Leave your thoughts about On the Pole: Eddie Sachs.
| Time OutCharlotte O'SullivanWhat saves the film from abomination is the basketball. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo 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. |
| SPLICEDWireRob 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. |
| The Virginian-PilotMal VincentEven with many fouls, Whoopi's film still is entertaining. |
| Washington PostBruce 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! |
| New York TimesJanet 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. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger 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. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkAs long as the hoopsters mix it up with the Whoopster, it's fun. A second-string story keeps interrupting, though. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsScott 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. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Jeff ViceIf the people responsible for Eddie were trying to make a statement about greed in professional sports with this laughless comedy, they didn't just miss the shot -- they missed the rim, net and backboard completely. |
