*** This review may contain spoilers ***

There is really not much else to say about it. End of review. Just kidding. To the best of my knowledge, the plot is Aaron broke up with his girlfriend, he's feeling really dejected and his asshole friend Jake tries to "help" him hook up with girls while training for some beach volleyball tournament. The acting in this film is horrific. There was nothing endearing about the main character. I could not understand why any of the women in the film would be even the slightest bit interested in him. Of course, none of their characters were all that developed either. In fact, the only likable person in the whole film was the one guy who shouted a bunch of random obscenities and made obscene gestures. I think it was because the actor was aware of how ridiculous the rest of the film was and just went crazy. It is kind of sad that his character, which was not really much of character, was the only good part in the film. Outside of that, the music was obnoxious. The sound and lighting was pitiful. Basically it was a lot of unattractive people running around in swimsuits and bikinis spouting really forced dialog. Don't see this movie; I am ashamed I sat through this.
