I can understand why alot of people would not like this movie if you are not a Huge fan of sports. I believe casual fans of sports may not understand the jokes in this movie either. I am a huge sports fan however and i love this movie. I can watch this movie over and over and never get tired of. Oh yeah, I hate the Celtics

This is such a great movie. I just bought it off amazon like 2 days ago. It is about two guys who are obsessed with there team. The Boston Celtics. You will watch as one of there marriges is failing and the other feels like he has done nothing in life. Then they are in a bar and see a player from another team. They get him drunk and kidnap him. Then he wakes up and they tell him what they did. They try to keep him from getting away. It is well written and the cast is great. This movie will probably make anyone laugh time and time again. So I must say stop reading and buy it!
 Some laughs here and there August 6, 2006

The idea of having Stern's and Akroyd's characters (Mike and Jimmy) cheer for the opposing team on the Celtic's side even after the game was weird. I'm surprised they didn't start a mad rush from the audience as that would've seemed more practical than what did happen.
Deion Sanders's appearance is funny even though very short, and Akroyd and Stern make the story work well, but it's the story itself that just isn't up to it.
When Akroyd's character, Jimmy, won a half court shot contest, they didn't show him using the money to pay back his rent and all the money that they supposedly owed the cop. The comedy would've played better that way even though very obvious, but they left that part of the story hanging.
The basketball, the family drama, and the drama between Jimmy and Mike are a riot in a dumb funny kind of way. Lerch and Coach Kimball were funny with Lerch's funny way of talking like a foreigner getting him to sit the bench most of the time, and the coach's attitude about Lewis Scott (Daman Wayans). I wouldn't watch this if you're not a big basketball fan, because you probably wouldn't like it.
Nice comedy, but no special features on the DVD March 27, 2006
Just another buyer
I'm a fan of Damon Wayans, so I mostly got this DVD because of him. It always cracks me up when Lewis Scott (Damon Wayans) says something to Jimmy (Dan Aykroyd) and Mike (Daniel Stern) - I mean the words he uses to refer to them... When Mike vents his emotions it ends up harmful for those around him (either physically or mentally) and hilarious for the audience. I especially like the stuff he says to Scott's coach and the reactions of the coach himself.
There's plenty of opportunities to have a good laugh, so it's a pretty solid comedy.
Generally, I find the idea interesting - it shows how far will these fellows go to help their team win (which obviously provides you with a whole lot of situations to laugh at), at least I fell this way. The question is how far would you go to achieve your goal in life?
As far as the DVD goes, it doesn't have any special features, not even a trailer. This isn't surprising, because I don't think it was intended as a DVD release (I doubt DVD format was out then).
Though the movie deserves between 3 and 4 stars, I'll give the DVD 3 stars for not having ANY special features.
