Title: Eddie
Stars: Whoopi Goldberg, Frank Langella
Genre: Comedy
Released: May 1996
My Rating: 4 of 5
My Review: Eddie is the ultimate fan, her life revolves around the New York Knicks basketball team even though they are having a bad losing streak. The team has a new owner who wants them to put on a show which will make him more money as the stands fill. A chance encounter leads him to find Eddie (Whoopi Goldberg). In a strange twist she becomes the head coach of the team. Through trial and error (and a little help from a team member) she realizes what she needs to do in order to get them to play as a team and stop acting like super stars. She finally gets them working together and winning games when he finds out the new owner is planning on selling the team and moving it to St. Louis. Eddie and the fans aren’t having that as they fight back and win.
Personal Note: Alot of people didn’t feel the movie was that good, however, I thought it was a good motivational movie that points out that you can lose sight of the important things in life.
