English Summary:
Eddie is a 1996 comedy film starring Whoopi Goldberg and Frank Langella. The film barely broke even at the box office, grossing $31,387,164 in the US. The film was directed by Steve Rash.
The New York Knicks are also-rans in the NBA, their roster filled with players who either lack talent or are too distracted by off-the-court issues. Nonetheless, limousine driver and rabid fan Edwina "Eddie" Franklin attends every Knicks game in the nosebleed section of Madison Square Garden.
During halftime of a game, Eddie wins a contest to be honorary coach of the Knicks for the second half. She quickly gets on the nerves of head coach John Bailey, whom she had heckled earlier. Eddie's popularity piques the interest of the new Knicks owner, "Wild Bill" Burgess. After he forces Bailey to quit, Burgess names Eddie the new head coach.
Hungarian Summary:
Nemcsak a kosárlabda szerelmesei számára lehet szórakoztató Whoopi Goldberg dinamikus játéka ebben a pattogó komédiában. Edwina - vagyis Eddie - éjjeli taxi-diszpécser, aki kollégáit kosármeccs-közvetítésekkel szórakoztatja. Amióta férje meghalt, egyetlen dolog tölti ki az életét: a New York-i Knicks csapat iránti rajongása. Főnökének nem tetszenek Eddie magánszámai, a kirúgatás lehetősége ott lebeg felette: utcai szolgálatra osztják be. Egy nap éppen a csapat újdonsült tulajdonosát fuvarozza, akinek a mit sem sejtő Eddie lehordja a rosszul szereplő csapatot és a felelőtlen vezetést. Eddie tényleg tudja a megoldást?!
