1160.0. "Tin Cup" by NEMAIL::KEEFE () Thu Aug 29 1996 16:36

    Saw this movie last night.  It stars Kevin Coster, Rene Russo, Don
    Johnson, and Cheech Marin.  I don't think it will do for golf what
    Bull Durham did for baseball or what Saturday Night Fever did for
    disco, but its a nice try.  My take was that it was a real cute
    romantic comedy.  Some good one liners, and a couple of real good
    plot twists.  We really enjoyed it, but it could have waited for
    video too.  Really enjoyed the references to Costners other claim
    to fame...namely Bull Durham,some funny references in its sub-
    plots really made me giggle...
    
    my ranking   *** out of *****

1160.1Excellent movie - great writing as usual by SheltonTNPUBS::NAZZAROZydeco!Fri Aug 30 1996 15:329
    I saw it a couple of nights ago - it is my favorite movie of the
    summer.  Costner is perfect in the role of a guy who should be better
    than he is, and can't seem to get a grip on why he's not.  Cheech Marin
    almost steals the movie as his best friend.  Rene Russo is terrific,
    and there are several excellent supporting roles.  Watching the 330 +
    Pound Dennis Burkley try to caddy is worth the price of admission
    alone!  Lastly, Don Johnson was made to play Costner's slimeball rival.

Well, does that sound like Kevin Costner or doesn't it?
