If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Celtic pride: I think that the tittle means everything about the film. Two Boston Celtic fans doing what ever it takes for their teem to win. Even if it means kidnapping the enemy. This movie is for Celtic fans especially. Lary Bird, Robert Parish, Kevin Mchale, Dennis Johnson, and Danny Ainge the best starting 5 that was ever put together are not it but it's still a good representation of die hard Celtic fans. Dan Aykroyd is the man possibly the best comedian that ever lived. It goes back to 1975 on Saturday Nigt Live in its early prime years Elwood Blues, Mr. Conehead, Fred Garvmen Male prostitute, and more. on the show e=h e proved he was the funniest man of the 70's, 80's and 90's He also made a good New England sports fans Celtics and Bruins, and with his awesome voices he does an awesome imitation of Marv Albert. This is a movie for a New England comedy fan.

Dan Ackroyd and Daniel Stern are two die-hard Celtic fans. When their superstitions begin to fail and the Celtics lose, they devise a plan to kidnap the star player of the Utah Jazz (Damon Wayans). Then it's hi-jinx of an unprecedented proportion. No, that's a lie... it's just another bad film.Daniel Stern has never been a strong actor. He's still best known as the guy from "Home Alone" (besides Joe Pesci) who gets the tar beat out of him. He will never live that down, especially making disposable films like this.Dan Ackroyd is hit and miss, making some brilliant films ("Ghostbusters", "Gross Pointe Blank") and some really stupid films ("Coneheads"). This one is a miss. Maybe in Canada this sort of thing passes as comedy, but where I come from this is the equivalent of a producer flushes a few million dollars down a toilet after lighting it on fire.And Mr. Wayans... with a long track record of making horrible films that are supposed to appeal to the youth market, particularly in the urban sector. You might impress teenage girls with a serious drug habit and failing grades in English, but you're not convincing me. I would be hard pressed to find one Wayns film that I could actually consider pretty decent.That's all you need to know about this movie: it has these guys. If you agree with my opinion of them, you'll agree the movie is a waste of time. If you think I'm being too harsh, give the movie a chance. But friends shouldn't make friends watch "Celtic Pride". It's so much worse than "Juwanna Mann".

A question for all the Americans out there : Do you know who is world snooker champion ? The answer is Mark Williams . I bet you never knew that
Do you see the point I`m making ? No one in America is interested in snooker and I doubt if few people outside America are all that interested in basketball so what`s the chances of a comedy featuring The Boston Celtics becoming an international blockbuster ? CELTIC PRIDE has limited international appeal As a Scotsman my interest in basketball matches matches my interest in polo ie zero interest , but that shouldn`t stop me from disliking this movie out of hand . The reason I disliked it was almost entirely down to the performances of Daniel Stern and Dan Akroyd whose idea of comedy acting is to pull funny faces , wave their hands around and talk very loudly and very fast . They`re not funny I`m afraid , and I don`t know if it`s the fault of the script or the director but there`s a somewhat episodic feel in locations. I thought most of the movie was going to take place in a basketball court , but it doesn`t . Then action then moves to a nightclub which led me to believe most of the story was going to take place their , but it doesn`t . The action then moves to a kidnappers house which led me to believe the rest of the story was going to take place there , but it doesn`t which had me noticing that the changes in location had a rather strange feel to them . Maybe it`s just me Don`t watch this unless you`re interested in basketball in general and The Boston Celtics in particular because you`ll find little to enjoy

The epitomization of this movie has roots that predate the meaning of the word "suck". Its unbelievable that there are grown men with supposed educational degrees out there that think the simplest plot synopsis of this movie can actually fly. Bring your barf suppresant and thank me later.
This woof of a movie presents dan aykroyd and daniel stern who could shoot their agents and rightfully receive congressional medals of honor. Even damon wayans, the least antagonistic ingredient in this ghastly contrived slop, doesnt deserve the painful placement of hackened actor turned hero in the end.There is no simply no reason for anyone who isnt under the tutelage of leopold von sacher-masoch to view this movie. If you havent seen this movie, consider yourself blessed and depart yourself forever from it.A negative 5 stars.
