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.
August 05, 2008
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.
August 05, 2008
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.
August 05, 2008
As he always does in comedy, Costner grants an irresistible gleam of gallantry to male mulishness.
June 24, 2006
Costner hasn't been this charming and spontaneous for years.
September 29, 2005
Shelton resurrects the likable Costner of "Bull Durham" in this genial golf comedy.

Lose about 30 minutes and there may be a stronger film in there.

What makes Tin Cup such an unabashed pleasure is Shelton's care in writing and developing interesting characters.
August 05, 2008
You can almost feel writer-director Ron Shelton praying for lightning to strike twice, but to no avail.
December 10, 2004
All the golf action and happy "feel-good" emotions that audiences expect (and want) but... without following the traditional sports movie conventions.

Tin Cup works for viewers of any handicap.
June 18, 2002
Tin Cup, starring Kevin Costner as a likable loser, accomplishes the impossible, maybe the unimaginable -- it makes golf entertaining.
