Trailer for Goon
The sports comedy Goon stars Seann William Scott as Doug Glatt, a slacker from a rich family who discovers he has a knack for hockey brawls. Dragged to a game by his best friend, Doug punches out the visiting team's toughest player when the angered thug rushes into the stands. The home team quickly recruits Doug (even though he can't skate) and encourages him to beat up their opponents.

Simon Miraudo, Quickflix
The bloodier the film gets, the sweeter Scott's lion-hearted enforcer seems, cheerfully taking pucks and sticks and skates to the face with a smile, all in the service of his beloved team.

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
[Scott] is reason enough to see the film, which otherwise is a by-the-book sports comedy.

Tom Russo, Boston Globe
The movie's unlikely sincerity can't completely offset its ugliness for less bloodthirsty viewers, but it helps, and it does smooth over some narrative rough edges.

Scott Mendelson, Dark Horizons
It is easily the best hockey movie since Miracle, for whatever that's worth.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
The movie is harsh, nasty and vulgar like you wouldn't believe. And often, it's hilarious.
