San Francisco Examiner Barbara Shulgasser
Shelton has a talent for using the specific to illustrate the universal. Avowed baseball haters loved "Bull Durham." And if watching golf sounds like an excellent insomnia cure, you will probably still enjoy Tin Cup.
Read Full Review >Time Richard Schickel
Rene Russo is both knowing and vulnerable, proving beyond a doubt that she is modern Hollywood's one true heiress to the screwball tradition. [19 August 1996, p.68]
Empire Mark Salisbury
Shelton keeps the humour straight down the middle and, just like "Bull Durham" before it, uses the rituals and metaphors of sport to relate the complexities of love and relationships.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Peter Stack
Accomplishes the impossible, maybe the unimaginable -- it makes golf entertaining.
Read Full Review >The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Rick Groen
The climax also comes with a nifty little kicker.
Read Full Review >USA Today Susan Wloszczyna
Costner and Russo show they're up to par. [16 August 1996, p.D1]
Variety Todd McCarthy
Amiable and constantly amusing rather than uproarious, this mangy tale of a ne'er-do-well's fitful assault on personal and professional respectability benefits greatly from Kevin Costner's ingratiatingly comic star turn, his most appealing work in years.
Read Full Review >Newsweek David Ansen
The good news about the amiable but only partly satisfying Tin Cup is that it frees Kevin Costner from playing a monument and restores to us the loose, sparkling comic actor he used to be. [19 August 1996, p.66]
TV Guide Staff (Not credited)
You can almost feel writer-director Ron Shelton praying for lightning to strike twice, but to no avail.
Read Full Review >Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
Ron Shelton's romantic comedy has no more visual excitement than a televised golf tournament, but the climax is truly surprising, and there's solid acting by Don Johnson and Cheech Marin.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Hollis Chacona
If you've got money to waste and enjoy pain, go ahead and see this movie. Or just play a round of golf. Six of one…
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Jonathan Rosenbaum
I can think of only one bit of Tin Cup that's beautiful, imaginative, and different, and it lasts for only a few seconds: a speech delivered by Russo, before her character is transformed into the standard-issue cheerleader, is broken into fragments by jump cuts.

Pat C. gave it a4:
Golfers will appreciate it, and it's a cute entertainment, but once again there is no limit on Costner's ability to dumb down a story.
