Got the dvd yesterday:

Not a bad little movie to kill a boring afternoon. I knew I recognised the lead actress - she's the chick from That's Incredible! (Ha! Always thought of her as the picture of what American women looked like). I noticed that the camerawork is real tricky in not revealing anything on her even if she was nude in a scene or two. I think the most you can see of her is where the guy barges in when she's taking her shirt off or where she's at the beach and gets her shirt wet, but you can't see much since some of these are literally split second shots. I guess that's part of the idea of the movie - to show just enough to leave the rest to the imagination and with a broad like her, you know what's underneath has to look good

As far as the actual movie goes, it is cheezy as hell. It looks like a really long after-school special of yore (it's 1hr and 42mins! This movie could've easily been 80 minutes by cutting some of the excess crap). If you're looking for an inspirational sports movie, I can name twenty of them that are far - faaaaar - better than this one, but this movie isn't really about the sport. It exploits the idea of the older woman-younger guy relationship since about half the movie is spent on him and her going sneaking around, flirting, and getting it on. With the recent cases of English teachers "abusing" their students, this one has to be watched completely tongue-in-cheek
