Remember Robby Benson and Annette O'Toole? Probably not on your A-Lister list of must see actors, but they were some fifty (50) years ago. Boy do I feel real old now. But I digress. I may be feeling old, but so does this 1977 basketball sports themed film feel really old and obsolete.
I laughed loudly when I saw the college team that included young Henry Steele (Robby Benson) out on the basketball court in their now Hooters style shorts (LOL) and unlike the physical make up of most college basketball teams of today which are a mix of African Americans this film may have been misrepresented by having only two mean spirited basketball coaches as the teams representatives.
It's a story of a young man from Kansas City assumed to be a farmer but who works hard to prove his worth on and off the court as a good player and a greater individual free thinker.
It was okay but I do believe it has lost its luster and meaning over the past forty six (46) years. I give it a ho hum 5 out of 10 IMDb rating.
