Mike (Daniel Stern) and Jimmy (Dan Aykroyd) are disconsolate after watching their favorite team, the Boston Celtics, lose a game in the NBA finals. They hatch a far-fetched scheme to sabotage Lewis Scott (Damon Wayans), the star of the opposing team, who is known for his love of nightlife, by getting him very drunk -- and thus too hungover to perform in the next game. After the two inadvertently kidnap the player instead, they dither about whether to release their captive.

An uneven but largely likable basketball-themed comedy.

1/5

This is a bad time for NBA fans in Boston. Just as their beloved Celtics are about to wrap up a dismal season, with nearly 50 losses and no berth in the playoffs, Hollywood comes out with a comedy about the Celtics that's even worse than the team.

3/4

...a high-concept premise that’s employed to perpetually affable (if somewhat forgettable) effect...

Celtic Pride is a basketball comedy the way Fatal Attraction was a dating movie.

1.5/4

Celtic Pride supplies predictably lowbrow yocks for jocks, and its rather disturbing racial implications go entirely unacknowledged.

Hilarious movie. The critics and so called fans who slated this movie can fuck right off.
