Edwina "Eddie" Franklin (Whoopi Goldberg) is a New York City limousine driver and a fanatical follower of the New York Knicks professional basketball team. The team is struggling with a mediocre record when, in mid-season, "Wild Bill" Burgess (Frank Langella), the new owner, as a public relations gimmick, stages an "honorary coach" contest, which Eddie wins. The fans love it, so "Wild Bill" fires the coach and hires her. She takes the bunch of overpaid prima donnas that make up the team and turns them around. But the owner hopes to move the team, now the darling of the New York City fans, to St. Louis. He may own the team, but it belongs to the city and the fans.

Movie Reviews

Time Out - 9/10 by Charlotte O'SullivanWhat saves the film from abomination is the basketball.
Cinema em Cena - 8/10 by Pablo VillaçaWhoopi Goldberg se esforça ao máximo para prender a atenção do espectador, mas o roteiro (escrito por seis pessoas!) anula suas tentativas com uma história previsível e repleta de clichês.
SPLICEDWire - 6/10 by Rob BlackwelderEddie certainly would have been a mess without Goldberg to add an unexpected feminine view. It probably would have been a failure, too because she's the only thing drawing women to this sports picture.
Washington Post - 5/10 by Bruce WalkerThe next hour or so is filled with the Knicks committing turnovers, until a player tells Eddie they'll keep losing until she takes an interest in their personal lives. Wow!
The Virginian-Pilot - 5/10 by Mal VincentEven with many fouls, Whoopi's film still is entertaining.
Chicago Sun-Times - 4/10 by Roger EbertThis sounds like a sensational scenario, but, alas, almost everything in betweenis recycled out of lightweight sports-movie cliches, and the movie never captures the electricity and excitement of the real NBA.
New York Times - 4/10 by Janet MaslinMs. Goldberg has everything it takes -- terrific lungs, endless wisecracks, that ear-to-ear grin -- to play the New York Knicks fan who is the star of this Cinderella story.
USA Today - 3/10 by Mike ClarkAs long as the hoopsters mix it up with the Whoopster, it's fun. A second-string story keeps interrupting, though.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 1/10 by Scott RenshawIt's a movie that makes you feel cheated and offended, because someone came up with a poster and a marketing plan to which they had to attach an actual movie, and you had the nerve to believe it was going to be a comedy.
Austin Chronicle - 0/10 by Marc SavlovEven cameos from such NYC luminaries as Ed Koch, Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump, Sirajul & Mujibar, and appearances from NBA legends Walt Frazier, Rodman, the Spurs, Kings, and Pacers can't save this foul dog. And no Billy Barty, to boot.
