Review of Slap Shot (1977) by Curt C — 10 Jul 2008
This film has become beloved my both Canadians and hockey fans. I am a Canadian and a hockey fan ... yet for the life of me, I just cannot bring myself to enjoy it.
Slapshot is nothing more than another Cinderella-story sports film. The film is a comedy, yet I barely laughed. The Hanson brothers were somewhat humorous, but I can't get behind the cult following they've spurned. Please don't take away my citizenship for saying this, but I think a large reason this film has garnered any sort of following is simply due to it being a Canadian comedy about hockey.
