Must see for hockey fans!

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2014)

I've seen this movie four times, and I'm not even a hockey fan. However, by boyfriend and his brother are and I pulled this out the other night hoping they would like it.
I was happy to see them laughing throughout the entire movie.
Taken at face value Goon is implausible and unrealistic, but at the same time it's too damn entertaining to really care.
The acting is spot on, and the performance by Seann William Scott and Liev Schreiber are fantastic. Scott is perfect in this role of stupid, affable, tough guy drafted into hockey after beating a player while attending a hockey game. The build up to the "big fight" between him and "Ross Rhea" was perfect, and kept the story going and entertaining.
Listen, this is not "fine art" but a comical look at the grit and toughness of one of the best sports in the world.
Recommend if you're looking for something bloody with a lot of adult humor unsuitable for anyone under 18.
