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. Go to Full Review Peter Stack San Francisco Chronicle 01/01/2000

It's forgettable matinee fodder. Go to Full Review Desson Thomson Washington Post 01/01/2000
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 Go to Full Review Jae-Ha Kim Jae-Ha Kim 07/27/2023
2/4
"Ed" is a cute movie about a minor league baseball player who learns about love, respect and self-confidence from his chimpanzee teammate. If you can't get past this premise, don't bother going to see the comedy, featuring "Friends" star Matt LeBlanc. Go to Full Review Mal Vincent The Virginian-Pilot 02/25/2022

As it is, the chimp, and the movie, looks pretty phony. Go to Full Review Tracy Moore Common Sense Media 01/24/2013
1/5
A buddy comedy with big groans, potty humor, and drinking. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

See more Red T 01/19/2023 Stupid Plot & Dumb Jokes mixed in with some terrible acting by Matt LeBlac makes for a terrible misguided sports comedy. The chimp acting is so stupid and never charming but just makes you want to roll your eyes at the dumb jokes. You never once feel anything for either of them and the love interest feels tacked on ad shes barely in the film until the second half. The editing & pacing are terrible. This film loses focus so often (Is this Ed's film? Jack's Film? A Sports Underdog story?) It never ties all of it together and feels like completely separate stories. This is filled with tons of toilet humor, over the top montages, product placement, and stupid plot points. Stay away from this.
