Plot Summary
You'll go bananas for baseball's funniest rookie when Friends star Matt LeBlanc teams up with the hottest third baseman this side of Cooperstown: Ed, a chimp who's the reigning champ of friendship and fly balls. Pitcher Jack "Deuce" Cooper (LeBlanc) is in a major bind when he makes it to the minor leagues and gets stage fright on the mound. Back on the farm, he's dynamite; in front of a crowd, he chokes. But good luck swings to the rescue when a hairy hero steps up to the plate! Jack's new teammate - and roommate - is Ed, a chimpanzee who turns out to be a born baseball player, a bona fide matchmaker and the best buddy Jack ever had. With Ed's help, the Santa Rosa Rockets just might clinch the pennant, and Jack will learn that the first rule of the game is to have fun. Jayne Brook, Jack Warden and Bill Cobbs co-star in this hilarious, heartwarming family comedy that hits a home run of laughs with every play.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Mr. LeBlanc ... is so blank that the only impression he makes is of having teeth that are very large and unnaturally white.
Rotten: Why Bill Couturie, who produced the affecting AIDS-quilt docu Common Threads, took on this howler is as mysterious as the theory of evolution. Why LeBlanc gave up hiatus for the role is as mysterious as Hollywood.
Rotten: Might tolerably amuse the under-10 crowd, but will prove borderline intolerable for everyone else.
Rotten: It's forgettable matinee fodder.
