Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

To me, this movie is perfection.

best movie i've ever seen.

A Masterpiece!

Continuing my plan to watch every Kevin Costner movie in order, I come to 1996's Tin Cup.Most A list actors would do anything to maintain their A list, star status, and if it starts slipping, the do anything to regain it, most run back to there most popular roles in a sequel, where there is an established fan base. KC certainly had movies in his filmography (Prince Of Thieves or Bodyguard) that people (especially the money men) would want to see sequels too (especially back then) but playing it safe has never been KC's way, so he signed up to star in a movie about golf. Plot In A Paragraph: Roy 'Tin Cup' McAvoy is a washed up golf pro, working at a driving range who decides to try and qualify for the US Open in order to win the heart of his psychiatrist Molly (Rene Russo) who also happens to be his successful rival's girlfriend. Written and directed by Ron Shelton, Tin Cup was a return to form for this Zoner, the movie and KC received good reviews, whilst the man himself got a golden globe nomination. I think it's one of his best movies. I actually know someone who says it's his best movie/performance, as the movie lives and dies with his character, if you don't like him, you won't root for him, and as an effect you probably won't like the movie. Whilst I won't go that far, I do really enjoy it.Tin Cup is not a formula sports movie. We can guess where the movie is headed, anticipate the broad outlines of the plot (Tin Cup will qualify for the U.S. Open, which of course ends in a showdown between himself and his big rival, whilst getting the girl). But the U.S. Open doesn't end quite the way we thought (I can still feel the crushing silence in the cinema) and the movie itself isn't even about who wins the Open.Tin Cup has a great supporting cast. Rene Russo who had done well in some big movies, shows a deft touch for comedy whilst Don Johnson is smarmy as hell, strutting his way through the movie as David Simms. However it's Cheech Martin who steals this movie for me. He was brilliant. Tin Cup has a nice soundtrack filled with some catchy songs. Tin Cup grossed $55 million at the domestic Box Office, to end the year the 28th highest grossing movie of 1996.Just remember, a little bit is better than nada....

During the US Open this year they accosted Gary McCord as being the story for the movie. He actually took an 18 in a PGA event trying to get over the water. He admitted to it!! He said he just knew he could get it over the water.He had no excuses.This is tough with the rules of ten lines. I actually liked the movie. Odd as I think Costner is over rated. He plays the same part in every movie. I only like Tin Cup and Water world. He has no stretch in his acting. Same character in every movie with different things happening. He has no range in his acting ability. Hopefully this is ten lines......

The film is every amateur golfer dream.The best serious golf movie in my mind. As far as comedy golf films, Happy Gilmore and Caddyshack were fun, but Tin Cup played out the dream of contending at the US Open and letting it all hang out! I personally am not a huge Kevin Costner fan, however having said that a number of his films seem to be on my top ten list of favourite films. Untouchables, Tip Cup, Field of Dreams are all awesome films. I gotta say I do respect him. He chooses his films well.Personally I like the ending of the film. A man facing his demons and confronting them head on, even with all odds being against him. I loved this film.

Like all its characters, including its "villain," Don Johnson, this movie is not perfect but deeply likable. The beginning shots tell us everything we need to know about the world of our hero. An underachiever, he spends his time with a pseudo-family of guys who have probably achieved everything they were capable of - not much. Each's distinct personality is established with a few words. Kevin Costner is infinitely likable. If he told me, as he does Molly, the ultimate object of his quest, to "grip it and rip it," I would grip anything he wanted gripped. Don Johnson, as the movie reaches its climax, conveys the insecurity that underlies his character's arrogance and guides his choices.I love that the movie upends our expectations and pokes fun at sports movie clichés, but at the end of the day, I do like for people to learn something about their lives. At the end of this movie, Tin Cup is making the same choices that derailed his career a dozen years earlier. The movie is a romance, but, although a woman would want to be with the roller coaster that is Tin Cup, would she want him for the father of her children. I don't know.
