Rating: 8/10 (12 June 2014)

First of all, I'd like to say that I'm really happy Sean William Scott can be in a movie where he isn't an dumb asshole douche bag. I feel like he's type-casted as such way too often, so it was great to see him as a big softie with a heart of gold. I think he was perfect for the role of Doug Glatt and his acting looked effortless.
As a hockey fan, this was a really fun movie to watch, even if some of the plays couldn't actually happen in real life. (It's called suspending your disbelief, and if you're going to nit-pick every little thing then you're never going to enjoy anything ever). I liked the different personalities of the players and the way that they did (or didn't) get along. The dialog and acting flowed well and it was overall a joy to sit through.
I think my favorite scene though had nothing actually to do with hockey. It's when Doug and Eva just get together and what could have been a run-of-the-mill, shove-it-in-the-movie-because- why-not sex scene is actually a very sweet scene between Scott and Allison Pill. The two of them are just lying in bed together, cuddling. It's a very down to earth scene and it made me smile without trying.
Overall the message in this movie is nice one. Work hard and be kind to everyone, even if they're not as nice to you. Eventually your efforts will pay off in a big way.
