Summary: Golf had never been this exciting....
Review: It's a great romantic comedy... I find golfing boring... but this movie and Happy Gilmore make it interesting, exciting... now don't think that you'll be seeing here a Happy Gilmore, the two movies are very different comedies... this is more in the line of Sleepless In Seattle, "serious"?? comedy... but well... the chemistry between Costner and Russo is there... and you'll laugh... there is even some drama...
And my rating are actually 3.5 stars

Summary: Can't any movie be poorer than that?
Review: It's true I was not expecting much from Tin Cup when I pop the DVD into my player, but honestly... I was not asking for such a rip-off. I haven't laughed a single time while watching (with agony!) this movie... Now the sad part is that Tin Cup is supposed to be a comedy (ouch!). So I wasn't wetting my pence laughing but to make things worse everything else in this film was just awful. The story was dull and slow; the acting was more than poor and did I mention it was boring as hell? At this point, I would be ready to watch all episodes of The Little House in the Prairie twice than watch that movie again. My advice to you is to stay away from Tin Cup.

Summary: PRETTY GOOD
Review: Kevin Costner is charming but a bit unconventional and temperamental in his role. He challenges a very cocky Don Johnson. A prim and proper Rene Russo is the object of both men's affection. Who knew a golf movie could be funny and entertaining? It really is.

Summary: If only Costner stuck to sports movies
Review: Kevin Costner is one of the most athletic actors in film history. Not many others could have made Crash Davis believable in Bull Durham. In this movie, Costner shows his athletic ability again, playing a round of golf with a variety of gardening tools and swtich-hitting his drives.

Costner also shows another side of his talent - his title role is a not-too-bright loser. This is a big departure from his epic heros in Waterworld and The Postman. As you might suspect, he's a better loser than he is a hero.

One other thing about the golf in this movie - while some of it is pretty out there (does ESPN really televise pro-am's from podunk towns in West Texas?), there's nothing really unstable. No PA guys doing play-by-play or generic white uniforms or anything like that. The scene on the driving range before the US Open is a classic!

The rest of the cast is solid, and Cheech Marin nearly steals the movie (as he often does). The plot does hold one big surprise (the end isn't what you think it's going to be), but is fairly predictable otherwise. The soundtrack is great, the West Texas and North Carolina scenery is great, and there's more than a few laughs.

Pick it up and enjoy!

Summary: This movie gets better the more you watch it!
Review: KEvin Costner Rules. And this movie shows why. He can play the hero, but also play the common everyday man. In this golf epic, Costner plays a former hot shot who now runs a golf range in the middle of Texas. His average dreams suddenly grow when he first sees heart throb Rene Russo. In his quest at getting her, he travels down the road of the US Open. This movie is funny, cute, inspiring, and over all, a great movie!

Summary: Costner Shoots a Birdie!
Review: Kevin Costner should stick to playing likeable average guys in films like 'Tin Cup'! Ron Shelton, who had worked with the actor earlier in one of the best baseball films ever made ('Bull Durham'), takes on the trials and tribulations of a journeyman professional golfer in this outing, and while it lacks the charm and comraderie of the earlier film, it manages to make the solitary nature of golf more human and acceptable to all the non-golfers out here.

It is not the best golf film ever made (that honor goes to the Randy Quaid comedy, 'Dead Solid Perfect'), and it does have flaws (the leisurely pacing, some overlong scenes), but there is such a warm, fuzzy feeling to the entire film that you end up rooting for Costner, both on the golf course, and in his pursuit of Rene Russo (who is wonderful!)

Cheech Marin provides welcome comedy relief, and Don Johnson's slick smarminess is a perfect counterpoint to Costner's gonzo approach to golf and life.

Costner's laid-back charm, perhaps his greatest asset as an actor, is often lost in sci-fi epics like 'Waterworld', and 'The Postman', or tearjerkers like 'Message in a Bottle'. Sports films are a far better venue for him ('Bull Durham' and 'Field of Dreams' are cases in point), and he is relaxed and confident in 'Tin Cup', making this one of his best performances.

Buy it! You won't be disappointed!

Summary: "I don't even like golf, but this movie is o.k.!
Review: Like "Caddyshack" before it, this movie is a fun take on the sport, Kevin Costner proved here he could be funny, with Cheech Marin thrown in for good measure, watching these guys interact is always fun, In this Costner is Roy McAvoy, an everyday man with character flaws that somtimes reminds us of our own, he is a washed-up driving range pro, who at one time had the ability to be the Tiger Woods of his generation,but let his ego ruin it every time, Don Johnson is good here as Costner's advesary who echoes what Costner's Roy could have been, Johnson is now a big time player & very arrogant at that, Renee Russo stars as Johnson's girlfriend who Costner developes a fixation on & decides to win her over by entering the U.S Open which in turn will pit him against Johnson, Costner's charm really comes out as if he is a lovesick puppy & Russo's demeanor only heightens it, as Cheech reminds him that it is about focus, not ego, Cheech is very good here & puts his past as half of Cheech & Chong behind him, as he is the one guy that has to make sure Costner doesn't screw up again, Russo is very convincing as the love interest of both Costner & Johnson & eventually makes the right choice, the last 15 or 20 minutes are like watching golf on a sunday afternoon, but overall a good movie about facing one's fear & ego, like "Caddyshack" it is full of one-liners as Cheech is the voice of reason & Costner the flawed everyday man within us all.

Summary: Falls in the Good Category
Review: Most actors make 3 kinds of movies: bad, mediocre and good. Kevin Costner makes only 2 kinds: extraordinarily bad and good. Tin cup falls in the good category; it's the best he's made since Field of Dreams. We can give the credit to Ron Shelton who co-wrote and directed with lively results.

I give so much credit to Shelton that I wish he'd recorded a commentary track; it'd be interesting to hear how he kept actor Costner while keeping director Costner from tinkering.

Regardless of how it got done, what we have is a well scripted, well photographed, interesting movie with an excellent cast. Extra kudos to Don Johnson for his low-key villian; there was no need for a supervillian in a movie about golf so Don just played it smirky.

The DVD is a standard catalog title: good clean video and no real extras.

Rating:
Summary: nearly as good as "Bull Durham"
Review: not just a sports movie - a Quixotic romance on a grand scale; witty and romantic, it says a lot of funny things about boys and our games; golf scenes are suspenseful, majestic, lyrical; entire cast (including a dozen or so PGA pros) is perfect; the best of Ron Shelton's movies all rolled into one.
