Pool fans will be in seventh heaven here, with Whoopi Goldberg taking to the baize in a romantic comedy about a smart-mouthed single mother trying to keep her teenage daughter in the style to which she's become accustomed by re-establishing her reputation as 'Queen of the Nine-Ball'. NYPD Blue's Dennis Franz also scores as a fast-talking promoter, but Whoopi is more or less the whole show, shoring up a thoroughly routine script with a string of often amusing one-liners. The pool sequences are well enough staged, but Dorian Harewood is on the dull side as Whoopi's love interest and chief rival rolled into one.
