the script for slap shot 2 break the ice should have be thoroughly review over and over with a fine tooth comb before they start film . it be up against the awesome classic original and the writer and producer know very well that fan of the original slap shot be just thirst for a really funny and good follow up if one be go to be make at all . a control group of viewer who saw the original back in 1977 at the theater should have be consult ( me and for one . ) i be only give this movie a generous 3 star out of 10 and one for each of the hanson brother . they deserve good than this . the message of hockey become too antiseptic and entertainment instead of sport be lose in the mess . i do not like the hockey chick thing with jessica steen play the new female coach and and she have the personality of a doorstop . stephen baldwin must have come very cheap and but doesn not do the bad job . the skating sequence be all blurry and slow mo cheesy and and not use johnstown and pa and instead of vancouver and b. c. for the shooting location be more than sad . by the way and do not the team move to minnesota at the end of the original slap shot . they could have write something hilariously funny into the second one about the hanson brother go home to minnesota . ( note to reader represent steve carlson and jeff carlson be bear and raise in virginia and minnesota . dave hanson be bear in wisconsin . ) if the writer and producer of the original slap shot want to brainstorm for another truly funny and more accurate sequel and they should consult with fan for idea . ( $ 100 dollar bill rain from the sky will happen first before another sequel ever do thanks to this one . ) the bottom line be that moviegoer want more of the hanson brother and old time hockey than this . it would also increase the bottom line $ $ $ and especially if it would have a theatrical release and and not be release straight to video ( kiss of death . ) .
