Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

kersus This is a fun, enjoyable film that captures some of the essence of being a hockey player. It tries to continue the first movie but has a lighter feel to it (less drama). They tried to make similar characters to the original SlapShot instead of new unique characters and some of that feels awkward - especially the sex-obsessed character. He's a little tacked on and the T&A wasn't needed. The Hansons are older but still wild and entertaining. All in all, this is a film that left me smiling and is an essential movie to have on the shelf of any hockey fan.This film does make some meaningful jabs at the entertainment industry and the inability for "bigwigs" to understand what people really want to see. It's like they were seeing into the future of what the NHL is becoming, and showing what's wrong with it.The acting is satisfactory. It won't blow your mind, but no one is terrible. Except for a couple T&A scenes and a little swearing, it could even be a good kids movie.

whpratt1 Decided to watch AMC and found this film and decided to give it a try and see what I was in for in regards to entertainment. There was a great deal of humor and Steven Baldwin,(Sean Linden),"In My Sleep",'06, made very little effort in his acting to convince me that he even enjoyed making this film. Sean played a has-been hockey player who liked the wild life and decided to get in on a deal offered to him and his team as a comedy hockey team. Added to the action in the film was, Jessica Steen,(Jessie Dage),"Homefront",'91, a gal who was the granddaughter to a very famous hockey player from the past. The film was very boring and never seemed to end and made absolutely no common sense at all.

VulcanPhil The original Slap Shot movie starred Paul Newman. It was a hilarious look at the seedier side of minor pro Ice Hockey. It has become a huge classic among most Hockey fans. Since I am an Ice Hockey Referee part time, I joke that Slap Shot is mandatory viewing for all referees.Having seen the original, I was skeptical about a follow-up 24 years later. The Hansen brothers reprised their characters well, but everyone else was new. The roles they were playing didn't seem to come naturally to the other actors. Still it was a pretty good acting job overall. There were some lines lifted directly from the original. This was somewhat clever, but after the 3rd time, it was just hokey.Even with this sequel's drawbacks, there were still lots of laughs. The Hansens can be counted on for that. There is some nudity and a brief sex scene that won't work for kids except maybe mature teenagers.So don't go in expecting a clean follow-up to the original classic, just go in for some laughs and a few memories.

SABSEXYBEAST I thought that Stephen did a pretty fair job in this movie. If you love hockey..like i do..then you'll like this movie. I would have liked to see the side of Stephen people normally see in this movie, but he is a diverse actor,and there are plenty of movies to see him in.
