"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.
