In the 1996 film "Tin Cup," Roy McAvoy (Kevin Costner) is the owner of a driving range in rural West Texas. Once seemingly destined for stardom on the PGA Tour, Roy is stuck in a directionless life and trapped in obscurity. When Molly Griswold (Renee Russo), a psychologist, shows up for golf lessons, Roy becomes smitten but learns that she is involved with an old college teammate of his, tour pro David Simms (Don Johnson). Roy and David have a falling out during a charity tournament, leading Roy to attempt to qualify for and win the U.S. Open. He must conquer old demons that kept him from reaching his potential in the past--he relies on Molly for advice on the mental side of his golf game, but marches to his own drummer and does not rely on the sound advice of his caddy, Romeo Posar (Cheech Marin), on course management when they are inside the ropes. Along the way, he finds that he wants to win not just the Open but Molly as well. "Tin Cup" is a generally enjoyable movie and would likely be found so by both sexes, as it is both sports flick and romantic comedy, and the four main cast members are all great in their roles. Cameo appearances are made by PGA Tour stars of the mid-Nineties such as Phil Mickelson and Lee Janzen, and Jim Nantz plays himself as a broadcaster. Rated R for language and adult content.

I came late to this movie, watching it for the first time just a month ago. However, I've played golf for 52 years, starting with my Dad when I was 7, and I see the character of Roy McAvoy as an everyman figure for everyone who's ever played and game and wanted to make "the shot." HBecause that's Roy's great tragic failing: he knows he can make The Shot, and he refuses to back down from attempting it. His best friend and lifelong caddy Romeo Posar (Cheech Marin), puts it to him bluntly and frequently: "Par can win." Roy, however, sees every lie as a personal affront and something to be attacked and defeated. This attitude cost him a pro career as a young college-age prodigy, while his best friend/rival David Simms (Don Johnson) was willing to settle for par and not attempt The Shot, and now has a decent career on the pro circuit. The film starts with Roy giving a golf lesson to therapist Dr. Molly Giswold (Renee Russo) at his run-down driving range. His beer-drinking buddies at the range judge her harshly: "Such a pretty girl, and such an ugly swing." Roy offers her a philosophic view of golf, similar to his soliloquy on baseball in "Bull Durham," but in the end he advises her to to just "Grip it and rip it." Roy immediately grasps that she's taking lessons because of her boyfriend, and discovers that the boyfriend is his old college friend David Simms when David shows up at Roy's range and offers Roy what he thinks is an opportunity to play in David's local Pro-Am tournament. Roy at first is excited to get back into golf at this level, but then is outraged to find out that David wants him as his caddy. "I can't take some guy off the street for this tournament," David says, emphasizing that he's trying to build a legacy and wants only recognized golfers to participate. Roy refuses at first, but Romeo convinces his to take the job because David offers $100 plus 5% of any winnings. But once again, Roy's stubbornness causes his downfall when David refuses The Shot in his tournament to play it safe, and a contemptuous Roy makes a bet that he can make the shot with his 7-iron. (Roy's 7-iron figures very large in this film.) David tells Roy that if he tries the shot he'll fire him, but Roy does it anyway -- successfully -- and David fires him on the spot and refuses to pay him anything. Molly continues to come to Roy for lessons, however, and Roy realizes that he's fallen for her. A funny scene where he goes to her for therapy and confesses his love for her TO her, and her subsequent confusion about how to deal with it, leads to him offering to try to enter the U.S. Open (a major tournament open to anyone with a handicap 3 or above who can qualify at a local tournament) to prove his seriousness. Golf hijinks ensue. As "Caddyshack" was to golf over-the-top-comedy, "Tin Cup" is to golf could-really-happen comedy. Don Johnson is excellent as Kevin Costner's former friend and now rival, disdaining Costner's failings while recognizing his true talent. You never get a feeling of dislike between the pair; more a feeling of you-could-have-been-great-now-look-at-you from Johnson and I'll-prove-you-wrong-yet from Costner. There's lots of cameos from real golf pros, and a side story involving Cheech and the owner of a "gentleman's club" who owns the title to Roy's driving range, and enough real golf going on to keep everything moving along. I highly recommend this for an evening's entertainment. Read more
