Movie Review

Grade: A Kevin Costner is in a sports movie yet again, and once more, he makes it an enjoyable ride. He's Roy "Tin Cup" McAvoy, one of the best golfer's in the world, yet he works on a decrepit driving range. The story is a romance comedy, as he falls in love with the girlfriend (Rene Russo) of his golf rival (Don Johnson). Read the full movie review
