Looks like we are going to get tennis lessons this summer everyone.
If Sony is gambling correctly, this purchase may result in a Judd Apatow crowd pleaser and if they get it wrong – think of that ping-pong forgettable flick from last year. Formerly going by the title of Gary the Tennis Coach, Sony Pictures Entertainment picked up North American rights to Danny Leiner’s indie comedy Balls Out: The Gary Houseman Story.
Written by Andy Stock and Rick Stempson, this
centers on an overzealous high school janitor (Scott -see spitting image of Aaron Eckhart above) who takes on the
task of coaching a group of lovable misfits to the Nebraska state
championship, overcoming their motley backgrounds in the process.
