When the sisters are framed for a crime they did not commit, they must pool their resources to clear their names and unmask the real culprit.

Gary The Tennis Coach (15, Optimum Home Entertainment, DVD retail £15.99)

Debuting on DVD, Danny Leiner's comedy is a traditional tale of triumph against adversity, centred on washed up tennis player Gary Houseman (Seann William Scott), who forgets his dreams of sporting glory (instilled in him by his fiercely competitive father) to take a job as a high school janitor. When student coach Lew Tuttle (Randy Quaid) drops dead, Gary has the dubious honour of tutoring a rag tag bunch of tennis misfits, who can barely hit a ball let alone win a match, to victory at the state championships, aided by teacher Steve Peters (AD Miles).
