Eddie: Critic Reviews

Ms. Goldberg has everything it takes -- terrific lungs, endless wisecracks, that ear-to-ear grin -- to play the New York Knicks fan who is the star of this Cinderella story.

As long as the hoopsters mix it up with the Whoopster, it's fun. A second-string story keeps interrupting, though.

The next hour or so is filled with the Knicks committing turnovers, until a player tells Eddie they'll keep losing until she takes an interest in their personal lives. Wow!

A wretched roundball comedy.

This sounds like a sensational scenario, but, alas, almost everything in betweenis recycled out of lightweight sports-movie cliches, and the movie never captures the electricity and excitement of the real NBA.

It's a dull, stale affair with suspenseless game sequences, humorless jokes, and pathetic drama.

A blessedly obscure little movie that you won't be finding on Whoopi's career highlights reel.

What saves the film from abomination is the basketball.

The basketball stuff is, as expected, well choreographed and shot.

Whoopi Goldberg se esforca ao maximo para prender a atencao do espectador, mas o roteiro (escrito por seis pessoas!) anula suas tentativas com uma historia previsivel e repleta de cliches.

Whoopi Goldberg becomes the coach of the Knicks in this silly and utterly harmless sports comedy. Too bad it just isn't funny.

One of those Whoopi Goldberg movies that makes you wonder about her career sense
