Jack Cooper (Matt LeBlanc) could be a world-class baseball pitcher if he didn't keep buckling under the pressure. He tries to keep his spirits up after he's traded to a minor league team but loses all hope when he discovers that Ed, one of his teammates, is a chimp. Ed used to be the team mascot, but was promoted to third base when the owners realized he had a talent for baseball. As Jack struggles to get used to his new surroundings, Ed helps him regain his confidence on and off the field.

Might tolerably amuse the under-10 crowd, but will prove borderline intolerable for everyone else.

It's forgettable matinee fodder.

The movie is breathtakingly unadventurous, with its cheesy story line, hackneyed ballpark-fable sentiments, "adorable" animal and collection of one-dimensional human nincompoops, headed by Matt LeBlanc

"Ed" is a cute movie about a minor league baseball player who learns about love, respect and self-confidence from his chimpanzee teammate. If you can't get past this premise, don't bother going to see the comedy, featuring "Friends" star Matt LeBlanc.

As it is, the chimp, and the movie, looks pretty phony.

A buddy comedy with big groans, potty humor, and drinking.

If you like monkeys and baseball then you might enjoy it. Not a great family comedy or great comedy in general but Matt LeBlanc does okay at best in his performance. The plot is stupid and there are better baseball movies such as The Sandlot and Rookie of the Year but there is a few laughs here that kids might enjoy.

Really it is not that bad and I like this movie. Critics and everyone that does not like it I can understand why. It is really a harmless movie. The villain woman from Don't tell mom the Babysitter's dead is in it. She was also the mother of an abused child in kindergarten cop. She has been in a lot of critically panned 90s comedies lol. I like all three movies. Jack warden does a good job in this movie as best he can. Joey from friends gets a very easy paycheck for this movie and he does not add much to the movie. The real stars of the movie are the talented actors under the monkey suit. The monkey in the movie fields third base very well as does the actors and they do all the demands of a physical role of playing a monkey. Really amazing work that most fail To realize. Howard the Duck had the talents of Ed Gale. This movie had the talents of Jay Caputo and Denise Cheshire I think. Well great job to them. This movie I've heard described as a bad baseball Movie. I feel that is most inaccurate. It's anything but a bad baseball movie. It is not super in depth but it shows some Cool Baseball scenes and atmosphere and I feel There are other reasons to criticize the movie. It's certainly not a perfect movie but most children would Like it i would suspect
