Good concept, poorly executed.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I liked it. It could have been much worse and turned into an unexpected drama. It could have dropped the nudity and went for more laughs.Let's see. It has gratuitous nudity since the girls were strippers before becoming volleyball players. Famous/Infamous actors to grab your attention. The movie even has a moral."Never judge a book by it's cover." I think it applied that at least twice.1) The strippers weren't really appreciated as volleyball players until they buckled down and learned to play. Then, people had to acknowledge skills and talent above previous job history and beauty.2) Burt's character seemed completely money-oriented and somewhat heartless but his conscience was in there, hiding. After humiliating the girls in a muddy volleyball game, he realized how much suffering they were willing to go through to be "real" volleyball players.Overall, it was a little better than average and a fun movie to pass an evening by. Yes, there are much better movies BUT there are also much worse ones out there.

**** Spoilers within... ****There is a point in the movie where you visibly see Burt Reynolds get the idea of taking bubble-headed strippers and making them into champion beach volleyball players. To anyone who has played any sort of volleyball, or any sport at all for that matter, this was truly the "gouge my eyes out with a fork" moment of the movie. From this point forward, we were watching all of the realism of a Muppets movie, but with far less intelligent dialog.Now while I don't follow championship volleyball at any level, I *do* know that players like Gabriella Reece play like they do thanks to a lifetime of dedication to the sport. And there was no amount of quick camera shots and stunt doubles that made this stinker vaguely believable.The "comedy" was lame and you could see the plot twists coming down Pacific Coast Highway a mile away.

first of the person who said there is no skin in this film clearly hasn't seen it as there is plenty on show. i mean its a beach volleyball comedy about a team of strippers so what do you expect.this is quite an average comedy following all the usual plot points (underdogs becoming winners, changes of heart from the main characters and all that stuff). Burt reynolds plays his usual lovable rogue character which he has honed to perfection over the years and could play his part in his sleep but it is the beautiful girls that are the stars of this film (especially Katheryn Winnick (from Satan's little helper) as olga and Marne patterson as crystal). a few famous and not so famous stars pop up in small cameos for you to spot and I'm sure a few of the volleyball girls are professionals (gabrielle reece is the only one i know for sure). I'm not saying this is a really funny film or anything but i can certainly think of worse ways of spending an hour and a half than to watch this. this would be a good film if your chilling with your mates having a drink and just want something in the background. one for the boys.

I saw this movie and it was terrible. Not only does it not show any skin from the female volleyball players (which it should) but the acting is horrible. I expected a train wreck with some skin but what I got was a train wreck with no skin. Picture a script from Skinamaxs (Cinemax) which has horrible storyline but with no skin. Burt does a horrible job acting in this film and the girls can't act to save their lives!! Angie Everhart playing an uptight stripper seems kind of crazy to me and Hugley was H O R R I B L E in this film then again he's pretty much horrible in all the movies he's in. My advice , unless u get a free view of this film stay away.
