Rating: Summary: A Horrible Movie Review: I am surprised Paul Newman was in such a horrible movie! He could have been a better. I've seen some excellent movies with Newman and I thought this would be excellent and very funny but I was dissapointed. The hockey games were funny but that was it.
Rating: Summary: A Great Hockey Film! Review: One of the best hockey films of all time! Slap Shot has the best on ice action that I have ever seen. The screenplay can only be described as laugh out loud funny. Newman is superb as an older but still competative hockey player. His interaction with the younger guys on the team is sincerely heartfelt. Anyone can enjoy this film, hockey fan or not!
Rating: Summary: Great Comedy Classic - Best with Original Soundtrack! Review: I have been a BIG fan of this since it's original release, But was VERY disappointed with the "new" lame soundtrack. What did they think that we wouldn't notice it! GEEZE! I would pay the couple bucks more for the version with the original score that made the original a classic! The Hanson brothers all being native Minnesotans are not happy either!
Rating: Summary: The Best Sports Comedy Ever - and it has a MESSAGE! Review: Slap Shot, believe it or not, was written by a woman, who knows an awful lot about both the sport and the business of hockey. Not only is this a comedy classic, but this film has a strong political edge. The entire premise of the film centers on the relationship between the team and its blue-collar hometown of Johnstown, PA. The mill is closing, the fans are about to give up on the team, so the owner - a Volvo-driving woman - wants to sell the team. And the final joke is that the team might be moving to Florida! What was funny in 1977 is reality today. A masterpiece from the director of "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." Just one more reason the 1970's was the greatest decade ever for American movies.
Rating: Summary: The best hockey movie ever... Review: This movie is a must-see if you are a hockey fan. Hilarious is the only way I can describe it. For the guy who rated the movie one star because it glorifies violence in sports and the humor is "not sophisticated", all I can say is "Lighten up!!"
Rating: Summary: On point for its time or our time. (1980') Review: Why is this different than today professional wrestling? This one is real, that is fake. Although not an acadamy award performance, one that makes one think and feel, maybe better than the acadamy? A "classic" if anyone knows what that means. Watch it and then watch a professional hockey game on prime time and see if it does not ring true. Wear a pear of "taped glasses" to the next hockey game if you dare."
Rating: Summary: SOPHOMORIC AND BANAL Review: I wish I could say something positive about this movie but that is impossible.The humor is on a high shool level at best, and at times plumets to new depthswith offensive sexist and homophobic humor. The use of coarse language only serves to pander to the lowest strata of our society. Glamorizing violence in sports only sets a bad example for our children.
Rating: Summary: hillarious!!!!!!!!!!!!11 Review: THIS IS A PAUL NEWMAN CLASSIC FILLED WITH SOME OF THE ONE LINERS...UP THERE WITH CADDYSHACK FOR REUSED AND OVERUSED MOVIE ONE LINERS.. THE HANSON BROTHERS LIGHT UP THE SCREEN JUST WHEN THE MOVIE STARTS TO LAG AND MAKE THE BEST TURNAROUND OF ACION HUMOR AND HOCKEY ADLIBS...THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OUT THERRE....TOO BAD THE SOUNDTRACK HAS BEEN REPLACED THE 70'S CLASSICS/ORGINALS ARE GREATLY MISSED AND CERTAINLY ADDED TO THE MOVIES HUMOR
Rating: Summary: Slap Shot lights the red light Review: This is the mother of all hockey movies. And if the Hanson Brothers couldn't get you in the game then you're out of luck because this movie has put the game of hockey on the bad boys list. Paul Newan is a hockey player-coach for the Charlestown Chiefs trying to bring up their rapport with the locals. And when things got bloody, they bled face down on the ice for the finals. "Slap Shot" has inspired the bad nature for the game of hockey. Check it out.
Rating: Summary: One of the funniest sports movies EVER! Review: I agree with Puck about the soundtrack being changed,.....does anyone know why this happened? The original soundtrack was GREAT,.....the new soundtrack, while it don't change the movie , certainly DOES take something away from the movie,...at least for me it does.
