100 MINUTES | KENDALL SQUARE With his baby fat and jolly Irish mug, former MTV cabbie Donal Logue (The Tao of Steve) is a soft-spoken, lovable, huggable kind of guy. You never expect fireworks from him, and you won’t find any in his directorial debut about two B-list actors (Logue and co-writer Kirk Fox) who learn new-age life lessons in the scarcely compelling world of celebrity tennis tourneys. As in HBO’s Entourage, the bad guy (Jason Isaacs) is an arrogant show-biz prick who gets all the best lines, and the women tend to be strippers or bit players from Baywatch Nights. Logue is much too sincere to push the satire to new heights, and we’re left with a predictable, meandering black comedy with a couple of decent cameos (Paul Rudd, Stephen Dorff) and no love story.
