'GOON: LAST OF THE ENFORCERS': Four and a Half Stars (Out of Five)A sequel to the 2011 indie sports comedy hit 'GOON', with Sean William Scott returning in the starring role, as Doug 'the Thug' Glatt. The story revolves around a pro hockey lockout, which makes the lower league much more popular. Doug is made the captain of his team, as they have to deal with a shitload of new players, before he then decides to retire. The film costars Alison Pill, Liev Schreiber, Jay Baruchel, Kim Coates and Marc-Andre Grondin in returning roles; with Wyatt Russell, Callum Keith Rennie, Elisha Cuthbert and T.J. Miller joining the cast. Baruchel also makes his feature directorial debut helming the movie, and he co-wrote it (once again) with Jesse Chabot. It's received a limited indie theatrical release at the Box Office, and it's now available for rent on video and VOD. It's also gotten mixed reviews from critics (unlike the mostly positive reviews for the first film). I loved it. With a pro hockey lockout causing more media attention for the lower league, Doug (Scott) is made captain of the Halifax Highlanders. During their first game he's challenged to a fight by the rival team's enforcer, Anders Cain (Russell), who's also the son of the Highlanders' owner, Hyrum Cain (Rennie). Doug loses the brutal fight, and he's injured during it as well, so he decides to retire from the sport. Doug's wife, Eva (Pill), is expecting a child, and Doug decides to take an office job in order to prepare for a more normal (and less dangerous) family life. Still he constantly dreams of returning to the sport.The movie is a great film for people that like bloody sports action, hockey obviously, and constant dick and fart jokes. It also helps to like multiple 80s style montage scenes, with 80s music. The film actually feels more like a 'ROCKY' flick than anything else, with lots of crude comedy in between the central plot points. It's more about the bloody fights, in hockey, than the sport itself, and it's excessively violent too (in a good way, in my opinion). Scott is also completely lovable in the lead again, and Baruchel impresses as a debut filmmaker. I really enjoyed it, as I also did the first one.

To be honest I loved the first one so much this didn't compare, this one was good but not as good as the first and I found that some of the jokes were forced into the situation Almost the same story line as the first With almost the same type of ending Trust me when I say this the movie is almost exactly like the first If you didn't see the first movie you'd love this

Slap Shot is one of the best hockey films ever here in Quebec city, Canada, where the franchises play, for one reason... it has been made with our culture. A lot of sexist, racist and funny jokes.I watch it in English, but since the English is kinda very dull theses days at making jokes (we are not in the Eddie Murphy and Jim Carrey era anymore eh?), the films is terrible. In Quebec French, it's at least a laugh every minutes. Jay Baruchel (Who speak french, since he is born in Montreal) know that the film is much more awesome in French of Quebec.This is a disgrace to only speak English for that reason, you miss the real point, this film is made to be seen in French of Quebec, osti de caliss de tabarnak !! haha !

So I was a huge fan of the first Goon movie, so when I herd that it was going to have a sequel I could not wait to see it. Sean William Scott returns as Doug Glatt, a Dim witted but has a heat of gold Hockey player, playing in the minors on his last legs when the son of his boss takes him out of hockey for what seems like forever but interesting enough he gets a comeback thanks to old rival and mentor Ross Rena(played by Liev Schreiber, who I'm so happy returned to do this film) It's not a Hockey movie or a sports movie ironically (or at least not the best one I've ever screen.), but it has the essence of true sportsmanship and the underdog gone good, but most of all it's about goons. That's the thing they get right in this. If you love the first movie you'll like this movie for the same reason.
