TIN CUP
Kevin
Costner, Rene Russo, Don Johnson, Cheech Marin
Warner
Bros.; Directed by Ron Shelton
Rated
R; 113 minutes; 1996
Ron Shelton, Kevin Costner, and Rene
Russo team up in this comedy-drama about love, risk, and golf. Costner plays a
driving range pro and golf hustler from West Texas whose legendary
ball-striking skills are matched only by his self-destructive nature and low
life charm. This comfortable life of failure is turned upside down when he is
smitten by a woman who comes in for golf lessons; he then sets out to quality
for the U.S. Open to prove to himself (and to her) that hes capable of heroic
achievements.
