Critics Consensus

Breezy and predictable, Tin Cup is a likeable sports comedy that benefits greatly from Kevin Costner's amiable lead performance.

It is a charmer from tee-off to final putt.

The good news about the amiable but only partly satisfying Tin Cup is that it frees Kevin Costner from playing a monument and restores to us the loose, sparkling comic actor he used to be.

As he always does in comedy, Costner grants an irresistible gleam of gallantry to male mulishness.

Costner’s childish charm and Shelton’s devotion to sports turn this overlong feature into an absolute joy.

4.5/5

Watch for the sometimes outrageous golf action, stay for the magnificent banter and sizzling chemistry.

3.5/5

Tin Cup might not be a classic in the way that Bull Durham was but it still works as a sports rom-com even if the film is slightly long.

Very cliche, very boring.

One of Costner's more enjoyable performances. He is on fine form here and showcases his comedic chops to full effect. A pretty fun movie even if you could not care less about golf.

I was more than a bit surprised at how much I enjoyed this light and fun sports-rom-com. I wish the actual sports dramatics were better, which just inexplicable following the whims of the screenwriter instead of the characters reality, but there's still much to like. The dialogue is great, even with the constant golf puns and metaphors, which are delivered with such intention and self-awareness. Costner is in top form; cocky, likable, and disruptive, it's like a grown-up's version of Happy Gilmore.

'Tin Cup' has some entertaining moments, but for a Costner-Shelton collaboration it falls flat not only because of its ludicrous ending, but for taking what worked in 'Bull Durham' and trying to duplicate it to the point where it becomes cliché.

A really inspiring psychological quirky movies. Love it...you have to be able to understand the "Conquering" gene.

Fairytale, good ol' boy, rugged individual, movie making as a country song like only Kevin Costner can pull off.
