TIN CUP
______________________________
DIRECTED BY RON SHELTON
STARRING KEVIN COSTNER
RENE RUSSO
DON JOHNSON
Kevin Costner returns to a genre
he's adept at, namely romantic com-
edy, teaming up with director Ron
Shelton for a film that reconfirms his
position as both modern cinema's
finest romantic leading man and a
gifted comedy actor.
Costner stars as Ron Tin Cup
McAvoy, an ex-college golfing
champion whose stubbornness ham-
pered his natural ability to swing a
club and consequently kept him off
the professional touring circuit. He
trades on his former glories, giving
lessons on a run-down driving range
in the middle of rural Texas.
But when the new psychiatrist in
town (played by René Russo, never
better) turns up one evening for a
lesson, McAvoy is immediately
smitten with love for her. He sets
out to woo her, but after his normal
romantic technique fails to con-
vince, he decides that only a grand
gesture will do and he sets out to
win the US Open. So determined is
he to succeed in sport and love that
he makes some extraordinary, and
hilarious, changes in his personality
and style of play.
Tin Cup is a deliciously witty,
profound and sly exploration of
love, redemption and one man's
quest for immortality. Shelton uses
the ritual and metaphors of sport to
relate the complexities of love and
relationships. The performances
throughout are spot on, with Cost-
ner once again on top form. Quite
wonderful. I can thoroughly rec-
ommend it.
12.3 Work in pairs or groups. Tell each other about a film you have seen re-
cently, using the vocabulary and material in 1, 2.1, 6 , 7.

a review of it for a student magazine. Give details of the content and your as-
sessment of it. Say whether you would recommend it to your fellow students.
Write approximately 250 words.
