Stifler in the House
Tennis Magazine wrote:In October, he starts filming Gary the Tennis Coach, in which he plays the title character (he’s also producing the movie). “It’s going to be really raunchy and funny,” Scott said. “Rated R—and then some.” The movie takes place in Lincoln, Nebraska. When asked if there would be any famous cameos, Scott said, “No, it’s not that kind of movie.” Not even Andy Roddick, who was born in Omaha? “It’s too racy,” Scott said, adding that he’s a big A-Rod fan. And Roddick himself is often mistaken for Stifler. Remember Roddick once recounted that he was asked by someone at a Starbucks, “What’s it like to look like someone famous?” And Roddick replied, “Yeah, it’s pretty neat.”
Rotten Tomatoes wrote:Penned by Andy Stock and Rick Stempson, "Tennis Coach" centers on an overzealous high school janitor (Scott) who takes on the task of coaching a group of lovable misfits to the Nebraska state championship, overcoming their motley backgrounds in the process."
Bluecat Screenplay wrote:Where did the story idea for GARY THE TENNIS COACH come from?
Rick works as the assistant men's tennis coach for the University of Nebraska. He's always getting these video tapes from high school players who want to play college tennis for Nebraska. We were bored one night and decided to film a fake application tape to mail to Rick's boss. We got our friend to pretend to be an unusually motivated high school netter. The tape started out normally, but then got more and more bizarre as he filmed himself doing odd exercises and recounted problems he encountered on the Mexican tennis tour. The video started getting passed around and people seemed to get a kick out of it.
Apparently this movie won the 2005 Bluecat Screenplay award.
