An over-the-hill ex-golfer, fired from his job, sees hope in coaching a troubled teen prodigy after his wife leaves him, staking his future on the youth's success.

Snowy Ball says: "Stick" offers a film experience that hovers in the realm of mediocrity, delivering an overall package that is just okay. The plot unfolds with a familiar rhythm, lacking the twists and turns that could elevate it beyond its straightforward narrative. Characters are introduced with potential, but they often feel like archetypes rather than fully realized individuals, leaving audiences wanting more depth and nuance. The acting is serviceable; while the cast performs their roles competently, there are few standout moments that linger in memory. Each performance feels constrained by the script, which doesn’t allow for much emotional range or character development. As a result, viewers may find it hard to connect with the characters on a deeper level. Despite its shortcomings in storytelling and characterization, "Stick" manages to entertain without demanding too much from its audience. The pacing is steady enough to keep one engaged, though it lacks the spark that would make it truly captivating. It’s a film you can watch without regret but also one you might forget shortly after viewing. In summary, "Stick" serves as an average diversion for a couple of hours—neither groundbreaking nor terrible. It sits comfortably in the "just okay" category of films, making it suitable for those seeking light entertainment without high expectations. Ultimately, it's a reminder that sometimes films can simply exist without leaving a lasting impression.
