Perfect comedy, excellent play on hockey

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2003)

This movie is a comedic masterpiece. By 1977 I'm sure a lot of people didn't know very much about hockey, and weren't interested, but an Academy Award winning director decided to bring a story to life. Casting Paul Newman as the lead actor in a sports comedy was a good idea, he is really fun to watch in every scene. The movie is outrageously funny, especially when the Hanson brothers show up, and the beginning of matches. I recommend this to everyone, nobody will be disappointed. One of the better comedy movies I've seen in a long time.
