The plot is hopelessly sophomoric, the acting is universally poor, and the sports as unrealistic as it gets. Yet there is something engaging about attractive partially clad people living the beach life fantasy.
A college basketball player comes to LA to work for his uncle's law firm. Through improbable circumstances he befriends a deadbeat ex-pro volleyball player about to be evicted from his multimillion dollar ocean view home (everyone lives on the beach in SoCal) and the only way to avoid eviction is to win the beach volleyball tournament conveniently taking place in a few weeks! A couple weeks of part-time training the unlikely pair are beating ex-olympians who are the best beach volleyballers in the world. Throw in a never happen love interest and you've got yourself a film.
It's produced in the style of those films from the 50's where the kids hold a car wash to raise money to get grandma that operation and save the family farm from the evil banker.
Eight stars for being fun with no shoehorned in beat us over the head "message".
