A breezy comedy about a man's honour, pride and perversity

Kevin Costner is, as IMDB says, the washed-up golfer giving lessons to greenhorns in the back end of nowhere. Into his life comes a therapist of sorts, played by Rene Russo, looking for golf lessons. She's all head and he's all heart. That being the case, simplistic though it sounds, she tells him he should follow his heart and trust himself when making decisions. Then he asks her out. Oops.She's involved with an old rival of his, a successful golfer, played by Don Johnson. Tin Cup (Costner) evidently ruined his chances, years back, on account of a perverse stubborn streak. When he gets in that mood there's no talking to him. Russo isn't biting so Tin decides to try and qualify for the top tournament, the US Open, to impress her. He knows he's the right man for her, and that Don is only posing as the right man.Know thyself. The most ancient wisdom. Accepting oneself, that's another matter. Tin actually seems pretty laid back for a washed up golfer, a might-have-been. But hey, whatevs.This isn't a po-faced sports drama, it's a sports comedy, a sports romantic comedy. It basically ends with something that has become the bane of all out existence, a publicity stunt to secure fame. Cup sure has courage, even if he lacks sense.A feel-good golf movie. Not an eagle but definitely a birdie.

A good movie about golf, but not relationships...

I am fascinated by this film, no doubt about it. It displays a great affection from the title character for the game of golf. However, his character itself makes me want to punch him in the face with a baseball bat. The way the character acts...SPOILER ALERT!!! ... it just pisses me off beyond repair. He is a self-centered, worthless, girlfriend stealing asshole. With no respect for his friends nor anything for that matter except his blown up ego.SPOILER ALERT END!!! This movie however is a great film that is worth the watch, especially if you like golf!
