The cover art / poster of this movie is misleading. The sexed-up girl in front stages it like a raunchy buddy comedy.
It ain't Slap Shot, but it sure has some humorous moments. I liked it very much.
I saw this film at the festival and it was just so bad that people walked out. I watch a lot of movies and I have never once walked out of a film but I was so bored and even literally offended by how bad the jokes in this movie were that I almost walked out.
Ever since Trailer Park Boys, everyone in Canada has been trying to copy it and failing big time. This movie steals all it's ideas and "jokes" from multiple sources, everything from TPB to an Atom and His Package song.
The VIFF reviews page at Third Row or whatever the publication is called hit the nail right on the head when they call this "a sad little comedy". Except I don't think the word comedy should even apply, does a film count as a comedy simply for trying to be a comedy or should it at least be funny at some point?
...but I was pleasantly surprised.
This movie was a pleasant surprise. Unlike the poor reviews given by previous IMDb critics, Puck Hogs was silly, sophomoric, and just plain funny.
