One of my all-time favorite hockey movies is the original 2011/2012 Goon movie. And now the sequel is on the way.

Quote

A new Goon: Last of the Enforcers trailer has gone online. The sequel to the 2011 cult comedy sees Seann William Scott return as Doug “The Thug” Glatt, who must learn who how to fight again with the help of his old rival Ross “The Boss” Rhea (Liev Schreiber) so he can get back on the ice, support his wife (Alison Pill) and newborn child, and protect his teammates from a cocky newcomer (Wyatt Russell).

The trailer, which definitely shows too much of the plot, makes it look like the sequel will be as charming as the original. Here’s hoping that Jay Baruchel, who makes his directorial debut on the comedy sequel, can bring the same mix of surprising sweetness and filthy jokes.

The film opens in Canada on March 17th (no U.S. release date has been announced) and also stars Kim Coates and Elisha Cuthbert.

For those that enjoyed the first movie from 2011, it sounds like the follow-up is just as good.

Finally got to see this movie.

Although I feel the first film was the real gem, this was still entertaining. It didn't have that 'new kid to the game' feel anymore, and the soundtrack was not as solid as the first. But still a fun watch overall.

Overall: 7.5/10.0
