Reviews
It hits every trope. It's the movie of an out of place kid that has to win over the people in the new city and in the process win the girl. We have seen this before. We saw it in Hocus Pocus, we saw it in Side Out, in North Shore, in Rad, in Thrashin, we saw it in a thousand other films that faithfully honor the trope. And a trope filled film bursting with the cliches of the genera isn't exactly a bad thing. After all, sometimes you just want mindless fun with the guarantee of a happy ending and little else. This film delivers on that... and references Nintendo Hockey, possibly the best sports game ever.
