Seriously Underratted Movie

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2013)

This movie is what comedies used to be. I think the character that Jay Baruchel wrote for himself, threw some people off. It felt like his character's brand of comedy would set the tone for the movie. Rather he became a lovable wild-card that balanced out some of the more serious aspects of the movie. The movie has emotional moments in places you would least expect to find them. I honestly am surprised at the lack of response this film has received. It definitely contains post-millennial humor, but this film resides a class with Jerry Maquire and A League of Their Own.
This is the best sports comedy in the history of the genre. Slap-stick has nothing on Goon. This is the most underrated film in a long time.
