Movie Info

Jack Cooper (Matt LeBlanc) could be a world-class baseball pitcher if he didn't keep buckling under the pressure. He tries to keep his spirits up after he's traded to a minor league team but loses all hope when he discovers that Ed, one of his teammates, is a chimp. Ed used to be the team mascot, but was promoted to third base when the owners realized he had a talent for baseball. As Jack struggles to get used to his new surroundings, Ed helps him regain his confidence on and off the field.

Might tolerably amuse the under-10 crowd, but will prove borderline intolerable for everyone else.

It's forgettable matinee fodder.

Mr. LeBlanc ... is so blank that the only impression he makes is of having teeth that are very large and unnaturally white.

Stephen Holden
New York Times
The movie is breathtakingly unadventurous, with its cheesy story line, hackneyed ballpark-fable sentiments, "adorable" animal and collection of one-dimensional human nincompoops, headed by Matt LeBlanc

Why Bill Couturie, who produced the affecting AIDS-quilt docu Common Threads, took on this howler is as mysterious as the theory of evolution. Why LeBlanc gave up hiatus for the role is as mysterious as Hollywood.

Entertainment Weekly
A buddy comedy with big groans, potty humor, and drinking.

A monkey playing baseball, what could be cuter? In the case of Bill Couturi's Ed, you could slap Chunk from The Goonies in in some Victoria's Secret lingerie and you'd have something more attractive.

Some would say that kids may like it, but kids enjoy eating packets of sugar - that's no reason to encourage it.

Audience Reviews for Ed

Jun 29, 2008

Ed is not a bad family movie. If you have little kids or are just really bored and are looking for a quick laugh this movie may do it for you. The lines are cheesy, the plot is even cheesier, and it's more then unrealistic. But it does deliver some funny parts as a man embraces a Chimpanzee as not only a teammate but as a new best friend.

Amazing entertaining comedy of a baseball-playing chimp who joins for the demoralised minor league team. More hilarious.
