Why are Kevin Costner films so hit or miss (no pun attended)? It’s a toss up to whether he’s going to show up as a good actor or not, and thankfully he does in this one. He plays a West Texas, golf driving-range owner who always lets his male ego get in the way of actually being successful in life. As in most of these sport/romantic comedies, a girl (Rene Russo) and a long-time rival (a very solid Don Johnson) show up to spur him to win the U.S. Open to prove to everybody he has the talent to back up his mouth.
Tin Cup is just a sold film that is perfect for both guys and girls to enjoy together. The chemistry between Costner and Russo is more than enough to have the gals watching, but there is plenty of golf and buddy humor (Cheech Marin is a lot of fun) for the guys. I was into the story the whole time and enjoyed it from start to finish. Nothing really stands out that makes it bad and I wouldn’t ever put it on the “Best Comedies” list, but if somebody was having trouble figuring out what to rent for a Friday evening or Saturday afternoon, I would recommend this in a heartbeat… especially for date nights. I give Tin Cup 3 out of 5 broken clubs.
