Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)"Double Teamed" is a great movie--and it's a true story, too. =) Based on the real-life stories of Heather and Heidi Burge, this film follows the lives of twin girls with a mother who just wants them to be happy and a father who is willing to do anything to make sure they prepare for their futures, even if it means transferring them to a different school so they can play sports. The girls adjust quickly to their new school. Heidi finds a niche in the drama/acting department, and Heather finds herself a spot on the basketball team (the twins are very tall, so the coach is practically begging them to play, haha). The girls' father literally forces Heidi to quit the school play in which she got one of the lead roles and join the basketball team with Heather. This does not go down well with Heidi, especially since she is not as athletic as her sister and therefore feels overshadowed by Heather. But the girls work at it, and they grow to love playing on the team. There is one setback, though: a rich snob on the team named Nikki who resents Heather and Heidi because they are threatening her position as the "star" of the team. But things do get better throughout the movie....it's just a really good movie and I would definitely recommend it.

Inspired by the true story of WNBA players Heidi and Heather Burge -- also known as the world's tallest twins -- DOUBLE TEAMED is slam dunk fun for everyone! High school freshman Heidi (Annie McElwain, SAVED BY THE BELL: THE NEW CLASS) and her sister Heather (Poppi Monroe, THE LAST DON) may be twins, but they have little in common, except for basketball. Heather dreams of stardom in the WNBA while Heidi dreams of stardom as an actress. With their dad Larry (Nick Searcy, CAST AWAY) and mom Mary (Mackenzie Phillips, SO WEIRD) at odds over their future, it seems no one is playing as a team. Worst of all their jealous teammate Nicky has just revealed a secret that could get them kicked off the team. Clearly, these twins need to get a game plan -- and fast -- because the championship, a scholarship, and their relationship are at stake ... and time is quickly running out!
