Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

One of the first attempts to duplicate the "worst - insert activity - team in the world whipped into shape by dedicated coach" formula that originated from The Bad News Bears, is one of the best. Basketball is the sport this time, with Gabriel Kaplan playing the New York coach hired by a small college to produce a winning team, doing so by recruiting a number of eccentric players. Instead of concentrating on the usual story clichés, the movie is content to focus on the players, who are not just funny, but surprisingly well-rounded characters. There's also some great basketball action, with even the predictable final game a lot of fun to watch.
