  "Tin Cup" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
A small town driving-range pro, Roy "Tin Cup" McAvoy (Kevin Costner) has all the potential to be a great player, but he lacks discipline and motivation, untill the beautiful, witty Dr. Molly Griswold (Rene Russo) comes into his life.
Tin Cup has been heralded as the "Bull Durham" of golf -- and it is. However this is not a "sports" movie - it's a boy/girl movie.
In this reviewer's opinion Tin Cup is just a good, romantic, fun movie, with a moral: i.e., if you want to be a success you must excercise self discipline and wisdom, but don't become so encroached in caution that you miss your miracle.

 Review: Tin Cup   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
Saying that Tin Cup may be the best-ever "golf motion picture" isn't exactly high praise, considering the competition (Caddyshack, Happy Gilmore), but it's true nonetheless.
One of the most laudable characteristics of Tin Cup is that the script never condescends to either of the main characters.
There's a believability and depth to both Kevin Costner's Roy "Tin Cup" McAvoy and Rene Russo's Molly Griswold, and the understated manner in which they relate to each other is a welcome change-of-pace during this season of loud, ostentatious explosions.

 Spirituality & Health: Movie Review: Tin Cup   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
In Tin Cup, Roy (Kevin Costner in an immensely appealing and relaxed performance) is a Texas golf ace who runs a seedy driving range and hangs out with a beer-guzzling group of middle-aged men who have seen better days.
Along the way, he tests the patience and loyalty of his best friend and caddy (Cheech Marin) while trying to convince Molly that she is with the wrong man. Roy ends up competing in the U.S. Open and going for broke.
Tin Cup is one of the best films of 1996 with its message that in love and in sports, playing it safe can't hold a candle to taking risks and acting from the heart.

If somebody watches Tin Cup and does not find this movie a "must-see", it might be either because you don't know golf, or because you take life too easy.
Tin Cup goes insight all of that, and it shows it to us, in such a simple form through the eyes and life of Roy McAvoy and his buddies, that at the end you find yourself with nothing but the urge to rent it again.
Forget for a while about the romance and the girl, if so you want, but don't deny that the songs, the views, and the dialogue are superb.

The opening patter between Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes in White Men Can't Jump is pure genius and Tin Cup is also rich with delightful lines: "Sex and golf are the two things you can enjoy even if you're not good at them," remarks Roy McAvoy (Costner).
