Luke Chisholm (Lucas Black) is a young golfer who's about to take a swing at the big time. Luke, however, has a big blow-up that makes national news, drives away his father/coach, and seemingly scuttles his once-promising career. While driving along a Texas back road, Luke crashes through the fence of eccentric rancher Johnny Crawford (Robert Duvall). Johnny makes Luke an irresistible offer: spend a week with him in the tiny town of Utopia and see if Luke can change his life.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Seven Days in Utopia finds a noteworthy cast struggling to engage with lackadaisical drama, overwrought themes, and a predictably staged narrative.

Lucas Black is terrific as the young golfer, while Duvall reminds everyone that he remains one of the best actors working today. Go to Full Review

This is a bland, uninspiring, uninteresting story that hammers its message so blatantly and so often that it's surprising you can come out of it without a headache. Go to Full Review
