Costner’s ‘Tin Cup’ overfloweth with real raucousness, romance By Gerry Beltz Film Critic *■'/*-*> A hint to Kevin Costner: Your smaller, humanistic film* (“Bull Durham” and now “Tin Cup”' have a wide range of appeal and make oodles of bucks, while your epic-style films (“Waterworld,” “Wyatt Earp,’ etc.) languish at the box office and are generally slammed by the critic: (“Dances With Wolves” being a verj notable exception). The hint? Keep your feet on the ground, and that’s just what you do ir “Tin Cup.” It also lexiks like part of your sue cess lies in working with director Roi Shelton, probably the one movie di rector you haven’t pissed off yet. Roy “Tin Cup” McAvoy (Costner is a beer-guzzling golf instructor wit! his green located in the middle of ai Arizona dust bowl. Living in a run down Winnebago, he spouts off witl golf philosophy at the drop of a hat. He could have gone pro, but alwayi goes for the wild, crowd-pleasing sho instead of the playing-the-percentagei shot, and thus, lost out on the bij game. (By the way, McAvoy got his “Til Cup” nickname because of... nah, jus see the movie.) Everything changes when Dr The Facts . Film: “Tin Cup” Stars: Kevin Costner, Rene Russo, ; Don Johnson, Cheech Marin i Director: Ron Shelton - Rating: R (language, brief nudity) ; Grade: B Five Words: Golf film shoots imder ; par : Molly Griswold (Rene Russo) tees up i for some lessons — and steals McAvoy’s heart. His flirtatious advances are met i with befuddled resistance from the - good doctor, and things get downright sticky when her boyfriend turns out I to be McAvoy’s longtime nemesis — i and former golf partner — David [ Simms (Don Johnson). McAvoy refuses to quit, and i Griswold’s resistance begins to weaken. He convinces himself that the 5 best way to fix everything would be tc t win the U.S. Open, the most difficult j — and prestigious—golf toumamenl l in the world. The ending of this film is actually i not visible from the opening credits t onward, and there’s enough going or between the beginning and the U.S . Open to keep the audience entertained One scene of special interest: McAvoy plays a round of golf using gardening tools and a baseball bat (since his clubs are in the pawn shop). McAvoy can go from philosopher to immature womanizer in the same breath, and still not lose that certain charisma which draws people to him. Costner makes the character lovable, and never fails in keeping the role of the underdog firmly implanted in his performance. Russo is very enjoyable as the mu tual love interest, but her role lacks strength. Also, for a shrink, she seems easily flustered. Oh well, whatever the script asks for... The real treat of the “Tin Cup” comes in the form of Cheech Marin. He is McAvoy’s caddy, golf coach and — most importantly — adviser of amour. While equal ground is covered in romance and comedy, the film runs just a wee too long. At a running time of 130 minqtes, there’s about 15 min utes scattered throughout the film which could have been cut. Also hurting the film is the exces sive profanity. We’re not talking ev ery other word being an expletive, but there’s more swearing here than is re ally necessary. Still, everything comes together very well, and “Tin Cup” is a very heart-warming film to see. Don't get caught with out a parking spot... Save $$ too!
