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.

Reviews for Tin Cup
Top CriticAs he always does in comedy, Costner grants an irresistible gleam of gallantry to male mulishness.

Top CriticTin Cup works for viewers of any handicap.
08/05/08
Top CriticYou can almost feel writer-director Ron Shelton praying for lightning to strike twice, but to no avail.
08/05/08
Top CriticThe climactic game, in which Roy, in a way that defies prediction, attempts to sink the shot of his life, is the most rousing sequence of the year, a celebration of what it really means to win.

Top CriticAmiable and constantly amusing rather than uproarious, this mangy tale of a ne'er-do-well's fitful assault on personal and professional respectability benefits greatly from Kevin Costner's ingratiatingly comic star turn.

Lose about 30 minutes and there may be a stronger film in there.
04/09/05
All the golf action and happy "feel-good" emotions that audiences expect (and want) but... without following the traditional sports movie conventions.
12/10/04
Like other Shelton movies, it's dappled with interesting characters.
