One of the most hilariously profane movies ever to come out of Hollywood, this is the kind of film that makes its own rules as it goes along. Newman is very good, and while Hill goes for the gusto in terms of capturing the violence of this world, his instinct for comedy has never been sharper. Great support from Strother Martin, Paul Dooley, and the rest. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Terrible MovieI had heard how THIS movie was the ultimate ice hockey movie, but I thought it was sooooo bad and soooo did not portray the game of ice hockey. If it hadn't been for the (oftentimes unnecessary) very foul language ,there wouldn't have been much dialogue. I thought it portrayed hockey players in a very negative way. I did not find it funny or enjoyable (and I have a pretty open-minded sense of humor). To say the least, I am VERY sorry that I spent money buying this DVD. Rating:  - To hockey what "Bull Durham" is to baseballJust one of those 'classic' sports movies. Aside from the 70s nostalgia, it's the fact that if you've ever worked or played in the minor leagues this movie will ring absolutely true. I finally burned out my old VHS version that I played every October when the NHL starts up. The names, the references, the laughs; even if you don't like hockey, "Slap Shot" can be appreciated for what it is - a look back at the bottom rung of a bygone era in sports. Rating: - Damn FunnyThis is a very funny movie. When I watched it the first time, I was just thinking "this is not how sports should be played, where is the sportsmanship." But then I watched it again a few days later, and I realized that it is more about how messed up things were in a town like this and in the '70's, and it suddenly made sense that they desperately wanted to keep their jobs, so they did whatever it took. There are a lot of classic lines in this movie, and it kept me laughing the whole time. How can ...

Rating: - SlapshotDoes this really require a review. A NEwman classic and throw in the Hanson Brothers and you have a great film! |
