The Air Up There
The Air Up There ★★ 1994 (PG)
Assistant basketball coach Jimmy Dolan (Bacon) heads to the African village of Winabi to recruit talented (and tall) Saleh (Maina) to play b-ball in the U.S. But Saleh is next in line to be the tribe's king and doesn't want to leave. Stupid American in foreign country learning from the natives story is lighthearted, but relies heavily on formula—and borders on the stereotypical, though climatic game is a lot of fun. 108m/C VHS, DVD. Kevin Bacon, Charles Gitona Maina, Sean McCann, Dennis Patrick; D: Paul Michael Glaser; W: Max Apple; C: Elliot Davis; M: David Newman.
