Comedy superstar Whoopi Goldberg ('Sister Act I & II') scores big time hooping it up in the hilarious hit 'Eddie'. She's Edwina Franklin -- a die-hard basketball fan with a slammin' sense of humor -- who shocks everyone when she wins a half-time contest that leads to the head coaching job for the New York Knicks! With the outrageous Dennis Rodman and dozens of other real-life NBA celebrities adding to the courtside comedy, Eddie sets out to turn the hapless Knicks back into championship contenders! It's not going to be easy...but it's definitely going to be fun -- as Whoopi does what she does best -- delivier nonstop laughs and surefire entertainment!
Synopsis: Eddie is a New York limo driver and a fanatical follower of the New York Knicks professional basketball team. The team is struggling with a mediocre record when, in mid-season, "Wild Bill" Burgess, the new owner, as a public relations gimmick, stages an 'honorary coach' contest, which Eddie wins. The fans love it, so "Wild Bill" fires the coach and hires her. She takes the bunch of overpaid prima donnas that make up the team and turns them around. But the owner hopes to move the team, now the darling of the New York fans, to St. Louis. He may OWN the team, but it BELONGS to the city and the fans!
