This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Okay, I've always been one of those "The sequel is NEVER as good as the original" people, but let me tell you what: Slap Shot 2: Breaking the Ice is the exception to that rule.I'll probably get laughed at for this, but the original Slap Shot does not even compare to this cinematic work of art, which is probably one of the best sequels to ever come out of Hollywood (as is Speed 2: Cruise Control).Paul Newman's performance in the original Slap Shot does not hold a candle to the fine acting portrayed by the charming Stephen Baldwin. Stephen wowed us all with his role as Barney Rubble in The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, and he strikes again in this movie, proving that he really is Hollywood's Sequel King.As if Baldwin wasn't enough reason to see this film, you have an all-star cast including A-list celebrity Gary Busey. Some are skeptical of Busey's talent, but come on: Rookie of the Year? The Gingerdead Man? The guy's got a resume that can't be topped by anyone in Hollywood, except for maybe his son Jake (of Road House 2: Last Call fame) who obviously got the "acting gene" from his dad! I own this movie on both VHS and DVD, and am anxiously awaiting the Blu-Ray release.Please pick up this movie - you will not be disappointed. Better yet, it's fun for the whole family, so you can share this film with your children. (My boys of 15 and 17 LOVE it.) So pop that popcorn, take a seat, and get set for some cinematic GOAL-D!

This is a fun, enjoyable film that captures some of the essence of being a hockey player. It tries to continue the first movie but has a lighter feel to it (less drama). They tried to make similar characters to the original SlapShot instead of new unique characters and some of that feels awkward - especially the sex-obsessed character. He's a little tacked on and the T&A wasn't needed. The Hansons are older but still wild and entertaining. All in all, this is a film that left me smiling and is an essential movie to have on the shelf of any hockey fan.This film does make some meaningful jabs at the entertainment industry and the inability for "bigwigs" to understand what people really want to see. It's like they were seeing into the future of what the NHL is becoming, and showing what's wrong with it.The acting is satisfactory. It won't blow your mind, but no one is terrible. Except for a couple T&A scenes and a little swearing, it could even be a good kids movie.

I'm a huge fan of the first movie. And watch it every chance i get on cable. And had no idea there was a sequel till i saw it on AMC recently. I said to myself, what the heck. I'll give it a lookover. I noticed from the IMDb profile that they got the original Hanson brothers to play there roles. And they really look the same. I didn't recognize no one else from the original. Baldwin and the rest of this cast are terrible. There's nothing funny or even interesting here. Its a terrible movie in every way and form. And Stephen Balwin as the captain? You could of cast Pauly Shore and make it more believable. If there was going to be a sequel it should of been done right after the original. Maybe have them moving to Florida like the Newman made up in the first movie. When was this in the theater if at all? I keep up on new movies, whether in the theater or made for cable. This one must be thee old- straight to video cat.

Sequel yes, why? Who knows but if you take this movie into it's own little world and try and not link it to the first movie (which I must admit can be hard, with the original Hanson Brothers still on the same minor league ice hockey team) try not to think of it has a sequel because it will spoil the first one for you.The first one was a cult classic hit for sport movies. But this one, isn't exactly the worst sport movie I've ever seen. The hockey probably wasn't enough to keep sport movie fans attentions, but it did have enough for the non sport lovers to actually think "oooh violence on ice-not bad" a little go ;)Callum Keith Rennie (an astounded Canadian actor - who probably signed for this film because of the first ones status and a film about ice hockey) is slightly wasted in this movie. We can see him in other roles that show of his natural talents as a brilliant actor, but playing Palmberg, it was enough to keep watching and laughing.A female coach... ohhh not really that much of a plot twister... and Stephen Baldwin's screen performance wasn't exactly fantastic.I think people reacted badly to this film because of the first one. They should never have plainly labelled it as a sequel as the "straight to DVD" shows how much it was liked by audiences (it just wasn't.)But I had four of my wisdom teeth removed the weekend I rented this and it kept me occupied long enough to forget about the big open wounds in my gums, so really, give this film a chance. You can laugh, if you can just get over the fact that this film is a sequel. - :)
