RICHARD S Way to raunchy to hold our attention. Language uncharactistically foul for a Paul Newman movie, we were extremely disappointed and shut it off midway. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/06/25 Full Review stephen b Ahead of its time. Had to the inspiration for Major League. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review isa e outrageous , audacious, irreverent, off colour and awesome. Dated in the clothes but the movie was hilarious from beginning to end, Well acted and paced. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/05/24 Full Review Michael L It takes this comedy a while to build up to the actual laugh-out-loud comedy, but when it does, it's some of the funniest 3-5 minutes of comedy I've ever seen. Sadly after that, the film is back into first gear for the remainder of the film. If you like a juicy center and are patient enough to wait for it, the film is probably worth your time. Otherwise, skip this one and watch the Youtube videos of Hansen's first hockey game. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Audience Member The only way to win is to take a slap shot The late Paul Newman stars as field hockey coach Reggie Dunlop In his New England town of Charlestown 10,000 workers are being laid off from the mill His team, the Chiefs has had a miserable season They're down to their last hopes of playing so he lets the latest players, the Hansons play A new strategy comes into focus... The brothers' actively violent and thuggish style of play excites the fans Dunlop retools the team, using violence to draw big crowds This definitely brought me back to 'Goon' starring Sean William-Scott whose hockey team also used brute force to win their games and gain support from their fans That's what made the sport so much more fun to watch With this movie yeah I'm not the biggest sports fan but they make it exciting Some pretty sweet camera angles capturing the action and some intense hand to hand fist fights Is violence killing sports, are the players just a sideshow attraction, nothing but jokes or something to brush off? Newman is awesome in this sports-comedy with its raunchy violence and hilarious take on the genre I can see why it remains one of the most popular sports films of the 1970s and it has nice touches of absurdist satirical wit hanging out along the sidelines The final showdown is intense but also outrageous in its own right of enjoyment The film matches the rough, gritty nature of the era it came out of and is thoroughly enjoyable for sports movie lovers Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review S R Right up there with Caddyshack as the greatest sports movies ever made. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
