Breezy and predictable, Tin Cup is a likeable sports comedy that benefits greatly from Kevin Costner's amiable lead performance.

The good news about the amiable but only partly satisfying Tin Cup is that it frees Kevin Costner from playing a monument and restores to us the loose, sparkling comic actor he used to be. Feb 26, 2018 | Full Review…

As he always does in comedy, Costner grants an irresistible gleam of gallantry to male mulishness. Aug 5, 2008 | Full Review…

The 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. Aug 5, 2008 | Rating: A- | Full Review…

Amiable 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. Aug 5, 2008

Costner hasn't been this charming and spontaneous for years. Jun 24, 2006 | Full Review…
Costner hasn't been this charming and spontaneous for years.
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. Aug 5, 2008 | Full Review…

What makes Tin Cup such an unabashed pleasure is Shelton's care in writing and developing interesting characters. Oct 8, 2005 | Rating: 4/5

All the golf action and happy "feel-good" emotions that audiences expect (and want) but... without following the traditional sports movie conventions. Dec 10, 2004 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

With a backdrop of light country music tunes and open dusty reaches Costner plays a cheery good ol'boy taking a shot at the big time. Can he make it? And what about the woman of his long time nemesis: will she see through to appreciate his latent awshucks charm? Predictable, yes, but not boringly, the antics of this Rocky of the fairways.
Super Reviewer
One of the better golf films ever, and Costner's third best sports film.
Just a usual sports movie about sports, in this movie told about golf, nothing special in it. Kevin Costner and Rene Russo just gave a light performance because it just a movie for entertaining, they don't need too good performances here, they just need the money... The story really standard using the formula from zero to hero, yet I watched the cut version of this movie so I didn't impress a lot, besides the fact that I'm not love golf sports... Just a movie for killing time...
Good cast. Rom com with a bit of golf thrown in.
