Poorly written and directed ... macho morons ogling good looking women and making lewd and rude comments doesn't a film make ... anyone dumb enough to bet on sports deserves what they get ... i gave this rating for the women that had to endure all the insults

Writing and acting: Double after center fielder dropped the ball; Pretty girls: Home run!

Tarah DeSpain as Holly is quite intelligent in addition to looking good. Most of the time she doesn't try to look hot. Holly is an athlete, after all. But when she tries, she looks amazing.

Rob Cesterino as Big Wave Dave (hey, I remember a TV series about him, or at least someone with that name) stands out. His radio skills are worthy of the station so far to the left on the AM dial real radios don't have the frequency

We're not here for the acting, but I guess it's okay. What is most important is how the girls look in those really short shorts. And less, when the situation calls for it. Plus there's plenty of humor.

About halfway through the movie the girls are on the beach in bikinis. There are cameras, so they must be at work. Although a Hornets calendar is mentioned, so it's not clear whether they are doing their actual jobs. It doesn't matter. The point is the girls are having fun in bikinis. Holly is covered up more, but she still looks hot.

Is this family friendly? Far from it. The sound goes out a lot (in the version I saw) and when it does, a character's mouth is obscured. I already mentioned the radio broadcast. In some scenes, very little is left and it's hard to tell what happened. Actually, it's not. But the dialogue is (apparently) unbelievably crude. It's amazing what the macho jerks can get away with.

I hesitate to use the word "music" to describe what I heard a lot of. Many of the songs got repeated a lot. It appears they were targeting the macho jerks like the softball players. Except a lot of the vocalists were female. So maybe women can like that "music" as well. There was music, though. One scene had rock and roll from the era when Elvis first became popular, which resembles what might be called rock in other scenes about as much as these girls resemble Roseanne Barr. There is another scene with a nice acoustic guitar, and one where one of the girls is doing yoga. No, I don't care for that new age mess either. There is also what is called "alternative", which is a style of rock which I think women like.

Overall, I had a good time.
