simple minded Goon is entertaining, mindless fare

Rating: Null/10 (10 December 2013)

There's no deep thoughts about fighting or it's role in hockey. There's no deep psychological study of the goon and his motivations for punching another man for a living. this is light hearted comedic film making - hockey style.
Sean William Scott plays Glatt, a big hearted, strong fisted, weak brained individual. He's not the sharpest guy around but he's got a lot of good qualities including a fierce loyalty and two fists that can do a lot of damage. He loves his role as the enforcer on the team and he loves being part of the collective. His infectious enthusiasm wears off on his teammates and in the end, they stop short of a magical Hollywood ending - but it's a good one for Glatt and his mates.
7/10
