Fanatiques des Celtiques

"Celtic Pride" is a silly & wacky sports comedy from the 90's & I've always liked this crazy flick & mainly because of the fun pairing of Dan Aykroyd & Daniel Stern.

Daniel Stern is hilarious & a comic great in his own right with films like his City Slickers 1&2 & Home Alone 1&2 under his belt. Stern plays panicked & stressed so well in his films & stole the show doing this in the hilarious & twisted black comedy "Very Bad Things" & here Stern plays a stressed-out school basketball coach who lives for sports but especially Basketball & is an obsessed Celtics fan & is Boston through & through, along with his equally obsessed best pal (Aykroyd) they hatch a plan to kidnap & restrain their opposing teams best player (Damon Wayans) so their Boston team has a chance of winning the game. It's silly, wacky & alot of fun.

Aykroyd & Stern are hilarious as obsessed fans lol & take it all to another level.

NBA antics & goofy humour all the way but always entertaining.

Aykroyd is hilarious as Stern's best pal & they capture NBA star Wayans & keep him at his apartment that is like a mini museum of sports memorabilia & it's Awesome!!!

Now, Dan Aykroyd is one of my most beloved actors of all time. Aykroyd was probably the first actor i recognised & loved when i was young along with Schwarzenegger, as i constantly watching both Ghostbusters films non-stop, all-the-time & it was Aykroyd's Ray Stantz that i just loved. There's always been something about Aykroyd that i clicked with. Maybe it was his child-like innocence of his characters? Or the way he played the everyman with his natural "dad bod" & nice charm that i related too? Or simply the fact that i grew up watching Many of his hilarious films on video, such as his Ghostbusters 1&2, Trading Places, Dragnet, My Girl, Spies Like Us, The Great Outdoors & Coneheads. Aykroyd's films were in constant rotation growing up & i always thought he came accross much nicer than his pals Chase & Murray (yes I'm a huge fan of both) but Aykroyd always had that childish-charm & super smart wit & knowledge & i just dug his ways & still do in 2021!!!

We will never get another Dan Aykroyd.

Celtic Pride is fun with Aykroyd & Stern bringing the chemistry & Daman Wayans (The Last Boyscout, Mo Money) is also good fun here as the captured NBA player & he turns the tables & causes plenty of craziness with his captors. This will probably never be considered a "CLASSIC" comedy or even a "Cult Classic" but i grew up through the 90's & watched this lots on video, so i have a soft spot for it.

Hey it's still a Decent comedy & light entertainment.

Two die-hard Boston Celtic fans go out of their way to mess up the star player before game 7 of the Finals, and then accidently kidnap him. Not deep, but it doesn't have to be.

A movie that a good sports fan would find as humorous, but a movie fan would only find forgetable. Akroyd, Stern, and Wayans all turn in entertaining performances, but the true star of the movie is....

Christopher McDonald. He made me laugh my head off with the "Uhhhhhhh I hate my life" line. Akroyd doing the "Shakacon" thing was hillarious, as was his dream.

Overall, it was enjoyable, but proceed with caution.

Sometime we need to a movie where the only object is spend 90 minutes in totally unengagement and funny. This is the case of `Celtic Pride' a movie purely comic, where the laughter have a principal character in that. The story is that two friends Mike(Daniel Stern) and Jimmy(Dan Aykroyd) fans of the league Boston Celtic abduct a players of the against league for allow of them Boston the victory. All of that accompany a electric lyric `Play the Funky music' and a lot of laughter and hilarious also thanks to two great comedy actors : Stern and Aykroyd that succeeded to create a wonderful odd couple with a harmony truly surprising and funny, but two professional comic actors this is that who wait you, complete the cast a justly arrogant and disagreeable Damon Waynes in the character of the basketball players abducted. For all people that want laughter without thinks. My rate is 6.

i really like this movie. it's funny,and very entertaining. it was trashed by critics,but who cares it's good! i watch it very often,and never really get tired of it. some of the wisecracks wayans' makes at stern,and aykroyd are very funny. it's just a very fun movie! i give celtic pride *** out of ****

1st, everyone keeps dissing the Celtic Pride film. I think the movie was a 3 1/2 out of 5 stars. I am a Boston fan but still look at it as if i weren't. What other team has made a movie? Not one, celtics are legendary for there championships over the years. Anyhow Damon Waynes, a (very good actor) did keep the movie funny with his rude comments, and Dan Akyroid and Daniel Stern(very good actors) did there part to play the role of washed up, lazy, full time sports fans dedicated to the game. The movie however no one wanted to see which makes me ponder would people wanna see it if the movie was about another team. My friend made fun of it, but then accually watched it and said "that movies wasn't bad at all" he laughed so many times. Its a good comedy, give the movie a chance, don't hate... on something great... I give my love to the director, he took a chance, i think he did the best he could for this movie.
