GOON (2012)

Released Friday March 30th!!

Doug Glatt (Seann William Scott) has started to feel unsuccessful and ostracized from his brother and father who are both doctors. One day Doug and his friend Pat (Jay Baruchel) attend a minor league hockey game and during it, Pat begins to taunt the opposing team. One of the opposing players climbs into the stands to attack Pat and in his defense, Doug quickly throws a punch and knocks him out.

The crowd is pumped up by the quick fight and the head coach develops and idea. Doug gets a phone call shortly after about a position as an enforcer (a player who's role is to protect his teammates by hitting the opposing players).  All he has to do now is learn how to skate. Eventually he does and he gains much popularity and soon enough he is called up to another team in Canada. The fans fall in love with Doug. Doug becomes romantically involved with Eva (a hockey fan with a penchant for players). 

Four games remain and Dougs team is trying to secure a playoff spot. After the teams best player is concussed, Doug savagely beats up the player until he is unconscious. He is then suspended. Enemies are made and Doug must overcome twist and turns throughout the season.

The film runs 90 minutes and is rated R. I personally think this will be a good movie. SWC is an incredibly funny actor and the idea of him fighting people on ice sounds too good to be true. The film hasn't been advertised a whole lot, but do not be surprised if it does well in the box office!!
