Review of Slap Shot (1977) by Stephen M — 28 Nov 2007
This is certainly not hilarious but it does hit the right buttons once in a while. The problem with the film is that, after gleefully catering to the bloodthirsty section of the audience for most of its running time, it then hypocritically back-pedals and preaches that violence in sport is disgraceful.
Lindsay Crouse makes the most of her underwritten role as a disgruntled wife. Overlong and over-vulgar.
