Editorial Review:
An unreachable shot to the green. A hopeless romance. Driving-range pro Roy McAvoy can't resist an impossible challenge. Each is what he calls a defining moment. You define it. Or it defines you. With lady-killer charm and a game that can make par with garden tools, Kevin Costner rejoins Bull Durham filmmaker Ron Shelton for another funny tale of the games people play. For Costner's Roy, golf is a head-and heart-game. On both counts, that's where shrink Molly Griswold (Rene Russo) comes in. She's big city, Roy's small time, and he believes only the grandest of gestures can lure her away from a slick touring pro (Don Johnson) and earn her love. So Roy and his dutiful caddy (Cheech Marin) set out to do the impossible: win the U.S. Open. With laughs, clever battle-of-the-sexes banter and a handy way with a 7-iron, Tin Cup winningly defines the moment and contemporary romantic comedy
Description of Tin Cup:
One of the better romantic comedies of the 1990s, this quirky love story stars Kevin Costner as washed-up golf pro Roy "Tin Cup" McAvoy, who has the singular misfortune of falling in love with the girlfriend (Rene Russo) of his arch rival (Don Johnson). 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. Reunited with his Bull Durham writer-director Ron Shelton, Costner fits into his role like a favorite pair of shoes, and costar Cheech Marin scores a memorable scene-stealing comeback as McAvoy's best buddy, Romeo Posar. Mixing his love of sports with his flair for fresh, comedic dialogue, Shelton takes this enjoyable movie down unexpected detours (although some may find it a bit too long), and his characters are delightfully unpredictable. --Jeff Shannon

Best golf movie ever made (and yes there's romance too)
2008-03-16 - Why is it good for the guys? Hits all the high and low notes about why golf is so addicting and so crazy making, and a bit about how to make the ladies happy too (tango never hurts)
Why is it good for the gals? Face it, those athletes are attractive, but this one is actually a real human being, but I won't give away the best part
Why is it good for laughs? Hmmm, can we all say Cheech together? PS - He does a helluva tango)
Why is it a great movie? 1. Plot 2. Tension 3. Casting (have I mentioned Kevin Costner? Have I mentioned Rene Russo? Have I mentioned Cheech Marin? Have I mentioned the rest of the wackos? And yes, Don Johnson is in it too, playing the sleeze y'all know he is) 4. Photography - If y'all ever wanted to know what west TX looks like, here it is, complete with armadillo 5. The Waffle House 6. It's a spa!! (Insert wading pool here)6. You can actually learn something about golf in this movie, if you want to 7. Kevin Costner (again - but hey - he's worth mentioning twice)
Rent this, buy it, but whatever you do, don't miss it.
