Celtic Pride is a good example of a movie that is doomed to go straight to video and cable. Although it did play in selected theaters, the public wasn't aware of the movie until it found itself on the shelves at the local video store. The idea about the Boston Celtics and the Garden is great. Then again, the idea alone is not going to carry a movie. Damon Wayans, Daniel Stern and Dan Aykroyd star in a movie that is only half funny. To say this is a great comedy is a mouthful. A nice movie with some laughs, sure, but overall, the movie falls short for anything timeless. Stern and Aykroyd are good actors but are not stars. They alone can not carry a film. While Wayans is one of the only funny things about the movie, the story fails to have him as a major part to the story. Stern and Aykroyd are good supporting actors when they team up with other actor like Billy Crystal and Chevy Chase. Alone, or even together, they do not have the chemistry that makes comedy teams. A nice little movie that can be found in the bargain bin and the video store or on cable television at 2 o'clock in the morning.
