Rent it. It's forgettable as it follows the same idea as Sideout. Former star college basketball player decides to try volleyball and makes the finals on the AVP tour after one month of training and a little beach romance. I liked it better than I thought I would after reading about it in DIG Magazine. It's a good looking movie but sports movies often fall flat on being believable including stiff cameos from star athletes. Unrealistic game play at times. A scene outside a store with a bunch of TVs in the window forecasting the doom of the AVP's hot rookie seemed like an event from another era. What store still has TVs in the front window? Also, if you've ever wondered what happened to Jaleel "Steve Urkel" White, he manages the team. Any homage to Sideout made this much less original.

It's okay to watch and appreciate this movie if you're a beach volleyball fan, otherwise, you'll have no clue as to what's going on. Very interesting story about beach volleyball players though.

We didn't expect this to be a great movie, but we did expect it to be watchable. The volume was all over the place. Soft talking - turn the volume up. Next scene, way louder - turn the volume down. We finally turned it off about half way through.We love volley ball, but this film is just not worth the effort.

Watched it on TV because I hung out on that beach for years and still play volleyball. The volleyball scenes weren't too good, edited to hide actors playing deficiencies no doubt. After this movie came out the AVP beach volleyball league went bankrupt. Was it the movie's fault?

I enjoyed this movie. It is not an award winner and is a bit predictable. That said it is still fun - a lot lf beautiful California scenes. Those who enjoyed David Charvet from Bay Watch will enjoy this movie. Honest effort in the acting.

The movie isn't going to win an Oscar, but it's got heart... and lots of Vollyball. That was enough for me.

Kristin Cavallari isn't hard to look at either.
