Review of Slap Shot (1977) by Artie B — 02 Sep 2008

[font=Lucida Console][size=5]"Slap Shot" is without an equal...Racous, rude and raunchy...but oh, deliciously so...[/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5][/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5]It is truly one of the funniest sports flicks ever filmed by "Big Time Hollywood"...the super interesting thing about the film was that it is loosely based on minor league hockey...[/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5][/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5]The screenwriter had family members on a local minor league team and she used many of their real exploits in the script...[/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5][/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5]Yep, the foul language...the gross adventures of the team...all written by Nancy Dowd...[/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5][/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5]I'd luv to hammer a few back with her one day...She has her shit definitely packed ever so tight together...[/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5][/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5]Paul Newman has a ball as the down drodden coach of this losing team...and who steals just about every scene he is in...Strother Martin...[/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5][/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5]Strother did so many movies with Paul...Word has it he was a top pro and a joy to work with on the set...[/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5][/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5]Decades later the flick is still on the top list of all time sports movies and overall comedies...See why...Pick up a copy at the vid store or download the film on your 'puter tonight...[/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5][/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5]the bellylaughs and yuks will follow...I guarantee it...[/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5][/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5]Ten out of ten on the gross-o-meter and the laugh meter in my hovel...[/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5][/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5]"Slap Shot", a true classic. Fuck "Rosebud" and check out the bounty on Tim McCraken![/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5][/size][/font].

[font=Lucida Console][size=5]Ciao for now[/size][/font].
