Costner’s childish charm and Shelton’s devotion to sports turn this overlong feature into an absolute joy.

| Jul 21, 2023

Watch for the sometimes outrageous golf action, stay for the magnificent banter and sizzling chemistry.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 30, 2021

Tin Cup might not be a classic in the way that Bull Durham was but it still works as a sports rom-com even if the film is slightly long.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 21, 2020

Eight years after collaborating on the best sports movie ever made, Bull Durham's writer-director and star reunited for another film in the same vein.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 4, 2020

It is a charmer from tee-off to final putt.

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.

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

As he always does in comedy, Costner grants an irresistible gleam of gallantry to male mulishness.

| Aug 5, 2008

Tin Cup works for viewers of any handicap.

You can almost feel writer-director Ron Shelton praying for lightning to strike twice, but to no avail.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 5, 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.

| Original Score: A- | Aug 5, 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.

Costner hasn't been this charming and spontaneous for years.

| Jun 24, 2006

What makes Tin Cup such an unabashed pleasure is Shelton's care in writing and developing interesting characters.

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.

| Original Score: C+ | Apr 9, 2005

All the golf action and happy "feel-good" emotions that audiences expect (and want) but... without following the traditional sports movie conventions.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 10, 2004

Like other Shelton movies, it's dappled with interesting characters.
