Reviews
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Matt Greene I was more than a bit surprised at how much I enjoyed this light and fun sports-rom-com. I wish the actual sports dramatics were better, which just inexplicable following the whims of the screenwriter instead of the characters reality, but there's still much to like. The dialogue is great, even with the constant golf puns and metaphors, which are delivered with such intention and self-awareness. Costner is in top form; cocky, likable, and disruptive.
Harriet Deltubbo I was deeply impressed. It's the best golf film yet, but there is more to it than just golf. It's definitely not the thing to see if you're in the mood for something fun and uplifting, or something with tons of thrills and action. The metaphors in this movie are abundant. Are there annoying things in this movie? Yes, like the overdone dialog. But the movie has enough to keep you entertained. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. This is the kind of film that tries to prove that a small story can be much more meaningful than a larger one. Overall rating: 7/10.
Desertman84 Tin Cup is a romantic comedy that is co-written and directed by Ron Shelton. It stars Kevin Costner and Rene Russo together with Cheech Marin and Don Johnson in major supporting roles.This quirky love story is about a washed-up golf pro Roy "Tin Cup" McAvoy, who has the singular misfortune of falling in love with the girlfriend of his arch rival. Although he is inspired to re-ignite his golf career, challenge his opponent in the U.S. Open, and win the affection of the woman of his dreams, McAvoy has just one flaw: he's a show off when he should just focus on playing the game. Amiable and constantly amusing rather than uproarious, this mangy tale of a never-do-well's fitful assault on personal and professional respectability benefits greatly from Kevin Costner's ingratiatingly comic star turn.Overall,it accomplishes the impossible, maybe the unimaginable which is it makes golf entertaining.
KenH During the US Open this year they accosted Gary McCord as being the story for the movie. He actually took an 18 in a PGA event trying to get over the water. He admitted to it!! He said he just knew he could get it over the water.He had no excuses.This is tough with the rules of ten lines. I actually liked the movie. Odd as I think Costner is over rated. He plays the same part in every movie. I only like Tin Cup and Water world. He has no stretch in his acting. Same character in every movie with different things happening. He has no range in his acting ability. Hopefully this is ten lines......
