i laughed so much with this movie that i haven't laughed in a while. The reason is i don't find most modern actors funny,i think its not their fault its just that these times are not funny.Reynolds is from another era of different people ,he was a guy who knew what fun is supposed to be,in those days when he was king of Hollywood it was easier to have fun.As a movie star he never took himself seriously and that was the secret of his appeal.He was too good-looking,had too many women and too much success. In this movie he plays a guy who is a has-been,an older guy who still chases women and tries to make a fast score.Considering at one point some years back Reynolds was almost broke himself,this character is as close as you can get to the real Burt or at least the Burt persona. Burt plays this role knowing perfectly well thats how most people perceive him.He also has some of his friends do walk ons,there's a hilarious bit with Gary Busey. If you ever laughed with Reynolds and his particular humor,you'll enjoy this silly movie.If his style leaves you cold ,forget about this movie.I have always enjoyed Burt even in his older silly movies like Cannonball and such,so i also enjoyed this.In,fact i think he is funnier in this role making fun of his persona than he was in some of his hits.Definitely a silly movie but Reynolds is funny in it.

Do not watch this movie. There are 2 reasons for that:1. It is so boring that it tops the list of the most boring films ever made. It felt at some points that is is a porno film, but when any girl got half naked the scene ended. The level of the dialogs remain though at the level of porno films.2. Strippers are couched to be volleyball players. I really feel that it undermines the dedication and the amount of work needed to be a professional athlete.This is a porn movie with a lame plot that characterizes porn movies in general, but with all the "skin parts" removed. It's a huge waste of time! They should pay me for the time I spent watching this (even so I wouldn't do it again).

This a very smart sports comedy that brings in American obsessions, the Malibu class system, racism, sexism and celebrity culture-- but would you expect less from Albert S. Ruddy, who co-wrote the script with "Tabloid Baby" author Burt Kearns and Malibu celebrity Brett Hudson?Ruddy has two Best Picture Oscars-- for The Godfather and Million Dollar Baby-- and in fact, this is the follow-up to his latest Oscar!Great care has obviously gone into Burt Reynolds' first starring role in years. The character of Billy Cole is an extension of Paul Crew from The Longest Yard (another Ruddy production), and the rascal of Cannonball Run (Ruddy again!). Reynolds lives this part, and he interacts well with a huge ensemble cast of young hot talent.Gabrielle Reece is a wonder! An Amazon beauty with great comic timing. Angie Everhart gives it her all as a stripper who's seen it all-- until she sees Billy's latest idea. And Paul Rodriguez plays a phony "Chinaman" because "In Malibu, if you're Mexican, you're a gardener, but if you're Asian, you're a landscape artist." They will be writing college dissertations on this one.There's a lot to this movie-- and Gary Busey, too! And it starts with a script that almost directs itself. This one goes on the cool sports movie shelf, next to North Dallas Forty, Hooisers, Bull Durham and Blue Crush!

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.
