7/10
Clubhouse Fairytale

For anybody who loves golf movies this is a great movie to watch. Matt Damon, Will Smith and Charlize Theron are wonderful counterparts to him as are all of the supporting cast. The story is a remarkably deep metaphor that describes the untapped potential in each one of us. We all have, "That Perfect Swing" that we were born with and that we must find in order to make the most out of our lives, no matter what kind of life we have. This is a universal human truth and in a sense this is a movie that speaks to the untapped potential within all of us. "Tin Cup" is a generally enjoyable movie and would likely be found so by both sexes, as it is both sports flick and romantic comedy, and the four main cast members are all great in their roles. Cameo appearances are made by PGA Tour stars of the mid-90's such as Phil Mickelson and Lee Janzen, and Jim Nantz plays himself as a broadcaster.

There's lots of cameos from real golf pros, and a side story involving Cheech and the owner of a "gentleman's club" who owns the title to Roy's driving range, and enough real golf going on to keep everything moving along. Overall, an entertaining and enjoyable film with not only a good plot and script, but good acting, accompanied by a good cast of actors and a good director.

Overall rating: 7 out of 10.
