A good movie

Since I kept hearing some pretty good things about this flick, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, eventually, it turned out to be not bad at all after all. In fact, I would go even as far as saying that it is easily one of the best movies starring Seann William Scott (sure, it was a low bar to clear, I'll admit that). First of all, Scott was for once playing something else than just another version of Steve Stifler and it was quite refreshing. His character was also interesting, in fact, most of the characters in general were rather well written. Then, I have to give some credit to the makers of this film since, even though they focused so much on the fact that hockey can be such a brutal sport, they still managed to make it look actually pretty damned entertaining. Hell, even most of the jokes were pretty funny. I guess the only thing preventing this movie from becoming really great was the fact that it followed too much the traditional sports movie formula and, as a result, it was completely predictable and probably too generic. And, yet, the raw and raunchy approach was really appreciated and it has been a while since I have seen such a fun movie in this genre. Anyway, to conclude, even if it was nothing really groundbreaking, it was still a really enjoyable sports comedy and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
