Summary: Not Too Bad
Review: This movie accomplishes the impossible: it makes Caddyshack 2 look like The Godfather Part 2. A complete waste of celluloid. Stephen Baldwin is at his absolute worst (which is saying something) as a washed-up ex NHL star who is now playing for and coaching our beloved Charlestown Chiefs. The Hanson Brothers are still on the roster, apparently so the team can meet the league quota for 50 year olds. I don't want to "ruin" the "plot twists", so you'll have to sit through it to find out. Must be seen to appreciate how god-awful it is. Gary Busey zombie-walks through his role as a right-wing media mogul who purchases the team and moves them to Nebraska. In a movie full of imposibilites, the most riduculous event is the hot female coach falling for Baldwin, who looks and acts like a complete dork throughout the entire movie. Don't purchase this piece of garbage, rent it instead. If you're a fan of the original movie, avoid this at all costs, unless you also enjoyed Blues Brothers 2.

Summary: Absolutely terrible.
Review: We should be able to select "No star" for the rating. Just sad, horrible attempt at a sequel. Hockey people will understand my opinion. The original was and is still the all time greatest hockey movie ever. I can't believe they even released this film.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Slap Shot 2...whew...
Review: Well, this movie had TV movie level acting and storyline. But that doesn't take away from the quality of the film. The image is crisp and free of artifacts. Many shots are a little dark, but purposely filmed to give the atmosphere of "creepy".

You can tell they set out to do something, but somewhere it just fell apart.

The special features are too limited. What would help this film is tons of extras. This way the price is more attractive.

Rent it and laugh.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Well...it was direct to video/DVD
Review: While not up to the high standard of the original Slap Shot, SS2 is a good addition to any Hockey (or Hanson Bros.) fan's collection. Seeing the Hanson's back on the ice is worth the price of the DVD on it's own. At times the movie seems almost formulaic, copying some of the better scenes from the original, but accepting this as paying tribute to one of the greatest hockey movies of all time, we can let that go.

The four out of five stars rating is based on those of us who love the original Slap Shot, so if it was not your cup of tea, you will want to give this movie a pass.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This stinks!
Review: Why did it take 25 years to make the sequel? NUFF said
