Celtic Pride

"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.

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.

This movie is damn funny. I've seen it plenty of times and always laugh my ass off. Akroyd, one of the greatest comedians in film of the 80's and 90's is fantastic. Stern is good as he usually is. Wayns probably steals most of the scenes he's in and you ended up liking him when you don't want to. And on a final note as a sports fan, I hate the Boston Celtics. But I love this movie.

dan aykroyd great as crazed,fanatical celtic fan, teams up with his celtic fan partner daniel stern(of home alone fame). both are crazy,funny, and natural. damon wayans adds to the cast as utah jazz basketball player. street smart comedic wayans(from brooklyn) is just right for the part. deion sanders is great as himself.movie is very entertaining and was underrated. better than the critics said.

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.
