I go for the Milwalkie Bucks myself but I used to go for the Celtics... Welcome to my review on a very underrated movie. Celtic Pride was released in the fun year of 1996. It stars Daniel Stern, Dan Akroyd and Damon Wayons. Now, Daniel Stern is an extraordinarily funny actor and a great one in retrospective. Dan Akroyd is also an awesome actor who actually signed my DVD of this film when he was on a world tour. The film is very funny and the comedic acting is legendary. I think anyone who's seen this film probably disagrees with the 5.1. I rate this film a 7.2 for its memorable style and character which is hard to find in movies these days. I definitely recommend having this film in your collection as you can watch it over and over again. Click if this review was useful to you if you go for the Milwalkie Bucks. If not that, I go for the Green bay Packers in the N.F.L, San Jose Sharks in the N.H.L and mildly follow the A.F.L, my team there are the Fremantle Dockers... And so, be sure to check out my upcoming reviews for anticipated films like The Amazing Spiderman 2, Godzilla, X Men IV, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, The Hobbit part 3 and more!

1st, everyone keeps dissing the Celtic Pride film. I think the movie was a 3 1/2 out of 5 stars. I am a Boston fan but still look at it as if i weren't. What other team has made a movie? Not one, celtics are legendary for there championships over the years. Anyhow Damon Waynes, a (very good actor) did keep the movie funny with his rude comments, and Dan Akyroid and Daniel Stern(very good actors) did there part to play the role of washed up, lazy, full time sports fans dedicated to the game. The movie however no one wanted to see which makes me ponder would people wanna see it if the movie was about another team. My friend made fun of it, but then accually watched it and said "that movies wasn't bad at all" he laughed so many times. Its a good comedy, give the movie a chance, don't hate... on something great... I give my love to the director, he took a chance, i think he did the best he could for this movie.

A question for all the Americans out there : Do you know who is world snooker champion ? The answer is Mark Williams . I bet you never knew that Do you see the point I`m making ? No one in America is interested in snooker and I doubt if few people outside America are all that interested in basketball so what`s the chances of a comedy featuring The Boston Celtics becoming an international blockbuster ? CELTIC PRIDE has limited international appeal As a Scotsman my interest in basketball matches matches my interest in polo ie zero interest , but that shouldn`t stop me from disliking this movie out of hand . The reason I disliked it was almost entirely down to the performances of Daniel Stern and Dan Akroyd whose idea of comedy acting is to pull funny faces , wave their hands around and talk very loudly and very fast . They`re not funny I`m afraid , and I don`t know if it`s the fault of the script or the director but there`s a somewhat episodic feel in locations. I thought most of the movie was going to take place in a basketball court , but it doesn`t . Then action then moves to a nightclub which led me to believe most of the story was going to take place their , but it doesn`t . The action then moves to a kidnappers house which led me to believe the rest of the story was going to take place there , but it doesn`t which had me noticing that the changes in location had a rather strange feel to them . Maybe it`s just me Don`t watch this unless you`re interested in basketball in general and The Boston Celtics in particular because you`ll find little to enjoy

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** This movie was great. A summary on it would be this: Michael O'Hara(Daniel Stern) and Jimmy Fleherty(Dan Akroyd) are two diehard basketball fans who would do anything to make their Celtics win. One player on the jazz's team Lewis Scott(Damon Wayans) litterallly single handidly tore up the Celtics in the first game. Michael and Jimmy did't actually kidnap Scott. They all got wasted and then they were at Jimmy's crib and Scott was ductaped to the bed. Scott makes some good wisecracks and finally he was let loose. In order, for O'Hara and Flerahty not to go to jail, they had to root for the Jazz. At the end of the game, these two Celtics fans, I think, Actually rooted for the Jazz.
