Goon

Goon

Let there be no doubt about it: "Goon" is a sports movie, but it's not a sports movie that is as typical and by-the-book as most sports movies. Okay, being a comedy and having Seann William Scott the leading role automatically gives it a goofy touch, but don't go expecting anything along the lines of "American Pie" or anything like that. Actually, despite its comic and brutal touch, it's probably the most serious I've seen Seann William Scott. I don't think this film is as good as the critics have claimed, but it's one of the better indie comedies so far this year. Those who liked the hockey film, "Slap Shot", will probably love "Goon" as well. (6 out of 10)
