Summary: When Bad Is Real Bad
Comment: The 2002 sequel to the classic, Slap Shot, which was releaseed in 1977, should be shown during in-school supensions at high-school's nationwide; students would want to quickly return to the classroom, though parents may deem the showing of the movie cruel and unusual punishment.

The story again centers on the fighting, rowdy Charlestown Chiefs, who are bought by a family-entertianment company, relocated to Nebraska and scheduled to play in scripted games to demonstrate how a sanitized version of the game can be fun, wholesome family entertainment.

Starring Stephen Baldwin, Gary Busey and Jessica Steen, the real-life ribs on hockey - much too violent, pro teams owned by faceless corporations, franchises in cities with little interest in the game - are lost in a bulky script attempting to survive on one-liners and bits that are put together like a puzzle with missing pieces.

This slap shot ends up on the heel of the stick, bounces on the ice a few feet and slides aimlessly to a stop well before the empty net.

Summary: Shocking
Comment: It gets one star because you can't give it any less. Truly, woefully poor. What were they thinking of? Leave this alone and watch the original at least 20 times.

Summary: the puzzle pieces aren't as smooth fitting as they need to be
Comment: This movie has a lot of funny moments. There was a nut joke in there which was funny, but it was so random it did not belong in the movie. It was supposed to make you laugh, but it makes you laugh because it's a dumb joke.

Otherwise, most of the humor that is in it works really well, such as the Ice Breakers getting Viagra or how the Chiefs or "Super Chiefs" ended up with their new jobs.

What really takes the subtstance out of this movie though is that they do not cover the breaching of contracts as if that's not important. Rather than making something come of it, they just suddenly end the movie. Granted, they did not want to extend the movie because there was so much humor to fill up almost two hours, and the majority of the audience for this movie won't be looking for serious matters. But the part they leave out just makes the story incohesive. They make is seem as if the president of Claremont is the only one who could get sued, but what about the president's assistant, the Chiefs/"Super Chiefs", and even the "Ice Breakers?" They all could sue for various other things that happened.

They are trying to mix childish humor in a more adult matter, and because of that I was hoping that instead of an expected happy ending, a certain team would not win in one of the games. Actually, they would've probably been funnier because a team would be so bad that you even wonder how they made it to the NHL in the first place.

Summary: Second time around
Comment: Not quite as good as the original however, even with somewhat of a thin plot, it was entertaining. If you liked the first Slap Shot, I do not think you would be wasting your time veiwing the sequel.
