Seann William Scott, ice hockey, violence, blood and the odd loose tooth.
The violent rookie and the violent pro?
you might see the showdown coming, and its no lesser for it.
What anchors the film is one of Scott William Scotts most likeable performances.
What this adds up to is a film that, inevitably, is tonally all over the place.
The comedy and violence arent natural bedfellows at all, and the two elements simply dont gel.
A further price is paid with the films attempts at further exposition, as Dougs fledgling romance feels undercooked.
Much like the ice at one of the end of the films games,Goonis a messy film.
Seann William Scott is crucial in anchoring it, and in offering some consistency through its wildly different choices.
And youd be hard push to say that it outstays its welcome.
Do not, though, see it on a full stomach.
