DVD Reviews of Youngblood
DVD Review: Eye Candy on Ice!
Summary: 2 Stars
Well I have to put my 2-stars on this celluloid quagmire. Now I like hockey (but admit I don't speak NHL and was born in 1980) and according to my Quebecois relatives Youngblood and Slap Shot (#1 NOW AND FOREVER!!!!) paints a pretty accurate picture of 1970's/80's semi-pro/pro North American hockey.
Youngblood ranks somewhere between Slap Shot and Disney's Miracle (quality) and the Mighty Ducks trilogy and Most Valuable Primate (fiascoes in an ice arena). Don't ask me about the Miracle on Ice 1981 ABC TV movie as I haven't found a download of it yet, but... STEVE GUTENBERG AS JIM CRAIG?!!! PETER HORTON AS JACK O'CALLAHAN?!!! I first saw this when I was 13 and could give an honest crap about the hockey scenes because I felt them to be a bit contrived. You get an honest laugh out of the hazing, the little bro/big bro relationship between Lowe and Swayze is somewhat heartwarming (especially with the latter's current cancer battle), and you feel for our young hero when he gets benched for flirting with coach's foxy daughter. The sex scenes were typical 80's comedy fare (and I hope I look like Fionnula Flannigan when I'm that age), but I think that Keanu Reeve's Quebecois accent is more of an inside joke rather than part of his character- I am glad that he could actually play goal (according to IMDB's boards he was called "The Wall"). And don'tcha just love the "I'm-redeeming-myself-by-training" musical montage (think Rocky IV released a year previously)!
I would like to know two things: 1) Was hockey in Peter Markle's background to pen this script? 2) Was Eric Nesterenko's role intentionally 1-D because he was the intellectual Chicago Blackhawk? Also I thought it was cute to put the "Bart Feeds" and "Wells Electronics" rink boards ads as a little homage to the producers. All in all Youngblood was a far cry from the vapid epic fail MVP: The Secret Lives of Hockey Wives, nevertheless it was eye candy- and I wouldn't have it any other way!
P.S. If you're looking for the out-of-print soundtrack go to Blogspot and do a search, you'll find it there.
P.P.S. Could someone please seed Miracle on Ice (1981) or get that bugger on DVD and quick! Bad movie night can't get better without that one!
