Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The idea of transposing the story to the macho, greedy world of big-time sports is promising, but director Jesse Vaughan delivers only flat dialogue and predictable situations.

rotten:
The movie is sloppily edited, the gags limply staged, the dialogue and jokes stiff and stale. Even the action on the basketball court is unimaginative and boring.
– David Germain,

rotten:
An unpersuasive moral journey, with a smattering of laughs, that fails to justify the insulting premise that only a man can help the ladies win at both basketball and love.

rotten:
Vaughan brings such disregard to the film that its pedestrian on-court action might as well have been shot from the bleacher seats.

rotten:
A Tootsie-role sports farce that's a drag in every which way.
