Goon

Finally someone made a hockey flick as enjoyable as slap shot...and dozens of great lines. I'm going to have to watch it a few times to get all of the incidental comments in the background that fly past you every couple seconds. Well done characters and it rides the line between edgey comedy and a warm hearted quirky indie. Sean Scott and Kay Baruchel are always good bit really shine in this. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Had to keep from turning this one off repeatedly. Somehow I made it to the end, perhaps for no other reason than I had paid for it and had nothing better to do. Obnoxious movie with hack premise and every played out hockey cliche known to man. Many have compared it to Slap Shot and even declared it to be superior. I can't even fathom what they are thinking.

Brutal movie! Weird storyline, with goon being mildly ignorant / a little slow. However, the story keeps you intrigued enough due to the "innocent like" lovable character Goon and his misguided attempt at finding his place in the world by sacrificing his body for his team. Not a bad movie for the .99 deal, but would not have liked to pay more than that for the rental.
