Starring: Jay Baruchel, Seann William Scott, Alison Pill, Marc-André Grondin, Eugene Levy, Liev Schreiber
Directed by: Michael Dowse
U.S. Rating: R
There's not much to say about Goon. A brainless sport comedy that was all about punches, fights, blood and... More blood.
Seann William Scott plays the role of Doug Glatt, a very respectul guy who got into a minor hockey league after beating and kicking a hockey player's butt who tried to punch his friend Pat during a game. Glatt was approached by the coach of a team after this incident and invited him to join the team. After his success on this minor league, he was promoted to join a team on a higher league, where he would face Ross Reardon, the ruthless player that everyone fears to death.
As said before, it is a brainless film, with a very, very poor script. Seann William Scott plays kind of a different role. We usually see him playing roles as a bad, disrespecful guy... But in this particular role, he actually plays a role of a very respectful guy with a single talent: To punch people on the face.
Definitely, a film to rent and watch on a DVD (when all other comedy films were already taken).
I would rate this movie with a 2/5
