A decent sports comedy

Rating: 7/10 (1 April 2020)

Very solid.
'Goon' makes for a decent sports comedy. It actually keeps good focus on the sporting stuff involved, even if it isn't an important thing in the grand scheme of the film. It's definitely comedy-centric, but it has a bit more to it than what is usual for this genre.
Seann William Scott leads as Doug, a surprisingly nice individual despite the obvious nature of his other antics - you find yourself rooting for him. The rest of the cast aren't anything to write home about, but that's not a big deal as it's just a film to have a laugh with and not take too seriously.
Not sure where they go for the sequel, hopefully it avoids the dreaded 'sequelitis'.
