SHANKS FOR NOTHING

Imagine a group of characters that combine the worst traits of those in ANIMAL HOUSE and CADDYSHACK, and you have the cast for this comedy. Raymond "Stick" Hart and his pals are a likable group of underachievers whose entire reason for being is playing golf at the world's worst course, Ponky. When Ponky appears to be on the short list of pavement projects, they devise a ridiculously funny scheme to save it. Stephen Hoye is superb as Hart, who not only tells his own story, but that of all the other characters. The language of this tale of frat wannabes can be over the top. Still, getting past that, listeners will be howling over this tale of life on the links. M.T.F. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 07]
