"Goon, a new film from Michael Dowse that is loosely based on the real life of ex-hockey enforcer Doug Smith. When a hockey player enters the stands to confront rowdy fans, the fan who cleans his clock does not merely become an instant folk hero – he earns a tryout with the local team."
Facing facts some people simply won't like this movie. I liked it, was laughing almost the entire time. Sure the script could use work, but hey I enjoyed the film overall.
However its hockey and its "stupid" humor so there will be people that simply don't, or dont want to, like it.
