Sometimes Nostalgia isn't so bad. Normally that's about the period you've just missed in life. Most of us however do know '77 and the first theatrical release of this film. Sweet Memories...
Slap Shot remains a lot of fun to look at, after all these years. And since I saw it last with some folks from, let's say, another generation, who saw the film for the very first time, I know now that Slap Shot hasn't lost anything of its appeal to first viewers !
This is an amazing film, with so many shades of humor and social satire... And amazing performances from the actors, with Paul Newman who will yet again be truly unforgettable here. (You tend to forget how many unforgettable parts he plaid, since he has done so many...)
If you love or hate sports or hockey or life, you should definitely not miss Slap Shot !
