Owen Wilson stars in a golfing comedy about a hasbeen taking on a teen prodigy
Certificate: 15
Owen Wilson plays a washed-up golf pro who finds fresh purpose in a dry-witted ten-part comedy that's driven by heart and winds up resembling a dysfunctional family sitcom. Pryce Cahill (Wilson), which is a classic golfer's name if ever there was one, had a very public meltdown years ago and he's been aimless ever since. His marriage fell apart and he lives on the fringes of golf, making money off his past, until chance brings him into contact with teenage prodigy Santi. Could this be Pryce's route back to... something?
With a steadily widening cast of characters that includes Santi's unpredictable mother, a rebellious bartender and Pryce's acerbic friend Mitts (Marc Maron) - not to mention an old foe played by the excellent Timothy Olyphant - Stick is a comedy that starts out looking like it should have been a film, before revealing itself to be a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Wilson has been playing goofy losers on screen for decades and he's doing it here, too, but Pryce also has a tragic undercurrent and a hunger to him that gives the show an added dimension, and legs, in the process. (Ten episodes)
