Christopher Lee plays the president of some fictional college and when the story begins, he demands the Athletic Director reinstate an obnoxious tennis player on the school's team. Why? Well, that's NOT clear. After all, the President wants success and a strong athletics department...but why concentrate on tennis instead of the school's other sports?
As for the obnoxious tennis player, he drinks too much, puts almost zero effort in improving his tennis and is about as likable as herpes. Making him flawed might have worked...making him easy to hate, well, that's a strange decision! What also is strange how despite being completely unlikable, he has a friend who is by his side all the time...which is really tough to believe. Can this thoroughly awful person manage to actually try or care? And, more importantly, can the audience care? The answer clearly is NO.
Despite having a few decent actors in it (Christopher Lee, Richard Roundtree and Mariska Hargitay), the writing is so bad that the film cannot possibly succeed...and, incidentally, it doesn't. Horrible writing make this one a chore to see or finish.
