Classic 80's style

"I can't believe I'm reviewing this, but after seeing it again after so many years it just struck me......eeeekkk! It is one of the quintessential 80's films but was released in 1990. Oh and it's all their, bad hair, bad clothes, bad sayings, bad music. And of course set at the beach, there is a lot of skin. It's actually not a bad story, C. Thomas Howell plays a wannabe lawyer out in California for the summer working for his uncle. On his first assignment, giving eviction notices, he meets Peter Horton (from beloved "thirtysomething" fame) and they become volleyball partners in the big tournament. It sounds bizarre but works as only those '80s movies can. Courtney Thorne-Smith and Harley Jane Kozak support the cast, as does Terry Kiser who plays another Bernie but doesn't get killed this time! Oh what fun and pain at the same time to watch this movie and remember that this is what it used to be like back in the 80's! So now I've written the review, and if you come across Side Out in the video store it won't disappoint."

On a scale of 1 to Volley Ball movie, this is a 10!

"Peter Horton and the delicious C. Thomas Howell have chemistry oozing from every orifice. I've probably seen every beach volley ball movie ever made and this is far and away my favorite. Hey, has anyone ever seen Soulman? Wow, I really just can't get enough C. Thomas...Sensational!"

Full of Spalding tatoos and downright great music

"Side Out is a perfect example of how acting alone doesn't make a movie good. Side Out shows that a movie can survive through decades alone; by having good plot and intensifying action, that is accompanied by awseome music that seems to fit the occuring event or mood just so perfectly."

Sorry guys, my mistake!

"I was browsing Amazon for Courtney Thorne-Smith memorabilia and this movie came up and somehow my brain put the title together with Courtney and I ended up thinking this movie was called SideB00b. I got really excited for just a second but then calmed down upon realizing my mistake. Still, it's not a bad idea for a Courtney Thorne-Smith movie, and if she included a BRIEF cameo by her According to Jim co-star, James Melville Belushi, then the title could have a clever dual meaning. Come on Hollywood, we know you got at least one more good movie left in ya!"
