Following her suspension from the LPGA tour due to a meltdown, Greek-American golf pro, Zoe, retreats to her family home in Greece with the hopes of escaping the unwanted public and media scrutiny. While in Greece, Zoe stumbles across Stella, a 10 year old golf prodigy who brings her back down to earth and inspires her to lift her game. Zoe soon encounters Marcos, a widower and English teacher who also happens to be Stella's father. As the pair grow closer, it becomes apparent that while a good man, Marcos' past has lead him to be sceptical of dreams. So, when it comes to his daughter's golfing aspirations, he fears that they will be crushed by the harsh realities of Greek life.
Critic Reviews:
- " Swing Away is a cute film with lots of charm, it has good examples for lead characters and a fairly typical bad guy who feels a bit like a cartoon. " – Emilie Black (Cinema Crazed)
- " A charming tale of community interaction, Greek soulfulness without the “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” amplification, and golf. " – Brian Orndorf (Blu-ray.com)
- " Predictable but sweet family-friendly golf comedy. " – Sandie Angulo Chen (Common Sense Media)
