Golf is just one of those sports that I find no appeal in whatsoever. I have played a couple times, and I enjoy the company of those I am with more than the game itself but I can do that without a golf course.
That being said, I find golf movies entertaining almost in spite of the sport itself being as amusing as watching grass grow. Especially golf comedies.
And Steve Carell looks to be heading up Missing Link, a new golf comedy that no doubt will have my attention.
It’s looking like Carell will produce and possibly star in a new golfing comedy called Missing Links, which is based on the novel by ESPN’s Rick Reilly. Carell would play a golfer angling for a better place to play. The story follows a group of bumblers who, after playing for years at a run-down municipal golf course in a working-class Boston neighborhood, concoct a series of schemes that they hope will lead to them teeing off at a nearby elite club.
I like Steve Carell for his humble everyday man personality and this looks like a good fit if he is to star in it as well.
I look forward to hearing more about this.
I just finished reading this book and thought it was great. I googled “Missing Links movie” hoping to find that a movie was made that escaped my attention and got the next best news – that it’s in the works. Can’t wait to see it.
Nice, I’ve loved anything that Steve has been involved with so this should for sure be good. I’m looking forward to this!
Dear Steve: please start making funny movies again
I’m a Tin Cup man.
I wonder if they have golf fantasy leagues xD
I am more of a caddyshack man myself.
This sounds interesting, but happy Gilmore will always be my fav golf comedy. Lol
Steve Carell is hilarious, especially on The Office.
