This is something I could watch once a year, but I don't really know why. Stern/Aykroyd do a great job as Celtics fanatics and Wayans pulls off a somewhat believable NBA superstar (Kind of a Marbury or Gary Payton-esque player). Anyways, the plot is absurd and direction is weak. Some funny bits of conversation during the hostage holdover at Aykroyd's apartment. Stern is really funny at times with his courtside yelling and intensity. But what a lazy piece of plot this is. How they stretched this to 90 minutes is beyond me. The ending is ridiculously bad with the two mains despite their lifelong commitment to the Celtics, pull for Utah and celebrate with the Jazz as happy ending climactic music plays out! That is awful!!
Overall i'll watch it again because it's a breezy comfort comedy, but it is objectively not a good movie and the ending was poorly conceived.
