A Basketball movie with an African twist. Kevin Bacon takes the lead role in this hoop story with a unique slant on recruiting. Bacon's character is an arrogant assistant basketball coach that is sent to checkout blue chip prospect in Africa. This is at times a fun and enjoyable sports film that never takes itself too seriously. Bacon is terrific in this film and his comic and dramatic timing are solid. Taking a young man from his home in Africa and depositing him in a collegiate co-ed environment makes for some interesting and comical moments.
