Review

In this predictable though amiable sports comedy, Whoopi plays a die-hard New York Knicks fan who becomes the slumping team's head coach. Eddie bears no more originality than similarly themed kids films like Rookie of the Year and Little Big League, and it unfortunately promises more than it can deliver. Whoopi is agreeable and often amusing, but her comic prowess alone cannot keep this comedy courtside. Even a seasoned comic needs more from a script than just the occasional cut-up line. Eddie is strictly for Whoopi fans, who may graciously overlook the Formula 101 story; there are laughs to be had, just don't expect a winning season.
