A Classic

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 1999)

Slapshot is a great film about a minor league hockey team that is loosely based on the early 1970's Philadelphia Flyers "Broad Street bullies" teams. Paul Newman delivers a great performance as the aging captain of a last place broke team that starts to win through intimidation.
This is a very funny but dated movie and the seventies fashions make it even funnier. If you like physical humor this is a must see.
