Rating: Summary: Enjoyable Review: "Tin Cup" is a light-hearted story of a talented, but quirky golf pro, Roy McAvoy (Kevin Costner as more of a "never-quite-been" than a "has-been") that owns a run-down driving range in the middle Texas desert country. There is, of course, the obligatory assortment of odd-ball characters that are employed at the driving range, but this actually works to the movie's benefit. Cheech Marin plays Costner's long-time friend and caddy, and his performance is a major highlight of this movie. Don Johnson is superb as the cool, calculating touring pro with an engaging smile and a heart of steel. Rene Russo is also on hand as a rather flakey pyschologist, who just happens to be Johnson's girlfriend.While I can't put this film in the big belly-laugh catagory, it is cute, warm-hearted, and has several rather funny scenes. Although I wondered why it took 2 hours and 15 minutes to tell such a simple story, I really only found it boring when the movie strayed unnecessarily to McAvoy's problems with his ex-wife (an exotic dancer, no less). Those minor problems aside, I enjoyed the fact that the ending differed slightly from the standard run-of-the-mill "old pro makes good" scenerio. I also enjoyed the appearances of the real golf pros and announcers (some of the movies best moments are on the golf course and with the banter of the announcers and tv producers behind the scenes). While I doubt "Tin Cup" will be considered a classic, I enjoyed it for what it was--a light-hearted romantic comedy with a feel-good ending. Between 1 and 10, "Tin Cup" gets a marginal 7.

Rating: Summary: Tin Cup Review: Being a Kevin Costner fan, that was the first reason I saw this movie. But even with it's corny storyline it was an enjoyable story. Even tho Costner didn't play his usual sex symbol role, he was sexy as ever playing a wash out that was just trying to impress the girl of his dreams, and deal with his fierce competitive nature. This is a movie alot like "Happy Gilmore" you have to see it at least twice to really catch the greatness of the movie. Worth watching and adding to your movie collection. The music in this movie also was great.
Rating: Summary: This is a great comedy! Review: Come on people, this is a comedy. Comedies in general, are far-fetched and ludicrous, and this fits both. This movie is great, Costner finally made a film that people actually will watch. He is great, but Cheech and Renee are equally as good, if not better. It was refreshing to see a Costner movie that was not 3 hours long, and was enjoyable to watch (unlike Waterworld, The Postman, etc.). People read too much into comedies these days, last time I checked, comedies were supposed to be funny (maybe I am wrong, but...), and this movie was funny!
Rating: Summary: A different game of golf! Review: Costner does a great job in the movie, as a golfer who doesn't lack talent or love for the game. The movie displayes golf in a way not seen before. The golf-slang in this movie will please every golfer around the world. "Tee it up!" says Costner as "Tin Cup" just before making love to his girlfriend for the second time in a row! Just an example of the lightheaded humor that maybe only golfers really understand. If you play golf you will love this movie....
Rating: Summary: Get me out of here!!! Review: Firstly, I hate golf and find it utterly boring. Boring is also a word that can be applied to Kevin Costner who, as far as I am concerned, hasn't done ANYTHING of value since "Dances with wolfes". Rene Russo is a good actress, stuck here with absolutely nothing to do. And if this is a romantic comedy, where is the comedy? Please, don't expose me to this movie again!!!!
Rating: Summary: GOLFERS- Watch it after a bad game and fell better Review: Funny and light hearted. For the serious and the more laid back golfers alike.
