Its great to see a movie about female athletes to show that girls in sports should be taken seriously. Other than that, there is little in this film that should be taken seriously. Even for the Disney channel this movie had amazingly bad acting. I felt like I was watching a high school play at some points.
Annie McElwain and Poppi Monroe are a pair of 6'1" high school daughters, fraternal twins that Mackenzie Phillips and Nick Searcy are the proud parents of. Both girls are volleyball players, but when they transfer to a new school for better sports opportunities, coach Joey Mishiyama of the girl's basketball team takes one look at them and he's practically salivating over the prospect of having them play for him.
The problem is that they don't live in the district and their eligibility is in jeopardy. All kinds of games are played and cons used to keep them playing until the end of the season.
Nothing special in this Disney teen film other than the gimmick of the two very tall Amazonian like girls that MacKenzie Phillips bore. But it's pleasant enough viewing.

The problem with this movie is that the sisters - supposedly twins - look NOTHING alike.
The film is based on the true-life-story of WNBA stars Heather and Heidi Burge, who overcame sexism etc. to accomplish their goal of being basketball players.
The film is okay, and I'm more than pleased that family films can stick to the old formula - no swearing, violence, sex, etc., but a good-natured family film with values - but the film itself is poorly written and acted.
It's good that films like these can still be made, but the problem lies with (a) bad directors, (b) bad scripts, (c) bad actors, and (d) low budgets that would make "The Blair Witch Project" blush.
The fact that Disney will not release films like these into theaters tells us something: they are either too ashamed to release something with actual TASTE, or they are serving to a new generation, THAT THEY CREATED, plain and simple.
Family films used to be good, but since Disney started making "babysitter" films off of classics (i.e. "The Jungle Book 2," "101 Dalmations 2," et cetera...), kids have gotten used to minimum entertainment. They no longer realize what quality films are because CORPORATIONS LIKE DISNEY TAUGHT THEM TO NOT KNOW ANY BETTER. They accept lousy movies because they have been taught to.
Perhaps some day we will see a change, but all I see is continual downfall.
This is the reason I praise movies like "Toy Story" so much - they can stick to the old-fashioned way of entertainment: quality.
As for "Double Teamed"...unfortunately, despite some good qualities, the film just doesn't make it to a high level...

This movie is really good and sends out a good message to kids. I love basketball so I don't know why I wouldn't like this movie but even if you don't like basketball check this movie out. Although it looks like this movie is only about basketball.... the plot is much much more than that! All in All I give it a 9.5/10!
Double Teamed is the true story of two twins named Heather(Poppi Monroe) and Heidi Burge(Annie McElwain) who became basketball players. I think Poppi and Annie did an excellent job portraying the twin sisters. This is one of those disney movies that actually make you think that you can achieve your dreams and become anything you want to be, regardless of the people that stand in your way. I think Double Teamed is a great movie and i've seen it every time it was on televison. I would give Double Teamed 8.5/10

- WissenswertesPoppi Monroe and Annie McElwain both had to wear padding in their shoes to make them appear much taller than everyone else.
- PatzerAt the end of the movie they were playing against each other in the WNBA. In fact, Heidi played in the WNBA in 1997 with the LA Sparks and 1998 with the Washington Mystics, and Heather played in the WBA for the Sacramento Monarchs in 1999. They were never in the league at the same time.
