Mark Rylance may just be one of the most watchable actors working on screen. The Phantom of the Open is one of those charming, based on real events, slice of life movies that tells an inspiring story but doesn't excel as a film. The story is just told as one event then the next with little art. But Rylance, supported by the rest of the strong cast (especially Sally Hawkins who also rises above the material), just makes it all so watchable. There isn't much here in this light and fluffy tale but it will certainly put a smile on your face.
