Nonureva Really Surprised!

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

slightlymad22 It was with some trepidation that I watched this movie, I loved it as a kid, like I did "Crocodile Dundee" and it's sequel, both of which disappointed me, upon rewatching them recently. Plot In A Paragraph: Dean Youngblood (Rob Lowe) a 17-year-old farmhand from New York, has dreams of playing in the National Hockey League. He is granted the chance to travel to Canada to try out for the Hamilton Mustangs. At the try-outs, Youngblood displays the talent which got him "92 goals in the New York League" but also displays a lack of physical toughness that is so prized in Canadian hockey. This weakness is pounced upon by a brutish player, Carl Racki (George J. Finn), who is also trying out for the team and engages him in a fight. Youngblood quickly learns that flashiness and pure athletic ability will not be enough to be successful in this league. Despite being beat up by by Racki, the coach opts to select Youngblood for a spot on the team. He ingratiates himself to the other players and particularly Captain Derek Sutton (Patrick Swayze) and the coach's daughter Jessie (Cynthia Gibb), its not long before Racki reappears playing for a rival team. Rob Lowe is good as Dean Youngblood, he is pretty enough for the "pretty boy" tag and looks in good shape. Cynthia Gibb is very attractive as Jessie Chadwick, and what an ass she has!! I loved it!! Ed Lauter is a lot of fun as Coach Murray Chadwick and George J. Finn is imposing and does a good job as Carl Racki. However Patrick Swayze steals this movie (yes even away from Cynthia Gibb's wonderful ass) as Derek Sutton. He is brilliant, and a reminder of what a talent we have lost. Keanu Reeves had a small role as Heaver, one of Lowe and Swayze's team mates.

sale_mj_vgd Why only 5.5?! This movie deserve much better... I say, there is many movies like this, but this movie have something what others don't have...2 excellent actors ( Patrick Swayze and Rob Lowe), make this movie so special...I like this kind of movie because they have good impact on young people.. Many "Youngbloods" have waiting for their chance, this movie talking them that "If you believe in something, you will get that"...My vote is 10, because i didn't seen movie like this years ago. This movie is for everyone... you must see this...

Son_of_Mansfield How much you like this movie depends on two questions. Do you like hockey? What kind of hockey do you like? To the first, I give a resounding yes. To the second I say that hitting has always been and will always be a part of the game, but I have never been a fan of stick work or trying to knock good players out of the game. It's that idea that the movie tries to put forth, that Youngblood needs to fight to be a good hockey player, is simply not true. Hell, they could have put future NHL star Steve "Stumpy" Thomas out there to take care of hitting. He is the brick wall wearing number 12 that coach Ed Lauter tries to put on the ice. Anyway, this one of those fighting against the odds movies that just doesn't have enough going for it. They should have taken the movie out to the barn and taught it how to punch.

rubydreamer I found myself bored by this movie. Firstly, I did not like Rob Lowe or Cynthia Gibb in this movie. I found their characters predictable and cliché and their romance even more so. I did like Patrick Swayze, I though he gave a good performance. But I have to say in a movie like this it isn't good to judge performances as the material isn't very hard to act.My main problem was as I said, it doesn't capture your attention and i'm mostly talking about the hockey games. I felt like their wasn't even an effort to make the action interesting. I should have been cheering the characters on at that last hockey game but I bored. I guess my opinion is a bit biased after watching the Maurice Richard movie whose hockey sequences were rivaled by no one else in their excitement and joy.I certainly would not recommend this movie to hockey fans. Maybe the lingering Rob Lowe fans would enjoy it but i found this to be a boring and unmoving film even for a teen movie.
