Description:
Crowd-pleasing Hollywood stars score big-time laughs in this outrageous comedy about team spirit gone way out-of-bounds! Lewis Scott (Damon Wayans -- MAJOR PAYNE, TV's MY WIFE AND KIDS) is a stuck-up superstar who's about to lead his team to the NBA Championship. Jimmy (Dan Aykroyd -- EVOLUTION, GROSSE POINTE BLANK) and his buddy Mike (Daniel Stern -- HOME ALONE, CITY SLICKERS) are a pair of die-hard basketball fans who'd do anything to help their team win ... even if it means kidnapping Scott before the final game! But when Scott ends up being a tough competitor off the court, too, he hilariously turns the tables on his dim-witted captors and sends the fast-breaking fun into overtime!

I can understand why alot of people would not like this movie if you are not a Huge fan of sports. I believe casual fans of sports may not understand the jokes in this movie either. I am a huge sports fan however and i love this movie. I can watch this movie over and over and never get tired of. Oh yeah, I hate the Celtics
Rating: - Funny
This is such a great movie. I just bought it off amazon like 2 days ago. It is about two guys who are obsessed with there team. The Boston Celtics. You will watch as one of there marriges is failing and the other feels like he has done nothing in life. Then they are in a bar and see a player from another team. They get him drunk and kidnap him. Then he wakes up and they tell him what they did. They try to keep him from getting away. It is well written and the cast is great. This movie will ... Read More
Rating:  - Some laughs here and there
The idea of having Stern's and Akroyd's characters (Mike and Jimmy) cheer for the opposing team on the Celtic's side even after the game was weird. I'm surprised they didn't start a mad rush from the audience as that would've seemed more practical than what did happen.
Deion Sanders's appearance is funny even though very short, and Akroyd and Stern make the story work well, but it's the story itself that just isn't up to it.
When Akroyd's character, Jimmy, won a half court ... Read More
Rating: - Nice comedy, but no special features on the DVD
I'm a fan of Damon Wayans, so I mostly got this DVD because of him. It always cracks me up when Lewis Scott (Damon Wayans) says something to Jimmy (Dan Aykroyd) and Mike (Daniel Stern) - I mean the words he uses to refer to them... When Mike vents his emotions it ends up harmful for those around him (either physically or mentally) and hilarious for the audience. I especially like the stuff he says to Scott's coach and the reactions of the coach himself.
There's plenty of opportunities to have ... Read More
Rating: - Funny, Enjoyable Basketball Flick
Hmmm. I don't understand the negative reviews of this film. I thought it was funny and good entertainment. I give it three and one-half stars, especially if one loves sports.
The Utah Jazz meet the Boston Celtics in the final two games of a fictitious NBA championship series. Two Celtics fans who live and die with their beloved team are at the game, and get a bit more involved in the outcome of the series than most fans would, that's for sure. I laughed out loud a number of times watching ... Read More
