      Audience Member A delightfully entertaining caper with an assortment of fun characters. Followed by sequels in 1998, 2001 and 2005. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Not terrible, but not particularly good either. Les Boys has its moments, but overall is very crude and formulaic. Is it nice to see a Canadian film make so much money? Absolutely, but apart from the very Canadian references and an understanding of the hockey culture that the American's never seem to quite capture, Les Boys has nothing to recommend it over any other sports film out there. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member French version of Slapshot. Great culture in this cult-classic out of Québec. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent film quebecois. Je ne me tanne jamais de le revoir meme 12 ans plus tards!!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member fun...they translate it in english????hmmm no they didn't. Anyways, good movie with fun and hockey Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A few belly laughs here. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
