Slap Shot Ratings & Reviews
- chris.8898August 17, 2025Enjoyable with good pacing and quite a chaotic scripting style. It’s a real snapshot of the time, also focusing on the subculture of ice hockey behind the game. If you’re into the sport (which I am), this’ll put a smile on your face. It may look like a seventies porn film from the surface, but at the heart, there’s some real substance. Minus half-point for lack of slap-shots to justify the title.
- mickerdooJuly 13, 2025Pretty hilarious hockey flick. Paul Newman is the man. The Hanson Brothers are an awesome trio.

- Mister ArnMay 17, 2025Paul Newman's captivating blue eyes and effortless charisma bring a certain charm to this film, making it a pleasant viewing experience. Though its portrayal of hockey may be exaggerated and bordering on theatrical, it doesn't quite reach the point of laugh-out-loud comedy. Nevertheless, the film's entertaining qualities make it engaging and enjoyable for those who appreciate a lighthearted take on the sport.
