Tin Cup

Kevin Costner and Rene Russo are their best. A great Golf movie.

“ Tin Cup" is a hole-in-one comedy that hits all the right notes. Kevin Costner shines as the charming yet flawed Roy "Tin Cup" McAvoy, a down-on-his-luck golf pro with a knack for mischief and a heart of gold. With a colorful cast of characters and witty dialogue, the film keeps you entertained from the first tee to the final putt.But "Tin Cup" isn't just about golf – it's a love story, a redemption tale, and a lesson in perseverance all rolled into one. As Roy's quest for glory unfolds, we're treated to hilarious hijinks, heartfelt moments, and plenty of unexpected twists and turns along the way.What sets "Tin Cup" apart is its authenticity and charm. From the dusty driving ranges of West Texas to the lush greens of the U.S. Open, the film captures the spirit of the game and the indomitable human spirit with equal grace.So grab your clubs, settle into your favorite armchair, and prepare to be swept away by the magic of "Tin Cup." Whether you're a golf aficionado or just in the mood for a feel-good comedy, this film is sure to leave you smiling – and maybe even inspired to hit the links yourself.

I came late to this movie, watching it for the first time just a month ago. However, I've played golf for 52 years, starting with my Dad when I was 7, and I see the character of Roy McAvoy as an everyman figure for everyone who's ever played and game and wanted to make "the shot."HBecause that's Roy's great tragic failing: he knows he can make The Shot, and he refuses to back down from attempting it. His best friend and lifelong caddy Romeo Posar (Cheech Marin), puts it to him bluntly and frequently: "Par can win." Roy, however, sees every lie as a personal affront and something to be attacked and defeated. This attitude cost him a pro career as a young college-age prodigy, while his best friend/rival David Simms (Don Johnson) was willing to settle for par and not attempt The Shot, and now has a decent career on the pro circuit.The film starts with Roy giving a golf lesson to therapist Dr. Molly Giswold (Renee Russo) at his run-down driving range. His beer-drinking buddies at the range judge her harshly: "Such a pretty girl, and such an ugly swing." Roy offers her a philosophic view of golf, similar to his soliloquy on baseball in "Bull Durham," but in the end he advises her to to just "Grip it and rip it."Roy immediately grasps that she's taking lessons because of her boyfriend, and discovers that the boyfriend is his old college friend David Simms when David shows up at Roy's range and offers Roy what he thinks is an opportunity to play in David's local Pro-Am tournament. Roy at first is excited to get back into golf at this level, but then is outraged to find out that David wants him as his caddy. "I can't take some guy off the street for this tournament," David says, emphasizing that he's trying to build a legacy and wants only recognized golfers to participate.Roy refuses at first, but Romeo convinces his to take the job because David offers $100 plus 5% of any winnings. But once again, Roy's stubbornness causes his downfall when David refuses The Shot in his tournament to play it safe, and a contemptuous Roy makes a bet that he can make the shot with his 7-iron. (Roy's 7-iron figures very large in this film.) David tells Roy that if he tries the shot he'll fire him, but Roy does it anyway -- successfully -- and David fires him on the spot and refuses to pay him anything.Molly continues to come to Roy for lessons, however, and Roy realizes that he's fallen for her. A funny scene where he goes to her for therapy and confesses his love for her TO her, and her subsequent confusion about how to deal with it, leads to him offering to try to enter the U.S. Open (a major tournament open to anyone with a handicap 3 or above who can qualify at a local tournament) to prove his seriousness.Golf hijinks ensue. As "Caddyshack" was to golf over-the-top-comedy, "Tin Cup" is to golf could-really-happen comedy. Don Johnson is excellent as Kevin Costner's former friend and now rival, disdaining Costner's failings while recognizing his true talent. You never get a feeling of dislike between the pair; more a feeling of you-could-have-been-great-now-look-at-you from Johnson and I'll-prove-you-wrong-yet from Costner.There's lots of cameos from real golf pros, and a side story involving Cheech and the owner of a "gentleman's club" who owns the title to Roy's driving range, and enough real golf going on to keep everything moving along. I highly recommend this for an evening's entertainment.

I like it

"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.
