What a fun movie, lots of quotable lines and great music posted on 29 Jun 2009
This movie is so much fun, from the music selections to the believable characters. Several fun things to catch in this one so you'll want to watch it more than once. You don't have to be a golf fan to appreciate 'defining the moment' or becoming more humble. I was so happy, the first time I watched, that the writer didn't take the easy out for an ending. There is more comedy than romance in this romantic comedy - a really great balance for the film. This one will be on my top ten favorites for quite some time. Cheers!

The perfect romantic comedy has been made. It has got the perfect story. Kevin Costner plays the retired golf-player Roy McAvoy.One day he meets Molly Griswold (Rene Russo).Unfortunately she is involved with Roys "friend" David Simms (Don Johnson). To make Molly believe that he is better than David he is going to win US Open. Costner,Russo and Johnson are all great.But best of them all is Cheech Marin who plays Roys caddie Romeo.Many real Golf-pros have cameos in the movie. It's got a great soundtrack.Before I watched this movie I´d hated golf but afterwards I really like it.the rating is:8.5 of 10

I think "Tin Cup" had the potential to be a much better movie. If this movie would have lasted 100 minutes instead of its 135 "Tin Cup" would have more that 6 stars.I liked the performances of Kevin Costner as Roy 'Tin Cup' McAvoy, Rene Russo as Dr. Molly Griswold, Don Johnson as David Simms and Cheech Marin as Romeo Posar.The plot of the movie is about Roy 'Tin Cup' McAvoy, a golf teacher in a very poor golf field, who once was a great college golf player. One day Roy will see again to his old enemy David Simms, and because of David and David's girlfriend, Dr. Molly Griswold, Roy will train with his caddy Romeo Posar to get in the US OPEN and win the tournament.

SPOILERS - I am a golfer, and of all the "golf" movies, "Tin Cup" and "Happy Gilmore", both very funny comedies, are my favorites. "Tin Cup" is the name given to Costner's character, a reference to the protection he wore as a catcher. But "Tin Cup" is not really a golf movie at all. The theme could have been any game of skill. But golf works well.The story is really about this talented guy who lets demons in his head short-circuit what he wants to do. He runs a barely profitable driving range in hot and dry west Texas town of Salome. He falls in love when a shrink (Renee Russo) comes for lessons, but he is afraid to act on his intentions. On a dare he tries to qualify for the US Open, and barely does so.The climax is the US Open, actually filmed at a just-completed but not yet open course in the northeast Houston community of Kingwood. I remember in 1995 when they were requesting "extras" for the filming.After a terrible 83 opening round, he shoots an Open-record 62 to make the cut. Fourth round, he is tied with Jacobson at 8-under, and needs a birdie to win, or a par for a playoff. Hole 18, par-5, 238 yards from the cup, he hits a 3-wood that lands hole-high, about 4 feet away, but rolls back into the water. Instead of taking a drop at the green, chipping and putting for a par, he just keeps dropping balls and hitting them into the water, until one goes in the cup. Gets a 7-over par 12 on the final hole, but he wins the girl. He smiles and says, "How about that last shot, wasn't it great?"In a way this story reminds me of the one in Good Will Hunting, where we want him to use his mathematics talent for something great, but he goes after the girl. Here, we want Tin Cup to discipline himself, be all that he can be, look for the victory instead of always responding only to the challenge. But that is not the point of the story. The point is, golf is only a game, the US Open is only a very high profile game. Tin Cup wants to be a success in life and love, doesn't really care about the game that seems so important, falsely important, to so many people. Good film. Don Johnson is his golfer rival, and Russo's boyfriend. Uses many real announcers and pro golfers - Venturi, Kostis, Stadler, Mickelson, Miller, Jacobsen. Only in a movie could Peter Jacobsen actually win the US Open golf tournament! :-)

This is the lowest scoring movie on the imdb that I own on dvd. In my defence I do play golf and it is a film that will appeal more to golfers.Roy McAvoy (Costner) is nicknamed tin cup and is a very good golfer who never quite embraced course management. He's ended up as a Driving Range pro and is lucky enough to meet Molly (Russo) at the range. Molly of course is dating is old adversary Simms (Johnson) who is now one of the leading players on the tour. I think given that outline most people would be able to fill in the missing bits and pretty much predict what was going to happen in the film. Having said that it's very easy on the eye and Russo looks particularly attractive in the golf gear. 8/10 - but only for golfers.

