Plot Summary
From the writer of "Bull Durham" and "White Men Can't Jump" comes this romantic comedy starring Academy Award-winner Kevin Costner ("Dances with Wolves,") and Rene Russo ("Get Shorty," "Outbreak"). Costner is a driving range pro and golf hustler whose legendary ball-striking skills are matched only by his self-destructive and low-life charm. His comfortable life of failure is turned upside down when he's smitten with a woman who comes in for golf lessons, and he sets out to qualify for the U.S. Open to prove to himself (and to her) that he's capable of heroic achievement. Co-starring Don Johnson and Cheech Marin.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: This film's overriding message is as pleasing as its flippant, skillful banter.
Fresh: The climactic game, in which Roy, in a way that defies prediction, attempts to sink the shot of his life, is the most rousing sequence of the year, a celebration of what it really means to win.
Fresh: As he always does in comedy, Costner grants an irresistible gleam of gallantry to male mulishness.
Rotten: Dispiritingly conventional and obvious.
Customer Reviews
Two thumbs way up!
This is Kevin Costner at his best. I've seen this movie way too meny times. A feel-good movie that seemed to fall between the crack of Hollywood.
Great
Finally!! In my opinion this movie is quite possibly one of the best sports / golf movies ever made. Very funny plot and cast.
" just rip it! "
