REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., Jan. 4, 2001

This Austin produced comedy is a mockumentary about a former tennis pro/current mobile-home salesman who offers up a Hands-on-a-Hardbody-style challenge: Anyone who can beat him in a tennis match wins a new mobile home. Mr. Sinus Theater 3000 comic Jerm Pollet appears as musical stylist Johnny Awesome. Pollet will also perform live before the show.
