 | Looking at this movie, one wonders if anyone involved in the production had EVER seen a hockey game. The "action" moves at a snail's pace and I really don't think there's a league out there that lets two players hold what looks like a boxing match at centre ice. The only redeeming quality of "Youngblood" is the scenes that are so bad they're funny - specifically, any time that a young Keanu Reeves tries to speak in a french accent. This movie is truly terrible, the hockey scenes are a joke and the plot is as cliched as they come. If you want to see hockey in a movie, even "The Mighty Ducks" is better than this. |

| As much as I wanted to hate a hockey movie with Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze in it when it came out, it wasn't actually as bad as I thought it would be. The scenes on the ice are laughable, not just for the obscene WWF style fighting (even the minor leagues aren't this bad, and Canadian major junior, while having more fights than in American HS hockey, is nothing like the minor leagues), but with that ridiculous scene with Lowe and Swayze skating around in a circle and passing back and forth to each other. What was actually pretty accurate were all the scenes off the ice (at least the ones involving the team; I won't comment on the stupid love story). The locker room scenes and those in the bars are pretty dead on. Plus, the movie features future NHLers Peter Zezel and Steve Thomas when they were still in juniors as members of Rob Lowe's team (both were playing for the Toronto Marlboros when the movie was filmed). I think Zezel actually has a line! Plus, seeing Keanu Reeves pretend to have a French-Canadian accent is "worth the price of admission" alone. |

| Ever since the first time I saw this movie. I wanted to buy it. I have been searching for it for a long time and now I finally found it and bought it without hesitation. It is an awesome hockey movie that is perfect for any hockey fan |
