4.0 out of 5 stars Great movie until the end!, March 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Side Out [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This would have been THE movie for beach volleyball, filmed in Manhattan Beach, has appearances from Sinjin Smith, Steve Timmons, Randy Stoklos, all the major pros of the time. Very fun to watch. Great movie except that the very last scene, without spoiling it for you, makes everyone who plays beach volleyball cringe because they end it with a very illegal hand set. This movie had so much potential but became the laughing stock of the beach crowd because of those 3 seconds of footage right before the credits roll. Too bad the film's editor didn't catch that, this would have been a much more popular movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic 80's style, November 8, 2002
This review is from: Side Out [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I can't believe I'm reviewing this, but after seeing it again after so many years it just struck me......eeeekkk! It is one of the quintessential 80's films but was released in 1990. Oh and it's all their, bad hair, bad clothes, bad sayings, bad music. And of course set at the beach, there is a lot of skin. It's actually not a bad story, C. Thomas Howell plays a wannabe lawyer out in California for the summer working for his uncle. On his first assignment, giving eviction notices, he meets Peter Horton (from beloved "thirtysomething" fame) and they become volleyball partners in the big tournament. It sounds bizarre but works as only those '80s movies can. Courtney Thorne-Smith and Harley Jane Kozak support the cast, as does Terry Kiser who plays another Bernie but doesn't get killed this time! Oh what fun and pain at the same time to watch this movie and remember that this is what it used to be like back in the 80's! So now I've written the review, and if you come across Side Out in the video store it won't disappoint.

3.0 out of 5 stars Funniest Movie (non-intentional), November 12, 2002
By 
R. Walley (Orange County) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Side Out [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This movie falls in with so many other failed attempts at a decent movie that has to do with sports. The movie is no where near believable. The worst display of volleyball i have ever seen. The movie really gets funny when they try to act. However, cheezball movies such as these are classics, and should be in everyone's collection.
