Short Review

Beach volleyball player meets stalker.Melissa Keller and Kayla Ewell trained several hours per day in order to perform proper beach volleyball techniques for the film. They deserve praise for doing a great job. This did not prevent the director from shooting a scene in which they pass the ball with their hands 5 or 6 times in a row. (You pass with your forearms). They are great looking ladies though and Keller has a few rear nude shower scenes that show off her tan. Wow, Ive already resorting to reporting nudity in an effort to avoid completely dismissing this one. If the writer and director put as much into the film as Keller and Ewell did training - this would have been one hell of a movie.Unfortunately the movie is not about volleyball. If you like run of the mill TV crime dramas you won't mind this one. You also won't recommend it to your friends. There's nothing terrible about the cast or acting and nothing memorable either. Brian Austin Green phones in a decent Ray Liotta imitation as the stalker and the rest of the cast did their best with a mediocre script. The "Training for" special feature is by far the best thing on the disc. It shows Keller and Ewell seriously training on the beach. That lasts about 5 minutes. If they had cut out the film and just showed the women training for 1 hour and 25 minutes - I would highly recommend the DVD. I can't recommend the other hour and 20 minutes. If you are looking for a good movie about beach volleyball - it hasn't been made yet. Don't waste your time on "Sideout" or "Beach Kings" either. Sadly, this was the best of the three.
