Quote:

Comedy stars Damon Wayans (I'm Gonna Git You Sucka), Dan Aykroyd (The Couch Trip) and Daniel Stern (City Slickers) score big-time laughs in this outrageous comedy about team spirit gone way out-of-bounds! Lewis Scott (Wayans) is a stuck-up superstar who's about to lead his team to the NBA Championship. Jimmy (Aykroyd) and his buddy Mike (Stern) are a pair of die-hard Boston Celtic fans who'd do anything to help their team win... even if it means kidnapping Scott before the final game! But Scott also ends up being a tough competitor off the court too, as he hilariously turns the tables on his dim-witted captors and sends the fast-breaking fun into overtime. Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin) wrote the screenplay based on a story by Apatow and Colin Quinn (TV's Saturday Night Live). The stellar cast includes Gail O Grady (TV's NYPD Blue), Christopher McDonald (Terminal Velocity), Paul Guilfoyle (Cadillac Man) and featuring cameos by sports legends Bill Walton and Deion Sanders.

Special Features:
-Audio Commentary by director Tom DeCerchio
-Original Theatrical Trailer

Niiiiiice. Such an underrated comedy.

Well, all right then.

Fun flick. Nice to see some new catalog flicks... guess I'll have to slow down on d2d conversions now.

This was a fun movie.

Starman22 · 02-09-2018, 11:18 PM

This is the best movie and One day for me

"Hey Scott! I heard Manute Bol is banging your mom!"

Oh hell yeah! Such a great sports comedy! I can retire my own out dvd,

"You hear that Boston? You can kiss my...."

They should do a dark comedy sequel about Isaiah Thomas kidnapping Kyrie Irving.

Since its from Kino the price probably will not drop much.

This is a decent comedy if you have fairly low expectations, but it's not a 20 dollar film. It belongs in the 7-10 dollar section a long with Major Payne, Brewster's Millions, Uncle Buck, The Greg Outdoors and other such titles. And its not even as good as those.

Rewatched it recently. Not good. Seemed like a darker story that was blanded out.

Surprised it is being released.

The movie is a product of its time when movies like The Ref, The Cable Guy, etc.. to a lesser extent Home Alone....And dozens of others came out. The core premise are dark, but are spun into a comedy. Today's sensitivity would see these movies direct to video at most. Celtic Pride is the epitome of hard core fans who lose control.

Agreed. This is a fun title. Christopher McDonald is wasted as Utah's head coach.

Always thought that was hilarious as a kid. Damon Wayans was always one of my favorites back then and enjoyed his tv and movie run through around Bulletproof. Definitely an underrated talent both as a comedic actor and writer, especially during the In Living Color days.

Jennifer Lawrence Fan · 02-13-2018, 11:48 PM

Judd Apatow co-wrote this along with Colin Quinn.

I remember watching this when I was younger on VHS.
