Reviews
There are still some nice touches of absurdist satirical wit hanging out along the sidelines, given extra bite by Dede Allen's superbly pacy editing.
Slap Shot has a kind of vitality to it that overwhelms most of the questions relating to consistency of character and point of view.
This film is full of friendly slap shots, romantic icing, and passionate goals. It’s well worth checking out.
Funny, frank, and violent, George Roy Hill's absorbing film about minor league hockey offers a wonderful comic performance from Newman.
Half the time Hill invites the audience to get off on the mayhem, the other half of the time he decries it.
Fingindo criticar a glorificação da violência e sua utilização como espetáculo, o filme comete os mesmos erros que supostamente condena.
Outrageously fun hockey comedy. I wish the Hanson brothers from this film would come around to body check those other Hanson brothers and their MMM-BOP crapola
