Comedy Labeled an outcast by his brainy family, a bouncer overcomes long odds to lead a team of under performing misfits to semi-pro hockey glory, beating the crap out of everything that stands in his way.

	Author	Review
United States	Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"The fact that a movie as harsh and despicable as 'Goon' can be promoted as a comedy says terrible things about the state of the American film industry"	NEG
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Brutal, bloody and presided over by a portrait of Her Majesty the Queen, the Canadian ice hockey in this movie is a cross between 'Rollerball' and a prison riot (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"What's somewhat surprising is you don't have to give a hoot about hockey to enjoy the movie. This is just a guy living his dream: Hitting people"	POS
