CN’s ALL THE RIGHT MOVIES: We’re Humble Now, Holmes - TIN CUP

Corn Nation: for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans

Season 1 comes to close as we review the sweet tale of a golfer who knows greatness courts failure - and whose inner child needs a spanking.

Tin Cup came out in the summer of ‘96 and immediately shoved in next to Caddyshack for the title of Greatest Golf Movie Ever. I love Caddyshack, but I my vote goes to the Cup.

Kevin Costner’s hilarious portrayal of the goofy, loveable and self-destructive Roy McAvoy is one of his finest - and I’ll fight to the death defending that. The top-notch cast included Don Johnson, Cheech Marin, Rene Russo, a pack of “that guys” as his crew and many cameos from real-life pros and TV personalities of the time.

The script was both lyrical and hilarious and you don’t have to love golf to love this movie.

Tin Cup - join us.
