Movie Review: Goon
 

There are plenty of classic sports movies. Rudy, Field of Dreams, Hoosiers and Rocky are some of the best of all-time. When it comes to hockey movies, none have been very successful. Perhaps the hockey movie with the highest accolades is Miracle, but the best “hockey” movie ever made is Slapshot. The biggest challenge in making a hockey movie is the audience; do you make it for hockey fans, or movie fans?

No Spoilers included!
 

I was very mindful to not give anything away that was was not basically in the trailer. My review is a safe read, no Darth Vader is Lukes dad, no crying game chick is a man spoilers!
To answer your question tho, yes Seann William Scott was brilliant!

Darth Vader is Luke's Dad?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOO! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!

I saw it and liked it. Sort of a guilty pleasure but there were some hysterical lines in it. Definitely not towards the top of the hockey movie chain though. Slap Shot, Youngblood, Mystery Alaska and Miracle are still tops. I'd even add Rocket, Net Worth, Mighty Ducks and the Don Cherry Story ahead of it on the list. Worth seeing though for the humor.

I saw it yesterday and it was a lot better than I expected. We all understand why enforcers exist but it was a fresh point of view watching from their prospective. It wasn't a bad guy movie compared the alternatives at the theatre right now.

I've been waiting to watch it myself, good to hear that its a good watch, I don't expect it to be a masterpiece but I wouldn't really call Slapshot a masterpiece either but I still love that movie. I think my favorite hockey movie is still The Rocket though, great flic

watched it tonight actually, its a little predictable and by the numbers but enjoyable nonetheless, definitely worth checking out if you love hockey :)

Big fan, have seen it 3 times now. Definitely predictable, but there are some great hockey tropes and interesting easter eggs for hardcore fans in there. Real enjoyable. Also a tremendous movie to throw on while you down a few beers and get ready to go to a game.

yeah I thought it was funny that Ricky from Trailer Park Boys had a brief cameo in it
