Ever heard of an English movie who's actually better dubed?

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 1999)

The original English version of Slap Shot is great. For many it is considered a cult clasic. But everyone who doesn't understand French are missing one of the best Hockey movie of all time. It might be a cult clasic in English but in French it's a masterpiece.
First it's about Hockey and we French Canadians are the bigest Hockey fans in the world. Second, we have shall we say a distinct dialec with our French. While most movies are dubed in France this one was actually dubed in Québec Canada. So you have a Hockey movie that's using our expresions so where can you go wrong?
But still like I said it's still good in English. This is the kind of movie that grows on you. After seeing it once you might hate it and think it's the worst movie ever, but just try to watch it a second time and you might change your mind. This is exactly what happened with Siskel and Ebert. They gave it two thumbs down and a few years ago while on the David Letterman show when asked if they ever changed their minds they both replied that yes they did after seeing Slap Shot a second time they both gave it two very big thumbs up.
So judge by yourself. Go rent Slap Shot or better yet rent it a second time and who knows you might end up loving it after all.
