Review of Slap Shot (1977) by Cameron J — 17 May 2011

I watched this film with little knowledge of it and little enthusiasm about it. It didn't help that the film suffers from virtually no development, lack of engagement, slowness, periodic editing faults, a bit of a repetative soundtrack, unlikeable characters, crudeness, a moderate lack of plot and a cop-out ending.

Still, the generally effective humor and other pros leave "Slap Shot" to be a reasonably entertaining, but still underwhelming and rather forgettable filler film.
