| Rating |  | | Date | May 26, 2005 | | Summary | Tin Spitoon | Content
 | Writer-director Ron Shelton's mediocre comedy about golf pro Roy "Tin Cup" McAvoy (Costner) losing his swing and needing it to be rekindled by the lover of his chief rival (Rene Russo and Don Johnson.)
A mediocre screenplay with cheap comedic quips that allude to nothing except the impotence of the male characters and the incompetence of whoever wrote this frivolous screenplay. The story being generic and utterly predictable is the only comedy in this film. The best part of the film is probably Cheech Marin palying McAvoy's friend/caddie, Romeo Posar. Unless you like brainless humor marked by stupid one-liners uttered by jock characters, stay away from this film. |

| There's some good stuff in "Tin Cup". I thought Cheech was good in an understated performance. Renee Russo was good-looking. And Costner was -- well, he was Costner, which means he was okay but sort of, I don't know, sort of dull or bland or something. I've never figured out why he became such a star.
The movie had some amusing moments and was reasonably entertaining, but it seems to me there were a lot of golf in-jokes. I got them because I'm a golfer. I don't know about non-golfing viewers.
Finally, I am frankly baffled by people's reaction to the big scene on the 72nd hole. Lots of people, including golfers, have told me they love that scene. I just don't get it. Holing out for a 12 because you're a bone-head who refuses to lay up and win the U.S. Open is not cute or eccentric. It's just dumb. And if it happened in real life, the crowd would not cheer wildly. |

| It's true I was not expecting much from Tin Cup when I pop the DVD into my player, but honestly... I was not asking for such a rip-off. I haven't laughed a single time while watching (with agony!) this movie... Now the sad part is that Tin Cup is supposed to be a comedy (ouch!). So I wasn't wetting my pence laughing but to make things worse everything else in this film was just awful. The story was dull and slow; the acting was more than poor and did I mention it was boring as hell? At this point, I would be ready to watch all episodes of The Little House in the Prairie twice than watch that movie again. My advice to you is to stay away from Tin Cup. |

| Golf is a slow moving sport and Tin Cup was one slow moving movie. Somehow Kevin Costner's character(Roy McAoy) just seemed to annoy me. The club breaking scene was oh so troublesome. And why in the world does Renee Russo's character fall for this guy? The ending was surely odd. I guess Costner's character was loaded with determination. A minor plus I guess.
Another highlight was when Roy MacAvoy chipped a shot out of the bar accross a runaway and forced a Pelican to leave its perch. Cheap amusement but certainly amusing.
However, this movie is a little too low energy for me. Seek out Bull Durham or Field of Dreams instead.
