Ratings and reviews

One of, if not the, best hockey movies or sports movies out there. Hilarious and just a great time every time you watch it. You don't have to be a hockey fan to enjoy this, but it makes it all the better if you are [ though, life in general is better as a hockey fan :-) ]

The cut was better, made him less sleazy, and then what's his name writer-director kinda goes on bend in that area anyway. I wanted to watch it in full, and it was weird. It wasn't as funny.

An all time classic ...as a former hockey player we watched this all the time on the bus ...we knew every line . A true sports classic .
