One night, Eddie... Wisecracking Eddie is probably the New York Knicks' biggest fan -- and she's got the mouth to prove it. She's always at the home games, jeering the lowly team's head coach. One night, Eddie wins a contest and is named the team's honorary coach. This leads to bigger and better things, for after the team's owner fires Coach Bailey, he gives the job to Eddie, to her shock and delight. Having no coaching experience, Eddie sets out to earn the respect of her players and transform them into winners. Does she have enough gumption, skill and luck to make her dreams come true? [More]

The 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!

It's a fresh, funny, engaging picture that sets up an arresting situation and then follows through on it realistically.

It's a dull, stale affair with suspenseless game sequences, humorless jokes, and pathetic drama.

Ms. 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.

As long as the hoopsters mix it up with the Whoopster, it's fun. A second-string story keeps interrupting, though.

This 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.
