![]() ![]() We owe that glorious dialog to Jay Baruchel, who also has a minor role in the movie as the uncomfortably raunchy best friend - he’s played this character so many times in these witless comedies that it’s almost uncomfortable to go back and watch How To Train Your Dragon. Seriously, you’d think he was the dullest skate on the ice, but almost every player in the movie is brain damaged. My Dad is correct that no one can replace Paul Newman’s sass, but the Goon movies switch it up by focusing on wannabe-Hansen-brother Doug Glatt, played by Seann William Scott, a bouncer turned hockey player with more toes than brain cells. With plenty of blood, family values, and nonsense hockey, I think they fill the gap. It’s a tough task to emulate the satire that synonymized hockey and fighting, but the Goon films are giving it their best shot.
