A "Rocky" for Hockey

Rating: 7/10 (31 March 2020)

I don't like sports, especially violent sports like boxing and ice hockey. This movie was highly recommended by a critic so I gave it a look. It's violent, funny, sappy, trite, full of offensive language, and it's lovable. I was upset with the violent scenes and finished the movie emotionally drained by what was depicted -- a hyper-masculine version of what men should be. Still, I liked the movie. You've been warned.
