An unlikely basketball team of unappreciated middle-aged Texas women, all former high school champs, challenge the current arrogant high school girls' state champs to a series of games to raise money for breast cancer prevention. Sparks fly as these marginalized women go to comic extremes to prove themselves on and off the court, and become a national media sensation.

Everyone thought their glory days were over. Everyone thought wrong.
Saw this last night at the USA Film Festival in Dallas. Wasn't aware of
the director's background until she was introduced before the viewing.
But she is impressive! The PSA encouraging women to get their annual
mammogram is really funny as is the movie. The whole theater laughed
and actually cheered during the basketball game sequences. My husband
had to shush me when I kept cheering the great shots made by the Hot
Flashes. These five women put in lots of hard work to become so
proficient on the court, although there was probably a lot of footage
left on the editing room floor. If it were not for a brief "sex" scene
and the hilarious off color jokes, I would love to take my 11 year old
granddaughter to see this to encourage her budding career!
