Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
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.

fresh:
There are still some nice touches of absurdist satirical wit hanging out along the sidelines, given extra bite by Dede Allen's superbly pacy editing.

fresh:
Slap Shot has a kind of vitality to it that overwhelms most of the questions relating to consistency of character and point of view.

rotten:
Half the time Hill invites the audience to get off on the mayhem, the other half of the time he decries it.
