Paul Newman and his Butch Cassidy director, George Roy Hill, made a very original comedy in this 1977 story of an over-the-hill player/coach (Newman) for a lousy hockey team who gets results when he teaches his players to get dirty. One of the most hilariously profane movies ever to come out of Hollywood, this is the kind of film that makes its own rules as it goes along. Newman is very good, and while Hill goes for the gusto in terms of capturing the violence of this world, his instinct for comedy has never been sharper. Great support from Strother Martin, Paul Dooley, and the rest. --Tom Keogh

 Go To the Box and You Feel Shame January 4, 2010
T. King (Pittsburgh, PA)
As "Caddyshack" is a must own for golfers, "Slapshot" is a must own for anyone who ever laced them up. Paul Newman is more than believeable as just about washed up Reggie Dunlap and brings a centering influence to a movie that could have gone up in a cheap laugh or two. Mixed with the antics of the Hanson brothers (the foil, the race car set in the hotel room) this movie is alive with lines that you hear in NHL locker rooms 25 years later (everyone from Sidney Crosby to the assistant locker room guy knows "You go to the box and you feel shame"). Every hockey player you know needs a copy of this movie.

 A dull and often simplistic movie, one of Newman's worst October 18, 2009

Paul Newman has had many roles where he played dynamic and complex personalities. This is not one of them; Newman is the head coach of a minor league hockey team that is suffering financially and about to be folded. Newman's solution is to turn the team into a goon squad, where the players now fight more than skating and the crowds are wild. The action on the ice has more in common with professional wrestling than it does with sports. Attendance soars and the team is now profitable. Newman is crude, dropping the f-word everywhere, including in a meeting where he encounters the female owner of the team for the first time.
Newman also has other female relationship problems, he is separated from his wife and they are both seeing other people. The simplicity of his approach to life and hockey is not attractive, although at the end, he wants to play the championship game as one of hockey. No more muggings for the crowd, he wants to make it a real game. Of course, Newman's team wins the championship but in the most absurd manner possible. The case describes the movie as "outrageously funny", but to me it never gets beyond the "outrage" segment.

This has to be the greatest hockey movie ever. The acting by Strother Martin and Paul Newman is very good. This DVD adds the commentary of the 'Hanson brothers'. It's adult only content so watch it first before you decide if it is appropriate for your kids. If you have played hockey back in the 'old days' or know someone who has, this is truly a great movie.
