Summary: America's most boring game is now a movie
Review: Ok, I admit I'm pretty biased against golf. If you like golf and are looking for a "date movie" I guess this'd be right up your alley. Aside from that commentary, I wasn't overly impressed with this movie. No real qualms about the acting. Kevin Costner is not as bad as the critics like to say. Rene Rouso was plenty believable in her role. It just seemed kind of predictable and slow to me.

Summary: Tin Cup, Two Movies in One!
Review: The first movie about this loveable doofus of a golf pro named Roy McAvoy (Kevin Costner) who is burnt out and running a driving range in Nowheresville. Roy is just enough of an anti-hero to make you uncomfortable rooting for him, but when a stunning Rene Russo shows up for lessons while dating a PGA pro (a perfectly cast Don Johnson), you start to pull for our hero who lives in a trailer and, apparently, does not own a hair brush.When the "Is he going to get the girl?" question is answered, we suddenly leave the armpit of a driving range and find ourselves at the green, lush US Open, an event Roy has qualified for to show Russo he's got what it takes. Thus begins our second movie, a golf movie... lots of golf swings, lots of grass, fairly entertaining if you know what a shank is. Even if you don't, the question of whether will ruin his shot at the Open like he's ruined the rest of his life is still outstanding and, I believe, answered in an unconventional and entertaining manner. I'm choosey about the DVDs I purchase because I'm fairly certain that in five years another more groovy video format will show up and I don't want to end up with 500+ CDs like I did in the 90s. I bought _Tin Cup_ because it's semi-non-Hollywood love story and, oh, there's golf.

Summary: Okay, not great.
Review: There's some good stuff in "Tin Cup". I thought Cheech was good in an understated performance. Renee Russo was good-looking. And Costner was -- well, he was Costner, which means he was okay but sort of, I don't know, sort of dull or bland or something. I've never figured out why he became such a star.
The movie had some amusing moments and was reasonably entertaining, but it seems to me there were a lot of golf in-jokes. I got them because I'm a golfer. I don't know about non-golfing viewers.
Finally, I am frankly baffled by people's reaction to the big scene on the 72nd hole. Lots of people, including golfers, have told me they love that scene. I just don't get it. Holing out for a 12 because you're a bone-head who refuses to lay up and win the U.S. Open is not cute or eccentric. It's just dumb. And if it happened in real life, the crowd would not cheer wildly.

Summary: Shooting Blanks
Review: This movie promised to be "one of the best comedies of the nineties"...is that the 1890's? There was not one funny moment in this hastily put together inside look at golf, and the audience is supposed to fall in love with Costner's role long after he has put us to sleep. Sorry...just a ripoff of the much better golf classic "Dead Solid Perfect" with Randy Quaid, and a feeble attempt at humor which ended up in stupidity and boredom.

Summary: A great comedy!!!
Review: This was a great flick! It brought Costner out of the duldrums for a brief moment! Thank god he did not direct or write this one!!! This story was not only hilarious, but so far-fetched, that you had to love it. Costner is great as a "bum" and Cheech is great too! Sure, the idea of him contending for the US Open is absurd, but so is life! This was a great comedy.

Summary: A Good Movie!
Review: This was a very good sports movie. Kevin Costner plays the role of a golfer who runs a beat up driving range. He is awe srtuck with Rene Russo who is the girl friend of Don Johnson his chief rival. Costner is inspired to participate in the U.S. Open. This tournament is very competitive as well as entertaining. The world of golf is very well shown through this movie. A has been(Costner competing against the shooting star(Johnson). Cheech Marin also adds to the movie. This is a movie that any fan of golf would enjoy. See this movie. You will definitely enjoy it.

Summary: I just LOVE this movie
Review: Tin Cup is just FUN!! It does not have a deep message. It has no deep conflicting character analyses. No big lessons of life in transition here. It's just plain old entertainent. Russo is her flakey,sweet,adorable self. Costner is a natural for this down-and-out fellow drinking beer and betting on which bug will be zapped next. His friends are just plain ole Texas boys. Cheech Marin ,as Romeo Posnar, is a scene stealer. Great role and nice to see him again. Some silly dialogue. The "Pancake House" scene is hysterical. Some nice, mature friendship develoment between Marin, Hart (who ROCKS!!) as Doreen, all in relation to Costner's "Tin Cup" character. Just fun! Don't miss the armadillos- nice touch in the opening scene. Shawn Colvin's "Back To Salome" (last song in closing credits) is hantingly beautiful as well as quirky- kind of like Russo and Costner.
