Take the number 69.....

Rating: 4/10 (23 June 2012)

Not content with his job as a bouncer at a local bar, Doug Glatt dreams of the kind of success enjoyed by minor league hockey goon Ross Rhea.
When a chance encounter with an on-ice thug leads to a bloody fist fight that Doug easily wins, the coach of the Halifax Highlanders sees potential in this man who is only hampered by his lack of any hockey and skating ability.
Standing up to the taunts of the other players, Doug manages to join the team, and with the encouragement of his hockey obsessed best friend quickly becomes a rising star....
Out of all of the actors who were in American Pie, Scott has to be the most successful out of them all. But if he keeps making movies like this, films like Role Models, and Welcome to the jungle will be a thing of the past.
It's not his fault, he's great, as is Schreiber, but the film isn't funny in the slightest,a nd it has this awful cheap feel to it.
Baruchel co-wrote the movie, and it shows, as he has the liveliest part and all of the supposed best lines.
In the end, it all falls flat, and you spend the rest of the film wondering if Kim Coates has has surgery or if Eugene Levy dyes his eyebrows.
There is some sub-plot involving another player and being hit, but it all adds to nothing.
And saying its a true story, is a bit of a cop-out.
Boring and unfunny
