Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture As the brutality ramps up, and the story gains real consequence, for some reason, we actually laugh harder. Goon is a comedy, often a very funny one, but you might be hesitant to call it that once you've actually seen it. Jan 8, 2013 Full Review A.A. Dowd Time Out Chicago A disarmingly sweet descendant of the blood-on-the-ice classic Slap Shot. Rated: 4/5 Jan 8, 2013 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Exuberantly off-color, bloody, and frequently laugh-'til-you-choke hilarious. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 27, 2012 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review What stays with you is how lovably awkward and warm-hearted Scott manages to be in this role. Rated: 3/4 Dec 4, 2022 Full Review Ed Travis Hollywood Jesus Utimately, Goon succeeds even within the comfortable criteria set forth by dozens of sports films that have come before it. Mar 31, 2020 Full Review David Harris Spectrum Culture Scott tries his best with the material but he has been abandoned by his team on this one. Rated: 2/5 Nov 8, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Benjamin E Great movie and Scott nailed this role. The video star friend on the other hand is pretty annoying but if you tune him out its a great watch Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Jason O Didn't hear of this once in my life, till I stumbled upon it, definitely deserves more recognition. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/28/24 Full Review Damon S one of my favourite films... give it a chance Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/07/24 Full Review cbcguy Great sports comedy, real funny and the payoff for the final fight was worth the buildup. Was refreshing to see Sean William Scott not playing a Stifler type role, even though his comedic performances are always great. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Nathan H Absolutely adore this movie. for a full review visit Trees in Space on YouTube.
