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
Tin Cup Reviews:
Golf Pro/Love Amateur 
2009-10-13 - The subtitle of this movie says it all. Roy is adept and relaxed at golf, but love he's the opposite. The turnaround in both occur (well somewhat the love more than golf, for the risk taker in him persists) with a local psychologist taking lessons in golf, while she gives him lessons in love and mental skills.
The acting by lead characters is good, esp. Cheech. There is too much f** words and other language in this for this reviewer, and I know before it's said it's only my opinion and it is.
The soundtrack is superb, which I bought and play often since watching this on big screen first. Interesting plot and well done cinematography.
Not my favorite golf flick, but not in bottom third either. Somewhere in middle.
Tin Cup 
2009-07-18 - I wasn't to thrilled with this movie I'm a Christian and all the cussing and sexual inuendo ruined it for me.
Great movie no thought needed plot telegraphed from start 
2009-06-22 - What can I say, Keven Costner a likeable guy who is a failure falls for some Shrink and gives up his bad habits. Golf story but still a funny love story.
Tin Cup
2009-04-10 - I never got to watch the dvd. When I received the dvd it was scratched and I was unable to watch the movie.
Good but a little slow
2009-01-06 - The product was exactly like what I ordered. My only small complaint is that it took a long time for me to get (over 2 weeks, close to 3).
