Slap Shot

Slap Shot

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

Slap Shot out slaps... out swears... out laughs...
you'll see Paul Newman doing things you'd never expect him to do... saying things you'd never expect him to say!
If this movie doesn't make you laugh, you better look up a psychiatric!!
