Slap Shot Reviews
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Easily the greatest hockey film ever made.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Slap Shot has a kind of vitality to it that overwhelms most of the questions relating to consistency of character and point of view.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Its moral pretenses left me cold.
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
Raw, raunchy, and absolutely hilarious.
ColeSmithey.com
Cole Smithey
[VIDEO ESSAY] "Slap Shot" is a sports movie that revels in details of milieu, plot and character. Smokestacks billow white plumes from a perpetually overcast industrial skyline. Everything is old and weather beaten. Every victory is tainted.
Sarasota Herald-Tribune
Christopher Lloyd
Often raucously funny and subversive, Slap Shot is one of the few sports movies that is openly contemptuous of its sport, or at least the modern state of it.
Rolling Stone
Dan Epstein
Slap Shot remains the greatest sports flick of the 1970s.
Washington Post
Gary Arnold
Newman is literally a diamond in the rough, and it requires a certain forebearance to separate his quality from the surrounding raunch.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
Slap Shot may have done a lot of fast skating and some solid body checking, but in the last period it makes a final costly slip -- and misses its goal.
Parallax View
Richard T. Jameson
One of the film's unexpected bonanzas is a clutch of beautifully realized female roles.
New Yorker
Pauline Kael
What holds the picture together is the warmth supplied by Paul Newman. As Reggie, the player-coach of the Chiefs, a minor-league ice-hockey team, he gives the performance of his life -- to date.
Crooked Marquee
Sean Burns
Newman's breeziest, most waggishly charming role.
The Barb (Atlanta)
Steve Warren
Believe it or not, this leads to a moral ending, and provides a lot of laughs along the way, mostly involving foul play or foul language.
Tilt Magazine
Stephen Silver
Its the best movie ever made about its sport; you can have your Miracle. (45th anniversary)
Movie Nation
Roger Moore
The more time passes, the more this "Slap Shot" seems wide of the net.
25YL (25 Years Later)
Don Shanahan
A rough-housing comedy where any resulting penalty minutes for poor conduct are unabashed and even heralded.
Gannett News Service
Bernard Drew
Director George Roy Hill has contrived to keep the cameras and players in almost constant motion in the funny and energetic film.
Los Angeles Free Press
Ruth Batchelor
Nancy Dowd's (first) script is so clear and chockfull of realities in the sports world that it makes me want to stand up and cheer:
Variety
Half the time Hill invites the audience to get off on the mayhem, the other half of the time he decries it.
