It's not often that I can refer to a movie as a celebration of stupidity and mean it affectionately, but this one probably qualifies. There's nothing new here, mind - it's basically a retelling of the Ugly Duckling, where amiable dimwit Doug Glatt demonstrates a talent for hitting people in the face and finds his true calling protecting his team on the hockey rink. Seann William Scott is tremendously endearing in the lead role, though, and the nifty (if disgusting) sound engineering is pretty effective at deceiving the audience into thinking it's not a thinly-disguised rewrite of every 90s romcom they ever saw.
