... There`s two things ( Amongst others ) I find boring . One is the sport of golf where boring ( OMG are golfers boring ) men with absolutely no dress sense strut around whacking a ball into a hole a few hundred yards away . The second is a Kevin Costner performance . Can there be a less charismatic leading man from the last 20 years ? A commie outlaw in merry olde England , a man living amongst red indians , a man investigating the murder of a president , a man sailing the oceans in search of land - No matter what role he plays I have to struggle to stay awake when he`s on screen . I yawned all the way through this due to the plot and the leading man , and I`ve had to take two long naps while writing this review , that`s the effect TIN CUP had on me
The movie isn`t helped by the screenplay that revolves around Costner ( I can`t remember his character`s name because I didn`t think I was watching a character be played out on screen - I was watching Kevin Costner playing himself yet again ) getting ready for a golf tournament while trying to juggle a relationship . So right away you know that the climax takes place at a make or break tournament where he either wins or loses the tournament and he wins or loses the gal , that`s if anyone cares in the first place and I know I didn`t . In the meantime we have to suffer Kev wearing sun shades , smiling , having a beer and hear him utter a rude word or two . I think he might have tried to sing but I was struggling to stay awake at this point
If you`re an addict of either golf or Kevin Costner you`ll enjoy this movie. If you`re a fan of both then you must be the saddest person on Earth , and if you`re a fan of neither then only watch this if you can`t sleep
