Audience Member This tv movie about Gordie Howe is great. The cast did an excellent job in this movie and the story about Gordie coming out of retirement is interesting and inspiring. Hockey fans as well as non hockey fans would enjoy this movie. Check it out. It's worth it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member An absolute delight. A touching true story about work and family. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Surprisingly good movie. Well cast and interesting "true" story. Worth watching. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member More than worth the $3 I paid for it at a dollar general. It's a nice true & feel good story. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad for a Hallmark Channel movie. Of course there's a bias here... 3/5 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member One great hockey movie! The story of a father who comes out of retirement to play hockey on a line with his two sons is a sentimental an entertaining movie. There is a Rocky theme where Gordie has to get back into shape, make the team, try to win a scoring championship, and the Avco Cup, while being called too old. Shanks' portrayal of Gordie as the wise hockey player, family man and father creates a character the audience relates with. The comedy is great one finds out that the Oggi Olgerthorp character name from the infamous movie Slapshot got his name coined for Gordie.A well written and directed movie. I give Mr Hockey three pucks out of five. Hey a hat trick! Mr Hockey shoots and scores. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
