User Reviews

Mackenzie's Amazon Daughters

Annie McElwain and Poppi Monroe are a pair of 6'1" high school daughters, fraternal twins that Mackenzie Phillips and Nick Searcy are the proud parents of. Both girls are volleyball players, but when they transfer to a new school for better sports opportunities, coach Joey Mishiyama of the girl's basketball team takes one look at them and he's practically salivating over the prospect of having them play for him.

The problem is that they don't live in the district and their eligibility is in jeopardy. All kinds of games are played and cons used to keep them playing until the end of the season.

Nothing special in this Disney teen film other than the gimmick of the two very tall Amazonian like girls that MacKenzie Phillips bore. But it's pleasant enough viewing.
