Costner hasn't been this charming and spontaneous for years.
06/24/06
You can almost feel writer-director Ron Shelton praying for lightning to strike twice, but to no avail.
08/05/08
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.

Unfortunately, much of the movie's plot hinges on our belief that Costner is hopelessly, head-over-heels in love with Russo -- and they just don't have any chemistry together.

What makes Tin Cup such an unabashed pleasure is Shelton's care in writing and developing interesting characters.

While the new movie is generally pleasant, it's also creaky: you know exactly where it's going and it takes too long to get there.

Tin Cup works for viewers of any handicap.

One of the best films of 1996 with its message that in love and in sports, playing it safe can't hold a candle to taking risks and acting from the heart.
02/22/02
You're about to get bonked on the head with a has-been story, mediocre acting, and some squirmingly painful dialogue.

As sports movies go (regardless of the sport), this one turns in a respectable showing, injecting some intelligence and maturity into a story that easily could have succumbed to a flood of 'struggling underdog' cliches.

Top CriticKevin Costner's golfing romance has OK swing but bad form.
11/07/02
This film's overriding message is as pleasing as its flippant, skillful banter.
