Sooooo many people are giving this an instant classic status in the reviews that I think if Hollywood were smart (and we all know it's not) that they would invest in another Volleyball movie. Don't worry, I don't think this is an instant classic. But I do think it is a fun and entertaining B-movie. And I can see the volleyball thing. I grew up in a Podunk, backwater, destroyed by NAFTA, factory town in the Midwest and among kids...Volleyball and Ultimate Frisbee were pretty big. So was disc golf. Volleyball was actually so big, we even had a bar designed around it... no BS, but you had to have something to play, right? All the Sandlots were occupied by children, football was too big and organized to be a go to pick up... Volleyball you only need 4 people, easy to round up. So the whole thesis that there is a kid from the Midwest that didn't know how to play Volleyball... not buying it. I'll believe he's not used to the sand, that's about it. But you know Hollywood. They have the impression that the Midwest is Chicago.... and idiots that can only recognize corn and the children that live in it. Anyway, take movies like "Over the Top,"movies like "Aireborne" "Karate Kid" movies about the kid out of water that arrives in a new place and wins people over because of his skill at... whatever... and you have this. Or at least you have half of it. The other half is an extended version of the Top Gun volleyball scene, with worse music.
