Following a meltdown that leads to a suspension, professional golfer Zoe Papadopoulos travels to her grandparents' village in Greece to escape the harsh spotlight of the international sports world. Between baking bread and eating baklava, she meets and mentors a ten-year-old girl who is determined - against all odds - to become the next golf sensation. Along the way, Zoe rediscovers her Greek heritage, her love of the game, and the hidden strength within herself as she inspires the townspeople in an epic showdown against a greedy American developer.

Reviews

timmurphy-2 The story is formulaic, but the characters and surroundings makes this a warm, family friendly movie. Themes of redemption, family, loyalty, mentorship and faith are all woven into the story. Standouts include the main lead characters, especially the Greek Orthodox priest. Shannon Elizabeth is a very effective lead and carries the movie, and John O' Hurley chews up the scenery as an over the top megalomaniac villain. The scenes are gorgeous. Makes one want to take a golfing vacation to Greece!

Davey-G Not so uplifting because the plot is utterly predictable and tired. As far as zero-to-hero films go, this is one of the weakest that i've had to endure. The acting is as wooden as a golf club. The setting of this movie is quaint which is the reason why its a max. of 2 starts. Don't waste your time with this.

nina-antonakes I've seen this movie twice now and loved it both times! I had a smile on my face from start to finish. It's a charming film that you can bring the entire family to and you don't need to be Greek, or a golfer, to enjoy it. However, if you are Greek or a philhellene, you'll particularly enjoy the gorgeous Greek scenery and the authentic representation of Greek people. And, this is the first time I've seen a fusion of the Greek Orthodox Church and Nikos Kazantzakis philosophy working together in harmony to support the themes of the movie. Well done!!!!!!

mcelrathkj If you enjoy stories about underdogs who overcome evil villains in the face of insurmountable odds, you will definitely enjoy Swing Away. As added bonuses, golf aficionados get a glimpse into the world of the LPGA, and travel buffs get a taste of Greek village life in the 21st Century as local residents find themselves fighting for their way of life against a greedy, heartless real estate magnate. Add into the mix a bit of intrigue on the part of two clever lawyers and an unlikely champion, and you have a fun film for the whole family.Highly recommended.
