Why isn't this title on DVD? Best golf movie ever, April 23, 2003
This review is from: Dead Solid Perfect [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Move over Dorf and forget all about TIN CUP. DEAD SOLID PERFECT is the best golf movie ever made. It's on the same level as CADDYSHACK, only more mature, so as not to scare away the conservative duffers. Randy Quaid and Jack Warden are wonderful and Corinne Bohrer is the cutest thing to ever grace the links this side of Annika Sorenstam.
It's criminal that DEAD SOLID PERFECT has not yet made an appearance on DVD. It's funny, it's got nice production values, great acting, drama, and Corinne Bohrer.

Funny, but weak., February 4, 2000
This review is from: Dead Solid Perfect [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Although not his biggest commercial success, `Dead Solid Perfect' may be the funniest book written by one of this country's great talents, Dan Jenkins.
In the text, there is a combination of comedic genius, and a true love for the subject matter, the game of golf. Add 50 some years of experience reporting on the game, and Mr. Jenkins has just about every aspect of this story nailed, cold.
I know many who think one of his earlier books, Semi-Tough to be an exemplary piece of writing, I agree, but the film it produced turned out luke-warm as best.
This film is better, although it can not be described with the superlatives of Jenkins original. Sometimes it's just impossible to capture the essence of such multi-layered characters on film in 2 hours or less.
Not to knock Bobby Roth, or the two principals, Randy Quaid, and Jack Warden who both did good turns: Quaid as Kenny Lee, the talented but struggling tour golfer and Warden as "Bad-Hair' Wimberly, the cash-rich sponsor. For golf fans it's a good movie and certainly more honest and original than Tin Cup. For the rest I'd say only fair.
