Editorial Review: Product Description: A failing ice hockey team finds success using constant fighting and violence during games. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 02/14/2006 Starring: Paul Newman Allan Nicholls Run time: 123 minutes Rating: R Director: George Roy Hill Amazon.com essential video: Paul Newman and his Butch Cassidy director, George Roy Hill, made a very original comedy in this 1977 story of an over-the-hill player/coach (Newman) for a lousy hockey team who gets results when he teaches his players to get dirty. 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:  - Here's what it is, here's what it ain'tSlap Shot is bottom-of-the-barrel minor league hockey. It's blue collar, living on the edge of desperation, rust belt culture. It's about a marginal business run for purposes irrelevant to sport. It's people miscast in life from hacks who see themselves as pros, to elitists who deign to play with the low-lifes. It's about people screwing up their relationships, about mis-communication and non-communication. It's about how people hurt each other in order to connect with one another. It's crude ...

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 anyone ...

Rating: - SlapshotDoes this really require a review. A NEwman classic and throw in the Hanson Brothers and you have a great film! Browse for similar items by category:
