Goon – received certified fresh ratings

Michael Dowse’s Goon is a 2012 comedy flick which is distributed by Magnet Releasing and written by Jay Brauchel and Evan Goldberg. It was released on 10th September last year at the Toronto Film Festival and is scheduled to release on 30th March in United
States. 

The film is produced by David Goss and stars Sean William Scott, Live Schreiber and Jay Baruchel. It follows a bouncer, who is labeled an outcast by his brainy family, overcomes odds to lead a team of under performing misfits to semi-pro hockey glory. 

The movie is an adaptation of the book Goon: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey into Minor League Hockey by Adam Frattasio and Doug Smith. It was filmed in Brandon, Portage La Paire and Winnipeg, Manitoba.

It received a 7.1 out of 10 rating in the site, IMDB, based on 7,709 users.A review aggregator site, Meta Critic reported a score of 63 out of 100 based on 16 reviews. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a Certified Fresh Rating of 77 per cent, based on 65 reviews,
with an average rating of 6.2 out of 10. It stated, “Goon is a crude slapstick comedy with well-formed characters and a surprising amount of heart.”Detroit News’ top film critic, Tom Long, gave it a rating of B and said, “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.”However, Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times gave it a score of 2.5 of five and declared, “Scott isn’t bad: He sells the comedy of his character’s
ingrained politeness as much as the aggression. But "Goon" feels like a movie starring a gimmick, not a person.” All in all, Goon is an interesting movie to watch with your friends and family.
