This is complete anathema to both the British colonialists, led by Officer Henry Bullard (Bob Hoskins) and the local Iban tribe that Selima hails from.

Had he played it safe, he might still be dating Doreen (Linda Hart), instead of becoming hired help at his own place of business - which he lost to her on a sucker bet. If he'd played it safe he wouldn't be sacrificing his dignity to David Simms (Don Johnson), a PGA star and long-time rival, by accepting a job as his caddie. Tin Cup should have controlled what his best friend, Romeo Posar (Cheech Martin), called his "inner demons". When Dr Molly Griswold (Rene Russo) walked onto his green, he should have settled for giving the lady psychologist golf lessons and never allowed those demons to lead him into falling in love with her. Molly Griswold is already David Simms' girlfriend. Roy 'Tin Cup' McAvoy has to win Molly Griswold with a gesture so grand, so triumphant, so complete that nothing less than her undying adoration would be an appropriate response.And suddenly, inspiration strikes: The way to regain his dignity, his driving range and the attention of the woman with whom he is by now stammeringly smitten, is simple: all he has to do is win the U.S. Open - the most difficult tournament in the pro golfing world. |
