Default 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?

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!

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 own it now and recently watched it for a second time and still enjoyed it thoroughly.
