This movie was a pleasant surprise. Unlike the poor reviews given by previous IMDb critics, Puck Hogs was silly, sophomoric, and just plain funny. It's not a deep, introspective look at the of world of hockey. For that I recommend Les Chiefs. And, fortunately, Puck Hogs wasn't a Mighty Ducks turd-fest. For that, I recommend...well, The Might Ducks or Youngblood. Puck Hogs was not a Slapshot, nor do I think it every tried to be. It is a low-budget, parody of Canadian recreational hockey. If you have ever played rec hockey you will enjoy the humour (e.g., foul smelling hockey bag, a-hole convenors, stacked opposing teams wanting to win at all costs, terrible refereeing, excessive after-game drinking, etc.). To those who hated the movie I say this - good grief, what did you expect - it's a movie about a rec hockey team. I suppose you hate Don Cherry too. Get over yourselves.
