My recommendation for this one was:
"While the movie may not do the sport of Hockey justice, I might see this because I like Hockey and it looks like a harmless laugh."
Yes, the film was a harmless laugh. If you like hockey or sports movies, and this is no different than any other underdog sports story, then this is 1 hr. and 20 minutes that are not completely wasted. Sean William Scott played the lead character perfectly, so much so that he didn't really need to do much. A nice change from his usual smart-ass roles. The rest of the cast were good, too, and Liev's "Canadian" accent was hilarious, eh?"
There were some laugh-out-loud moments and it was entertaining enough. Combined with all the red licorice I ate watching, I found Goon to be light and mildly satisfying.
This blog was inspired by Max Beerbohm (August 24, 1872 – May 20, 1956) an English essayist, parodist, critic and caricaturist. He was once asked how he wrote his book reviews. He answered, "I look at the book, write the review and, if I like the review, I'll read the book." I sort of apply Max's approach to movies. Kind of like judging a book by its cover... only judging a movie by its trailer.
