For those who always wondered what Happy Gilmore would have been like without the golf, you may have your answer with the film Goon, the story of a guy (Seann William Scott) handpicked to play for a semi-pro hockey team based on his ability to beat the crap out of people (the preview doesn't mention whether he's ever tried to take off his skate and stab somebody).
Based on the book Goon: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey Into Minor League Hockey by Doug Smith and Adam Frattasio, the film has been adapted for the big screen by Jay Baruchel and Evan Goldberg (Baruchel fans will note that he also stars in the film, along with his real-life love Alison Pill).
This film is coming out at the perfect time during the winter movie lull. It has the potential to pique the interest of hockey-lovers as well as those looking for something to watch other than the latest Katherine Heigl movie.
Hahahaha!! Sweeeet... can't wait!!
