brain rating
TROY SAYS:

Has some Respectable elements 6.7

"PROs: Good characterization. Some really funny bits of slapstick comedy. Excellent acting and direction. The orgy of pugilism ends up in a witty criticism of violence. Very good hockey footage.

CONs: The languid, rambling pace is further demeaned by utterly stupid levels of senseless profanity. There is never the slightest nod to the Creator who is the only hope of fixing the lives of characters so lost in sin and confusion."
