    Not a spin-off from Braveheart, this is a sports comedy with Daniel Stern and Dan Aykroyd as die-hard fans of the Boston Celtics basketball team. Starting out with some fairly astute knocks at the superstitions that fans have about their teams, director Tom DeCerchio becomes much too heavy-handed once Stern and Aykroyd have kidnapped the arrogant star of their arch-rivals (played by Daman Wayans). The three leads make it a watchable, if not rib-tickling, experience.

  • A comedy, of working-class passion for sporting heroes, which does not travel well.

    Very funny film!

    If you liked last boy scout or more recently his tv series my wife and kids you'll love this film.

    This is a light hearted comedy.

    It's all about how the 2 Celtics fans kidnap the opposition star but then through a series of very silly events become friends.

    I have to say I was quite disappointed with this film. I was expecting Damon Wayans to be hilarious but he was just okay. Dan Aykroyd and the other guy whose name escapes me were just annoying. I know Lewis Scott (Damon Wayans) was meant to be an arrogant and unlikeable character but unfortunately the other two characters weren't very likeable either which meant there was no-one in the movie to root for, feel sympathy for or to simply have a good laugh at. If Lewis Scott had taken over the children's basketball team and become their arrogant and unlikeable coach it might have been funny. Sorry Damon, this was definitely not your best role.
