DVD Review: Most excellent hockey movie
Summary: 5 Stars

Excellent hockey movie. Truely a product of it's time. Captures semi-pro hockey of the 1970's very well. DVD version is very well done. Language and nudity unsuitable for younger viewers.

DVD Review: Slap Shot 25th Anniversary DVD
Summary: 3 Stars

This review relates to the unreliable delivery service and lack of response from Amazon.com with respect to my purchase of this DVD. I purchased this item on December 10th in hopes of giving it to my son as a Christmas gift. My purchase was confirmed and on December 11th, I received an update notifying me that the DVD had shipped with delivery expected on December 18th. The December notice also referenced a USPS tracking number. When I did not receive delivery on the 18th, I checked the status online where the estimated delivery remained shown as the 18th. The online status showed an estimated delivery date of 12/18 until January 5th when it was updated to 12/23. Since I had already missed Christmas, I went to the local post office to check status referencing the tracking number provided on the online status page. The postal service replied that the tracking number provided was not an active tracking number and had no further information. They also mentioned that Amazon was notorious for posting inaccurate information especially around the holidays. I finally received this item on January 13th, almost 1 month after my date of order. Great work Amazon.

DVD Review: Great movie, a classic for a reason!
Summary: 5 Stars

Slap Shot is easily one of the greatest sports movies of all time. Certainly one of the top hockey movies of all time at least. One of Paul Newman's most memorable performances, enough that the hockey world stopped to recognize him when he unfortunately passed. I don't know a hockey fan that does not love this movie, it is certainly one that no hockey fan's movie library would be complete without. This movie is hilarious, with an unforgettable cast of characters, from the Hanson Brothers to Ogie Ogelthorpe. Whether you're a hockey fan, or just love a good comedy, Slap Shot will not disappoint.

Description of Slap Shot (25th Anniversary Special Edition)

This irreverent and hilarious look into the world of professional sports has Paul Newman as the coach of the Chiefs, a struggling minor-league hockey team. To build up attendance at their games, management signs up the Hanson Brothers, three hard-charging players whose job is to demolish the opposition. "Slap Shot's" outrageous comedy, hard-hitting action, memorable lines and unforgettable characters have made this classic one of the all-time best sports movies ever.
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
