THE NEWEST COACH IN THE NBA HAS GOT THE KNICKS RIGHT WHERE SHE WANTS THEM.Whoopi Goldberg plays a loudmouthed, obsessive fan of the New York Knicks who wins a contest to coach the team. She soon finds that handling players is tough, fans are tough, owners are tough, and so on, but she’s big enough to conquer them all with determination, smarts, and personality. The first half of the film is pretty cute as Goldberg’s character makes the jump from opinionated spectator to the gal in the hot seat. But everything derails in the second half, which is mostly an op-ed piece about keeping pro-ball teams from moving out of their cities. –Tom Keogh

Manhattan limousine driver Edwina “Eddie” Franklin lives and breathes basketball. Her world revolves around Madison Square Garden, home of her beloved, albeit in last place, New York Knicks. She knows all there is to know about the team. She knows the players. She knows the coaches. She knows every statistic in the book. But what she never could have imagined is that hitting a free throw during a half-time contest would completely change her life. Whoopi does it once again. Eddie is hilarious, a truly great movie.

Like comedy, basketball and drama? Like to laugh, see the soft side of a coach as well as seeing the bad guys lose? Buy this film and you’ll get all of this and more. It’s a great vehicle for the talents of Whoopie and a few cameos of some players[I believe]. Great entertainment for all.