This film is simply the top of the tree, the cream of the crop, the 7 iron from Cup's Caddy. For pure all American smoozy romance, some classic lines and probably Don Johnson's best film (and Costner's). Of all the sports in the world you would rarely imagine golf to be the one that is used so rightly to put life into perspective. This is a must see, a heart warmer and a goddam classic.

Would love, love, love to see a sequel done to this movie. It's fun even if you don't know how to play golf (and I don't). The soundtrack to this movie is really good. Especially love that song, "Big Stick" and "Nobody There But Me". Do wish there wasn't the foul language, though. I think it's a 10 plus with a little draw!
-
This movie is fun. This movie is funny. It has the best of casts. The golf, even if you don't understand golf (and I don't) is great. The music is perfect for it. The ending isn't what you'd expect. This movie is a 10 plus all the way. The best part about it? Kevin Costner totally. Along with Cheech Marin, they make a great comedic team. Wish they'd team up again. Rent it and have a good time.

This movie may know something about golf, but it doesn't speak to any of the reasons I enjoy film. Rather than inhabiting the characters, the actors preen as if they are cock-sure we will like them for their looks. And while they may be good-looking, the coarse language detracts more from every scene than any amount of make-up or costume change can compensate for.I found the plot simplistic and formulaic, and for this reason alone I can not recommend the film. But if stronger reasons are needed outside boredom, be advised that this film insults with its incessant use of bad language.

I've seen this movie several times and every time it gets cuter. As soon as it starts, when the first few bars of the song begins I recognize it immediately. Keven Costner is adorable and this movie also a reason I became a great admirer of Renee Russo (who at first didn't particularly care for her, but has become one of my favorite actresses). Not exactly the most intelligent or timeless movie, but very entertaining and a joy to watch. The end gets me every time. I don't know if it's just me, but I actually get all involved and emotional. (Every time I see that scene at "the river", it reminds of how irresistibly gorgeous Kevin Costner is. Kevin you are so wonderful, manly and sexy.)

Talented but unlucky golfer, Roy McAvoy (Kevin Costner) pursues glamorous therapist, Dr Molly Griswold (Rene Russo). Even though it's a Costner movie, it's actually a decent, surprisingly well-observed romantic comedyThe American Dream is brought nicely down to earth in this gentle comedy drama. Costner plays Roy McAvoy, an underachieving golf-whizz living in a small Texan town, who falls for Molly (Russo), the girlfriend of his arch rival David Simms (Don Johnson). Luckily for him, she agrees to sleep with him after he chips a ball from the clubhouse carpet and hits a pelican sitting outside. Molly gives Roy a good soul-searching pep talk and it isn't long before he's back playing professionally - and, before you know it, swinging his sticks in the US Open. Tin Cup's big surprise is the film's unconventional ending, allowing us to forgive director Ron Shelton's clumsy, problematic dramatic structure and odd fascination with capturing Costner's highlighted mullet.The dialogue and characters are convincing and intelligently developed. Russo wears vulnerability and neediness like a second skin, while Costner plays the tragic hero with considerable charm.

Kevin Costner should stick to comedy...yeah, I know OPEN RANGE is a lyrical, beautiful Western drama, FIELD OF DREAMS is a moving fantasy, and THE UNTOUCHABLES is a first-rate, if fanciful, action yarn...but where he truly shines is when he flashes that 'naughty little boy' grin, while challenging the world to meet him on his own terms, as he does in the comedies BULL DURHAM, and, even more impressively, in TIN CUP. Because of the success of these films, some 'genius' told Costner he excelled at 'sports' flicks, which resulted in the tedious FOR LOVE OF THE GAME, but it ISN'T 'sports' that made these films work, it is C-O-M-E-D-Y! TIN CUP is a funny, touching parable about likable loser Roy 'Tin Cup' McAvoy (Costner), an 'almost great' who blew his chance at a pro golf career by refusing to 'play it safe' when qualifying for the pro tour. Years later, he's reduced to running a seedy driving range/golf school, assisted by life-long friend Romeo (the marvelous Cheech Marin). Surrounded by faithful buddies, he's content to whack drives, make bets on his skills, and drink...until beautiful shrink Dr. Molly Griswold (Rene Russo, in her finest comic work) comes for golf lessons. She challenges Roy, even as he flirts with her, and he is immediately smitten...only to discover she's 'involved' with ex-college teammate turned smarmy pro golfer David Simms (Don Johnson, who seems to be playing himself!). The opportunistic Simms offers him a caddy job, which Roy takes, needing the money...then he gets fired, by hitting an 'impossible' approach shot, on a bet, which 'shows up' Simms, in front of a national TV audience. Roy realizes that he's still good enough to win money at golf (and steal the woman he loves away from the jerk she's hooked up with), so he decides to clean up his act and qualify for the U.S. Open...The wonderful thing about TIN CUP is that you don't have to understand golf to enjoy the film. 'Tin Cup' McAvoy is such an ingratiating, if headstrong, 'everyman' that any person who has ever dreamed of achieving something 'more' with his life will certainly identify with him. Roy is not superhuman (he has more than his share of ego to deal with), but he is true to himself, unwilling to just 'play it safe' (his one attempt to conform is a total disaster). The role fits Costner perfectly, and as he proves that true victory is not determined by a scorecard, but in taking chances, he is irresistible!Kevin, if you're listening, the world NEEDS to laugh, now, more than ever...Please, no more heavy-handed tearjerkers for a while, give us another great comedy!

