Goon (2011)
CHANNEL 4, 12.55AM ★★
The crash-bang world of semi-pro ice hockey is the canvas for this comedy, which stars Seann William Scott as a dim bouncer recruited as the muscle for a team in Nova Scotia. Co-star Jay Baruchel wrote the script with Evan Goldberg, whose movies (Superbad, The Green Hornet) are monotonously fascinated with male bonding. The one great compensation is Alison Pill as Scott’s spunky love interest.
