Goon

Goon is a smart aleck hockey comedy about a guy named Glatt (Sean William Scott) who gets picked up by a minor league team despite the fact that he has little to no actual hockey playing ability. He does, however, have a head of iron, a fist of steel and an IQ hovering around the same level as his jersey number, which makes him perfect to be the enforcement goon of the team. As played by Scott, Glatt also has something not associated with professional athletes these days: ethics. Glatt doesn’t see what he does as violence, at least in a negative sense of the word. He sees what he does as his job and, for a guy who was desperately trying to find his place in the world, having a job and being really, really good at it is all he’s ever really wanted.
