Though a misfit among his brainy family members, Massachusetts bouncer Doug Glatt has a knockout punch that lands him a spot on a minor-league Canadian hockey team.

Critics Consensus

Goon is a crude slapstick comedy with well-formed characters and a surprising amount of heart.

As the brutality ramps up, and the story gains real consequence, for some reason, we actually laugh harder. Goon is a comedy, often a very funny one, but you might be hesitant to call it that once you've actually seen it.

4/5

A disarmingly sweet descendant of the blood-on-the-ice classic Slap Shot.

3.5/5

Exuberantly off-color, bloody, and frequently laugh-'til-you-choke hilarious.

3/4

What stays with you is how lovably awkward and warm-hearted Scott manages to be in this role.

Utimately, Goon succeeds even within the comfortable criteria set forth by dozens of sports films that have come before it.

Scott tries his best with the material but he has been abandoned by his team on this one.

I love goon. YOU Love Goon. WE ALL love goon. Kole Raymond George Fawcett's goon is in ALL of us! Goon is in MY life. Goon is in MY wife. She left me for Goon. I can't blame her.

Pure nonsense. Not even in a distant orbit from hockey reality, or from cinema entertainment. Calling it crap would be pricing it too highly

An instant hockey classic. Though it leans more comedy obviously then hockey accuracy, it's very well done and shows the grind of a minor leaguer in a comedic light. Sadly Goon 2 was not great.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
