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!

A blessedly obscure little movie that you won't be finding on Whoopi's career highlights reel.

What saves the film from abomination is the basketball.

The basketball stuff is, as expected, well choreographed and shot.

Whoopi Goldberg se esforça ao máximo para prender a atenção do espectador, mas o roteiro (escrito por seis pessoas!) anula suas tentativas com uma história previsível e repleta de clichês.

Whoopi Goldberg becomes the coach of the Knicks in this silly and utterly harmless sports comedy. Too bad it just isn't funny.

One of those Whoopi Goldberg movies that makes you wonder about her career sense

Basically moronic Whoopi basketball comedy.

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