Celtic Pride

Sports comedy about two obsessive fans of the Boston Celtics who will do anything for their team. Mike O'Hara (Daniel Stern) and Jimmy Flaherty (Dan Aykroyd) are committed basketball fans who want one little thing - for their team to win the NBA championships. But when Utah Jazz look set to scupper their chances with their star player, Lewis Scott (Damon Wayans), Mike and Jimmy take matters into their own hands and decide to kidnap the sportsman and hold him hostage - with hilarious results!, Two rabid Boston B-ball fans go over the edge and kidnap the star player of the Utah Jazz during the NBA playoffs in this goofy sports comedy starring veteran comic actors Dan Aykroyd, Damon Wayans and Daniel Stern. Aykroyd and Stern play the dim-bulbed fans, high school gym teacher Mike O'Hara, whose passion for basketball is destroying his marriage and Jimmy Flaherty, the owner of a plumbing business. Tired of watching the Celtics lose to the Utah Jazz during the playoffs, they go into an upscale bar one night and see Utah's superstar player/tv commercial pitchman Lewis Scott (Wayans). Scott is a class A arrogant hot dogger with a bad attitude (deep down he cares more for money than the sport that made him rich), making him a favorite with fans. Inspiration strikes Flaherty and O'Hara who proceed to cozy up to Scott and get him blind drunk. They too get ripped and the next morning the hung-over duo awaken to a surprise. There in Flaherty's living room sits a bound, gagged and angry Scott, whom they apparently kidnapped the night before. They decide to help their team and not let him go. So begins the bulk of the movie, a verbal, slapstick cat and mouse game between the basketball player and his two bumbling captors.
