Funny and Easy to Read
I think it was a really good book because it has good writing, it is funny, and it is easy to read. I hope the author writes another book about Henrietta. I would call the sequel "The Hoboken Chicks' Emergency."

Henrietta and the Police Car
I liked the part when Henrietta was running at the police car. Also, Iliked the part where Henrietta snatched the chip bag and ran away.

Found at last!
I watched this movie in elementary school...Anyone outside of the district never heard of it...it seemed to have fallen off the face of the earth. I'm so excited it's here and now everyone can re-live my school days with the "Hoboken Chicken Emergency!"

What a cute movie!
This movie has such a wonderful title to begin with--a great conversation piece. Although this movie is intended for children, its humorous and heartwarming moments touch everyone.

For the chicken nut in all of us....
I eat a chicken caesar salad every day - high noon. I truly can't get enough. My friends say that I am a true "chicken nut". As you can imagine, I seek out any product with the word chicken in it and buy it. When a friend told me that there was a movie called "The Hoboken Chicken Emergency", I couldn't resist. I bought it, I watched it and I loved it! Who can resist? ... Read more

Average Light-Hearted Film
this was a Light-Hearted Film that was dealing with some subjects but this Film kinda is a lightweight take on TV's "White Shadow".still it's Ok in spots.

BEST BASKETBALL MOVIE EVER
I watched this move last night 3/12/02 on TBS and just had to write a review for this movie. I saw FAST BREAK when I was 10 years old with my dad, it was funny then, and it is still just as funny 22 years later. If you haven't seen this movie see it. Gabe Kaplan takes 4 inner city basketball players to Nevada, and finds one brute football player to make the fifth man, and a bunch of semi ok players, and turns them into one of the powerhouses of the smaller college confrences. The games they play are fun and exciting to watch. One of the funniest parts of the film is the bag of Marijuana and what they have to do with it. The finaly is great with a classic game of David vs Goliath pitting Kaplans team against the mighty, powerful, and nationally ranked Nevada State. A classic movie for any Sports fan, heck any movie fan would love this movie. Rent this movie, or buy this movie. You won't be dissapointed.

A bit dated but still a great movie
I loved this movie when I went to the movie theatre as a kid and saw it in 1979. I hunted around for it and bought it on video. I'll be the first to admit that watching it now it seems a bit hokey, but it's still an enjoyable movie. If you like basketball, and have ever dreamed of being a coach, then I think you'll like this movie.

Fast Break
This light-hearted story uses the basketball court of a small unknown southern university to depict the struggle of a group of talented individuals who come together to escape the poverty which surrounds them and the society which has forgotten them. Taken from the inner-city, each player, some reluctantly, join Gabe Kaplin as he travels across the county in an effort to produce something that the university has never had before, a winning basketball team. Paid only for each game he wins, Kaplin's original motivation seems to be a financial one. As time passes however, this set of individuals learn to overcome their differences to become a winning team... both on and off the court. In short a simplistic, enjoyable, and romantic comedy. ...

No other movie like it!
If you loved Welcome Back Kotter, you'll love this! Gabe Kaplan and his friends are on a quest to get reimbursed for damage to his car from a pothole. Each with a mental illness (none of which is portrayed distastefully), they come up with a brilliantly far-fetched plan to get what they want. This is a really good movie! ... Read more
