Tin Cup (1997,dvd)

Tin Cup is one of the best sports films ever made. However,I could see how someone might not like it,because they think golf is boring. I disagree with the thought of golf being boring,but everybody has a right to their opinion. The movie stars Kevin Costner,Rene Russo,Cheech Marin,and Don Johnson. Kevin Costner plays aging golf pro Roy Macvoy. He owns a run down driving range in the middle of nowhere. Roy is content in his life until he meets Molly played by Rene Russo. She wants a golf lesson because her boyfriend is a tour pro,and wouldn't you know her boyfriend David Simms an old competitor of Roy's. Don Johnson does an excellent job of conveying what a dirtbag this guy is. Therefore,Roy has to show Molly that he is as good as David by qualifying for the U.S. Open. Kevin Costner and Rene Russo make a great couple in the movie. You root for him to win the U.S. Open,but his go for broke philosophy does him in. Doesn't that remind you of someone else? Say Phil Mickelson. He had the U.S. Open won,and just keeping driver on the tee until he gave the tournament away. I never been much of a Cheech Marin fan,but he turns in a good performance as his caddy/friend who tries to get him to listen to reason out on the course with little success. Ron Shelton directed the film. He is a genius at sport films having done Bull Durham and White Men Can't Jump. Tin cup proves Kevin Costner is a good actor. Yes I know Waterworld sucked,but give the guy a break. Highly recommended for golf fans.
