Rating:  - Santini's Review
This one is for the golfer and sports enthusiast. It is fun with an interesting and new story line.
Rating:  - Not for real golfers
I bought this video for my husband - an avid golfer. This doesn't compare with the movies profiling the lives of Bobby Jones or Francis Ouimet.
Rating: - for golf fans only
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.
Rating: - Entertaining and enjoyable
With golf being as fun and popular as it is,it is great to see movies about golf being made. "Tin Cup" is a great addition to golf movies,and while it may not be "Happy Gilmore" or "Caddyshack",has a great plot and script that will keep its viewers entertained until the very end...
This movie begins with going into the life of Roy McAvoy (Kevin Costner). While Roy may be a talented golfer with a lot of good friends,there is one problem that lies within Roy. The problem? When Roy gets angry,Roy gets destructive. And,when Roy gets destructive,not only does he cause harm for himself,he causes harm for other people,at the same time--two things that have taken a negative effect on Roy's life.
But then,one day,things change. This is when Roy meets a shrink named Dr. Molly Griswold(Rene Russo),who is a nice person that is not only smart when it comes to the issue of golf,but who also ends up(unexpectdly and unplanned)winning the heart of Roy. For Roy,this seems like a great opportunity to find real and true love and to reform himself....yet here,Roy finds another problem. This problem:the fact that not only does Molly have a boyfriend,but the fact that her boyfriend is a man named David Simms(Don Johnson),another golfer who happens to be the archnemises of Roy McAvoy(for good reasons,I might add). From here,can Roy not only win the U.S. open,but be able to bring Molly over from being David's girlfriend to being his girlfriend? Only time will tell!!!
When it comes down to "Tin Cup",this film has a lot of high points going for it. Not only is the plot for this film both interesting and creative with a strong and well-paced script accompanying it,which helps bring this movie to life,the acting here is very strong as well. While Kevin Costner's performance of Roy McAvoy in this film may not be one of Costner's best performances (compared to Costner's performances in a lot of his other films,which include "JFK","Dragonfly","The Guardian",etc.),through his performance,Costner does an excellent job at bringing a lot of humor and drama into his performance as Roy McAvoy,which helps this film shape itself. Don Johnson,while he may not be one of America's finest actors,brings the personality of Sonny Crockett onscreen here (with a lot of originality,at the same time)with his perfomance of David Simms. At the same time,Rene Russo does a perfect job at allowing this movie to have chemistry:on its own,for her own character,and between Kevin Costner's performance of Roy McAvoy and Don Johnson's performance of David Simms. These elements here not only keep this film moving along in an intelligent manner,help bring the movie to life and allow this film's viewers to get to know who the characters of Roy,David,and Molly are as people. How can you go wrong there??!!!
As already mentioned by another reviewer,the ending for this film is a bit weird (while,at the same time,some of this film's script does come out too be rather odd for its plot,especially when taking look at other movies that are not only similiar to this film,but are of this film's own genre,as well). But,on top of all of that,with this film's script doing what every film script needs to do(be good and interesting,and take it's time at getting to the main points of the film)and providing a good and worthwhile script here,how can you go wrong with this film? With this film's positive elements,it becomes not only a good golf movie,but a good movie,on it's own.
Special feautures here include profiles for the main actors in this film (Kevin Costner,Rene Russo,Don Johnson,Cheech Marin,as well as director Ron Shelton),and a biography for this film (would have preferred to see a behind-the-scenes look into the making of this film,but with the biography of the film that is provided here having good information that gives one the kind of information about this film that a behind-the-scenes look would,I am not complaining).
Overall,an entertaining and enjoyable film with not only a good plot and scipt,but good acting,accompanied by a good cast of actors and a good director. Worth viewing for not only fans of golf,but all movie fans,in general.
