Not just a comedy

Rating: 9/10 (14 April 1999)

Leonard Matlin refers to this film as uneven, as he is looking at it only as a broad comedy. More than about hockey, I feel this film addresses the economic changeover from company towns and the old ideas of worker loyalty being rewarded, to cold cost-cutting and downsizing, and how it effects everyone's everyday life. As fitting today as it was over 20 years ago.
