Did you know
- TriviaJon Stevenson, one of the most successful and respected pros in the game of beach volleyball, was the film's major consultant, volleyball technical adviser and game choreographer, and trained both lead actors, Peter Horton and C. Thomas Howell. Stevenson was a founding member of the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) and won 21 Open titles, served on the AVP Board of Directors from 1984 until 1995, and was elected Player President in 1989. After serving six consecutive terms, he was named Executive Director in 1995. He was a commanding presence on the court despite a frame of merely 6' among much taller players. Sadly, Jon Stevenson passed away in June of 2012.
- GoofsWhen Monroe pops the champagne at the pool while Samantha is swimming in the pool, he pours a glass that is bubbling over the top. A split-second later he walks towards the pool, and the champagne is completely void of bubbles.

This Movie Made Me Believe in God
Seriously, if you want to learn the meaning of life, one man holds the answers - C. Thomas Howell.
His embodiment of Monroe Clark is Christ-like without ever being obvious - we see his divinity in the way he sympathizes with Zach Barnes' financial plight, giving him communion through his generous offer to play volleyball with him. No other living actor could have captured the holiness and generosity of this basketball player turned lawyer turned volleyball pro from Milwaukee with such nuance and yet, such gusto. Holding hands high with Barnes at the end he evoked that incredible sense of pride, pity, and ultimately, hilarity that one gets when one sees a retard so proud of his Special Olympics participation ribbon.
This movie is an absolute delight. Deserving of its place in the canon of all-time great works of art.
