide, Life On the Streets), and Lucas Black. This film is very similar to Secondhand Lions, which starred Robert Duvall, Michael Caine, and Haley Joel Osment. During one protracted scene in Secondhand Lions, Hub, played by Robert Duvall, the three protagonists (Robert Duvall, Michael Caine, and Haley Joel Osment) are eating chili, when approached by four, seemingly tough, young men. Hub settles the matter, throwing all of them into their car, while instructing them to come to the ranch (where our three protagonists live). He then proceeds to give them instruction in how to properly live a mature, masculine life (with all of them coming to Hub’s eventual funeral). Specifically, in Seven Days In Utopia, Johnny Crawford (played by Robert Duvall), rescues Luke Chisholm (played by Lucas Black), after Luke has a vehicular crash, saving a bovine from a vehicle frontal impact. The balance of this theatrical presentation concerns Johnny teaching Luke the necessities of mature, masculine living. This is not, per se, a golfing film, though the golf footage is superb. We were watching this film, in its final shot, with no reference to the final putt being made. We commented to each other, just before Johnny does, that this film is not about making the putt, but about living! This film is one of those gems that are best purchased, along with The Apostle, Secondhand Lions, Open Range (another Robert Duvall classic), and Get Low (which stars both Robert Duvall and Lucas Black)! Enjoy!
