With a simple storyline using the typical cinderella team approach, Slap Shot 3 doesn't really impress. But there are so many references in the one what it's impossible has an original movie fan to not smile multiple times: Dickie Dunn Jr/III, Dexter the dog, the racetrack, etc. Even the original theme song is there. Worth the 90 minutes just for the memorabilia!

4.5 is too generous of a rating for Slap Shot 3! I bought Slap Shot 3 from the cheap movie bin at Sears! I had low movie expectations, which were overwhelmingly met! The script is unoriginal. Save the orphanage from an evil developer. There is few laughs and Slap shot 3 has noting similar to the movie series, except for a few references. A few cameo appearances. The hockey scenes where stale and uninspiring. Slap Shot 3 was on the penalty kill the whole time, and gave up too many goals. Slap Shot 3 is not a hat trick. Slap Shot 3 also equal my rating of 3 out of 10. Stay away from this plus minus movie which is definitely in the minus.

Ignore the hundreds of poor reviews. This movie really stands up.
