It is also about the struggle toward redemption, and the path shown in the film is a surrender to God, letting Him take charge and letting go all of the angst that burdens our failures, whether it's a missed golf shoot or even alcoholism.
In the movie, the main character needed to renew his convictions in order to fulfill his purpose, which in his case was excellence at golf.

It is about golf, and the idea that the game is an individual game, one player vs. After a disastrous debut on the pro circuit, a young golfer finds himself unexpectedly stranded in Utopia, Texas and welcomed by an eccentric rancher. I took away the idea that our frenzied lives are not always good for us, and especially if they deprive us of the time or the mood to reflect on and renew our purpose and our convictions.

I am always hesitant to reveal too much plot, but suffice to say the movie touches on many subjects, one of which is small town life. Even for those who are put off by Christian movies, I can recommend that they see it and try to think about the values espoused without dwelling on the source of those values. It is not heavy handed in what little preaching it does, which I know puts some people off. I recommend the movie because it is a pleasurable way to spend a little time. The kids liked it too – it was easy to follow, easy to understand, and had plenty of fun parts. My wife enjoyed it most of all because it was clean, meaning it had no profanity, and the romantic leads were not rolling in bed ten minutes into the movie. I watched the movie with my wife, who knows nothing about golf, and my two children, ten and seven. The movie's general message that winning is never more important than what's in your heart is a wonderful lesson for all budding athletes, but the delivery is too heavy-handed.Seven Days in Utopia tells the story of a man's failure and then his struggle, and it's a familiar storyline, as old as the heroes of Greek mythology. Painting and fly-fishing are one thing, but flying a plane? No.
Miyagi-ish mentor is quite amusing, although possibly unintentionally so - as in the scene when Johnny ludicrously allows Luke to take the controls of a small airplane as it begins to plummet through the air. On the bright side, the cinematography is lovely (lush greens and blues), Black never looks awkward swinging a golf club, and the soundtrack features a memorable selection of contemporary Christian tunes. Not to mention that golf isn't the most exciting sport to begin with, so there's a generally soporific tone to the entire endeavor. It's the movie's Cars-meets- Karate Kid-via-Sunday School plot that drags it down.

It's not the actors - the cast boasts two Academy Award winners (Duvall and Melissa Leo), plus Black, Hurt Locker vet Brian Geraghty, True Bloodvamp Deborah Ann Woll, and Emmy winner Kathy Baker. But there's a line between inspiring and evangelizing, between moving and cheesy, and this golf drama crosses completely over into eye-rolling territory. There's nothing wrong with an inspiring sports movie some of the best in the genre - Hoosiers, Remember the Titans, Miracle - are classics that families will be watching together for generations. The acting is so good here, it's a shame the message misses its mark. Seven Days in Utopia is a movie released in 2011 that stars Robert Duvall and Lucas Black and is based on a book by golf mental coach and teambuilding speaker David Cook.
