No one writes sports comedy like Ron Shelton. He loves examining sports from the inside out - the players playing the sport, not from the outside in - the sport as played by the players. The best comedy comes from observing human nature and behavior. Shelton is a master at this. He's also terrific at making the male friendships in his film as deep and platonically romantic as his male-female relationships.I'm trying my hand at a Ron Shelton sports comedy, but for one of the more unlikelier of sports. The idea itself lends itself more to a broader Will Ferrell-type of sports comedy. So, I'm going to try to marry the two.
