First, I’m aware some of the themes and language used in the movie have not aged well.
However, this is an absolute sports classic that I’ve seen at least 15 times in my life. I recommend any sports fan, especially a hockey fan, to watch immediately.
One of the most quotable sports movies out there. Just a few of my favorites:
“They brought their FUCKEN TOYS with them”
“Eddie Shore? PISS ON Eddie Shore! Old time hockey? PISS ON Old…
Up there for my favourite movie of the year.
The best way I can describe it is as a Darker Romantic Comedy.
The movie has real emotions and genuine comedy; something you rarely see in movies nowadays.
The only knock against it for me is that it felt a little long by the end but overall an excellent movie, strongly recommend. Lots of sex though, perhaps don’t go with your parents.
One of the better sequels made to date, came close to a 5/5 for me but as much as I loved it; I feel it’s a strong 4.5 as I prefer to reserve 5 for a very few amount of movies.
Stronger pacing than the first, excellent story telling and execution. Similar to the first movie, the visuals were sensational; especially during the black moon lighting - great touch.
I do see how it can be hard for non “fantasy…
