Sing becomes the lynchpin of a team playing in a tournament that could net them a $1 million purse, but even with Sing's footwork, beating the steroid-fueled champions will be no easy task.

    I can't believe this movie's been out for so long and I never came across it till now. One of the best slapstick comedies I have ever seen, bar none. I had tears in my eyes for half the movie. Easily worth a rent.
