Synopsis

Farm boy Jack Cooper is drafted into the minor league Santa Rosa Rockets as a pitcher because of his rocket arm. He being drafted is despite he not having organized baseball experience at any level. He is nicknamed "Deuce" by his fellow players as the two finger signal is the catcher's sign to throw a curve ball, Coop's favorite and most killer pitch. But in the early going, Coop demonstrates that he chokes under pressure as throwing his famous curve ball usually results in an out-of-the-park home run.

Kirby, the son of the team owner, purchases a chimpanzee as the team mascot, who the team members name Ed Sullivan. The coach, Chubb, "decides" that Ed will room with Coop, a move not without ulterior motives. Ed ends up being an overgrown kid in mentality, which makes him a pain for Coop to manage, leading to one misadventure after another for the pair.

Ed not only is a fan of baseball, but has a rocket arm of his own. As such, Chubb also decides to use Ed as a player at third base, a move which galvanizes the team on their march toward the pennant. But when something happens to Ed, Coop has to try to save him, his friend and roommate, which may jeopardize his major league prospects.

Through it all, Coop begins a romance with his next door neighbor, single mom Lydia, whose precocious adolescent daughter Lizzie, who along with Ed, seems know what's better for Lydia and Coop than they do.

William Rodriguez

5/10

There are moments when the soundtrack feels a bit too on the nose, relying on clichéd musical cues to underscore the emotional beats of the story. It doesn't always feel organic or original.

Mark Harris

4/10

The use of generic, cookie-cutter background music in key moments of the film felt lazy and disconnected from the on-screen action. It failed to enhance the storytelling or engage the audience on a deeper level.

Michelle Martinez

5/10

I appreciate how the music enhances the comedic moments in the film, adding to the overall entertainment value. It definitely helps set the tone for some of the more light-hearted scenes involving Coop and Ed.

Carol Harris

5/10

Overall, the soundtrack of Ed is serviceable, but it doesn't stand out as particularly memorable or innovative. It does its job in supporting the narrative, but it doesn't leave a lasting impression.

I found the soundtrack of Ed to be uninspired and lackluster. The music did not effectively capture the emotions and intensity of the baseball scenes or the character relationships.

Steven Roberts

8/10

The music creates a nostalgic atmosphere, evoking a sense of camaraderie, friendship, and the triumph of teamwork that resonates with the audience long after the movie ends.

Charles Nelson

6/10

However, there were instances where the music felt mismatched with the on-screen action, pulling me out of the moment rather than enhancing it. It seemed like a missed opportunity to elevate certain scenes.

Ashley Robinson

9/10

I was particularly impressed by how the soundtrack seamlessly blends different musical styles to reflect the diverse range of emotions and situations in the movie. From uplifting melodies during the team's victories to poignant themes during moments of struggle, the music truly elevates the storytelling and keeps the audience engaged throughout.

The soundtrack of Ed is a delightful blend of upbeat, feel-good tunes that perfectly capture the lighthearted and comedic tone of the movie.

Deborah Jones

6/10

I would have liked to see more variety in the musical styles and themes explored in the soundtrack. It felt a bit safe and predictable at times, missing an opportunity to really enhance the storytelling.

Michelle Walker

2/10

The overall composition of the soundtrack felt disjointed and inconsistent, with abrupt transitions between scenes that left me feeling disoriented and disconnected from the narrative flow. The lack of cohesion in the musical themes undermined the overall viewing experience for me.

Brian Thomas

5/10

The soundtrack of Ed is a mixed bag for me. Some tracks capture the lighthearted and fun spirit of the movie, while others feel generic and forgettable.

Donna Walker

8/10

Each track in the soundtrack enhances the storytelling, adding depth and emotion to the scenes where Coop, Ed, and the rest of the characters navigate through their misadventures both on and off the baseball field.

Sarah Roberts

5/10

I found the use of classic rock tunes in certain scenes to be a nice touch, adding a nostalgic vibe to the film. It helped create a sense of time and place within the story.
