One of the best Hockey movies out there! A excellent hockey movie! Burt Reynolds was great as a judge, the Mayor of the town played by Colm Meaney who played in Star Trek TNG and DS9. Even some of my friends who are not into Hockey LOVED this movie!

This movie is great fun, and full of lots of interesting characters. I'm not a hockey fan, but I found this to be a feel-good film about a small-town full of quirky characters who put their hearts and souls into a sport which others care about only for the financial rewards. From a very funny jury decision in the hometown courtroom to the icy punishment for the player who repeated what was said in the locker room ("What's said in the locker room stays in the locker room!")this film is full of warm-hearted humor and honest emotion. Don't think of this as a sports movie, or you'll miss much of the pleasure of it!!

I was on a cruise to Alaska and this was playing...it sounded boring...but we were stuck on the ship at night and bored..so we went to watch it. OMG. My husband and I, neither of whom are hockey fans, were amazed at the calibre movie this was. It was my first exposure to Russel Crowe and it was just a very good film. Thumbs up. It is a movie a husband and wife can both enjoy on a date night. :)

sports movies aren't that hard to figure out the plot. That being said, this is a very good sports film. Everyone with any interest in hockey or sports films in general should give it a look.

Based on the reviews and what I heard, this movie wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Couldn't have been shorter and pretty predicatble.

This is NOT a hockey movie. There is more drama in this movie than most theatre performances. It is sooooo predicatable. I knew what was exactly going to happen. Even the ending wasn't a suprise (you know they can't make professional hockey look bad by losing--so make it close!) I love watching and playing hockey (i also love ice skating) and that is the ONLY reason that this movie got 2 stars instead of 0! There are plently of great hockey movies out there, please rent one of those!

C H E E S Y!!!!!!!!!!!! They could have taken out the sex scenes and made this into a Disney movie for kids. Then you would expect the cheesy and predictable plot.
