The Netflix Instant You Might Have Missed: ‘Goon’
‘Goon’ is a new addition to Netflix that was recently in theaters. The only problem was that it had a pretty limited theatrical run. Still, we tried telling you to see it on On Demand and in theaters way back in our original review months ago! If you missed it, you only had yourselves to blame! But now you get a chance to redeem yourself, because ‘Goon’ has just been added to Netflix Instant and you can toss this one in your instant queue.
This movie is actually an apaptation of ‘Goon: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey into Minor League Hockey’ by Adam Frattasio and Doug Smith. The main plot depicts an exceedingly nice but somewhat dimwitted man who becomes the enforcer for a minor league ice hockey team. It was written by Jay Baruchel (‘Knocked Up’) and Evan Goldberg (‘Superbad’) and starring Sean William Scott (come on…it’s Stiffler), Allison Pine (‘Scott Pilgrim vs The World’) and Liev Schreiber (‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’). This movie is honestly hilarious and you won’t be mad at yourself for watching it.
