3/5 Nostalgia
  by W. Landers (Simi Valley, CA USA)
Consider this a Guilty Pleasure favorite. I proudly admit that I watched this movie everytime it came on HBO. OK, so the story might be lame, no Award-Winning acting, consider it a good way to pass the time. A good lazy weekend movie. It recently just came into my head that this was avaiable on DVD! Might as well grab a used copy.

5/5 FOR THE 90's BEACH VOLLEYBALL FAN
  by Victor D. Vidal Santiago (CAGUAS, PR USA)
A MUST HAVE MOVIE FOR THE 90's BEACH VOLLEYBALL FAN. AN ENTERTAINING FAMILY FUTURE STARTING WITH MOST OF THE REAL BEACH VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS CAMEOS, INCLUDING THE KING OF THE BEACH DUO FOR THOSE TIMES, RANDY STOCKLOS AND SINJIN SMITH, AS THE UNBEATABLE RIVAL TEAM.

3/5 NICE, IF UNREMARKABLE
  by Jack Wolf
"Side Out" is a breezy, if unremarkable film. If you love beach volleyball, you'll love this film. The "Rocky" of the sport.

2/5 Happy crap....
  by S. D. Gillette (New Jersey)
This is a pretty bad movie, but if you are in the mood for that, watch Side Out. If you have a hangover on a Sunday afternoon, this movie may fit the bill. The dialogue will make you squirm, and then crack up. The movie isn't mean-spirited, just painfully cheesy. Nothing happens in the flick that you wouldn't expect. The best part of the movie is the dialogue. It's priceless!

4/5 An Absolutely Brilliant Piece of Filmmaking
  by (New York, NY United States)
Side Out is just an incredible film. From the moment Monroe Clark steps off the plane from Milwaukee and onto the hot sandy beach volleyball scene, the action just never stops. When Zack Barnes speaks you listen. Peter Horton's finest hour. C. Thomas Howell's career had nowhere to go but, downhill from here. How he got sunbbed by the Academny, I will never know. This is just a true classic and must have for any respectable movie collector.
