Title: Immensely enjoyable
Review: The best hockey movie since Slap Shot, Goon is an immensely enjoyable treat. Seann William Scott plays Doug, a dim-witted but kind-hearted bouncer that finds his true calling as an ice hockey enforcer. Soon enough he finds himself in Halifax making a name for himself, eventually earning the love of the crowd, fans, his teammates, and catching the attention of veteran league thug Ross Rhea (Liev Schreiber). In between all that is some hilarious moments and brutal hockey action, all of which gets captured almost perfectly. Jay Baruchel, who co-wrote and co-produced the film, is on board as well as Doug's foul-mouthed friend, who chews every scene he's in with gleeful abandon. For what it's worth it isn't perfect, but Goon delivers the goods for hockey and comedy fans alike. There aren't that many good hockey-related movies out there, which helps make Goon all the sweeter. Check it out, you'll be glad that you did.
