Tin Cup

DIRECTED BY: Ron Shelton

REVIEWED: 08-29-96

This tissue-weight romantic comedy about love, ambition and golfing is sweet, enjoyable and forgettable. Golf fans will probably like it more than the population-at-large, and golf fans on dates will probably like it most of all. Rene Russo is funny, charismatic and gorgeous as a ditzy psychotherapist; Kevin Costner manages to come off as a suitable love interest for her, despite the fact that his character is a slacker and an alcoholic. (Maybe because he looks more like a movie star than a loser, alcoholic golf pro.) Together they take the high stakes, tension-filled world of pro-golfing by storm!
