Sadly Over-hyped
Good movie but grossly overrated
Good concept, poorly executed.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
A generic chick flick if there ever was one. This movie is kind of like a female Happy Gilmore, in fact thats probably why it was made. Its an alright movie, nothing spectacular. It should have been a made for TV or direct to video movie.5.0
Well, if you're a golf fan—and by that, I mean you like watching bad movies that have a golf setting—you'll be able to get through this one without boredom setting in. For the rest of you, skip this one and pick another Kevin Costner sports movie.Kevin Costner and sports—a combination we've happily watched three times before Tin Cup and three times after. This one, where Costner plays a has-been golfer who gets back in the game to get, uh, love, just doesn't cut the mustard. Who would have thought? The star is a good-looking guy, the love interest is as pretty as Hollywood can make her, and the promotional poster is really cute (and incidentally doesn't even hint at the movie having anything to do with golf). Somewhere along the line, it falls flat. Probably around the time when Costner shows Rene Russo how to golf and does the whole "I'll stand behind you and show you how to hold the stick" routine.If you like cheesy, kind-of-lousy romantic comedies, go out and rent it. It's not atrocious. You'll live. But if you're in the mood for a better movie (and just as much Kevin Costner yumminess) you're better off watching Bull Durham.
For anybody who loves golf movies this is a great movie to watch. Matt Damon, Will Smith and Charlize Theron are wonderful counterparts to him as are all of the supporting cast. The story is a remarkably deep metaphor that describes the untapped potential in each one of us. We all have, "That Perfect Swing" that we were born with and that we must find in order to make the most out of our lives, no matter what kind of life we have. This is a universal human truth and in a sense this is a movie that speaks to the untapped potential within all of us. "Tin Cup" is a generally enjoyable movie and would likely be found so by both sexes, as it is both sports flick and romantic comedy, and the four main cast members are all great in their roles. Cameo appearances are made by PGA Tour stars of the mid-90's such as Phil Mickelson and Lee Janzen, and Jim Nantz plays himself as a broadcaster.There's lots of cameos from real golf pros, and a side story involving Cheech and the owner of a "gentleman's club" who owns the title to Roy's driving range, and enough real golf going on to keep everything moving along. Overall, an entertaining and enjoyable film with not only a good plot and script, but good acting, accompanied by a good cast of actors and a good director.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.
"Tin Cup" is a unique experience, in that after viewing this movie, you won't automatically compare it to any other film ... there isn't another one like it.It wrote in another review that all sports films contains many clichés. Well, I have to contradict myself in describing this film about golf. It starts many clichés, and then breaks them in half, sometimes literally! LOL Funny, charming, romantic, and defiant, Tin Cup gives you a bit of everything ... even a realistic ending but with a crumb thrown to the future at the same time.And the phrase "Tin Cup" made its way into sports talk for an event where a golfer REALLY screws up on a hole, especially if from stubbornness.