I rented this DVD on a whim. I'm not a golfer, but you don't need to be in order to enjoy this little film. It's obvious how things will turn out from early on, but it really doesn't matter. The cast is solid and the film is fun, even if the plot contains few surprises.
There's lots of fun one-liners, a good musical score, and a good transfer. The DVD lacks many features, but it does have both widescreen and pan-and-scan. I have to say you lose a LOT if you watch the pan-and-scan, golf courses are WIDE places.

I know that golf is a pretty popular sport in the USA, but over here it isn't at all. Here most golfers belong to the demographic group of old and fat retired business men and women wearing incredibly ugly pants... Since I'm not one of those people, I'm also not very interested in playing golf or even watching it. So why would I ever want to see a movie about it? Well "Tin Cup" is a comedy, so I hoped for the best and gave it a try...Kevin Costner plays the role of Roy 'Tin Cup' McAvoy, a failed pro golfer who lives in a trailer at a crummy driving range which he owns. One day, a beautiful woman called Dr. Molly Griswold, appears at his driving range asking for golf lessons. Of course he's immediately interested in her, but she appears to be the girlfriend of the men he hates the most: PGA superstar David Simms, who he knows for years and who always laughs with McAvoy because he was never able to make something of his life as a pro golfer. But then Dr. Griswold inspires him to start taking himself seriously again and eventually he even decides to try to qualify for the US Open...Since I'm not a golf fan and don't know much about the game or about the, probably very famous, players that got a little role in this movie, I have to watch for other interesting things. One thing for example I always focus on is the story. A movie always needs a good story, whether it is a thriller, a drama, a comedy. It doesn't matter, but the story needs to be good and if possible also original and that's where the first problems occur. This isn't original at all, but very predictable and to be honest also not very believable (a good player that has wasted his talent but than starts at the US Open golf and does a good job??? I don't think that has happened very often yet).Another thing that I always pay some attention to is the acting and I have to be honest, that wasn't too bad. Rene Russo, Don Johnson, Linda Hart, Cheech Marin, Kevin Costner... that's not exactly a top cast, but they did pretty well. However, it just isn't enough to save this entire movie, which is really too bad, because it would probably never be a world shocking movie, but it certainly has some potential. Now I give this movie only a 6.5/10.

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.
-
There's a nice soundtrack but otherwise not much to recommend. Costner is constantly obsessed with proving he can make the big shot. How can anyone sympathize or empathize with a compulsive jerk like this. If anything this movie must be about the pointlessness of golf itself.

Every time this is on TV, I stop and watch it, with absolute fascination. Do I play or even like golf? Hell, no. Do I care about any sports? Hell, no. Well, except for pro wrestling, and I barely watch that anymore as I sink into old age. What fascinates me about TIN CUP is the delirious story and the colorful characters. Costner, not one of my favorite actors normally, is simply brilliant as a down-on-his-luck golf pro and Rene Russo is absolutely striking as his newfound love interest and salvation. This is one of Russo's greatest roles, in fact. In addition, there are two terrific supporting roles, with Don Johnson as Costner's archnemesis and a real cad (which I suspect is how he is in real life) and Cheech Marin as Costner's stalwart companion and partner in tomfoolery. In fact, Costner and Marin are essentially Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, but instead of tilting at windmills they tilt at golf holes here. You definitely don't have to like golf to enjoy this movie, slick and formulaic as it may be. And seeing Johnson and Costner going nose to nose may give you the same frisson as seeing Travolta and Willis standing elbow to elbow in PULP FICTION. Two truly big names that you never expected to see together in one movie. Say what you want about both Costner and Johnson (talk about lives lived to excess), but they are both terrific in this tidy little romantic "dramedy." This not a kiddie movie. It is a movie for adults who have lived real lives and can relate to adult characters who have had their share of ups and downs and can still dream.
