Good family friendly movie.

Good family friendly movie. The plot was a little cheesy, but not too over the top. Typical predictable story line, but isn't that the case with most movies anymore? It was interesting to see the anti American sentiment portrayed in a non-American film. How accurate was that to the actual events...I don't know.

Sports movies typically fall flat on their face trying to create dramatic action sequences. The casual viewer may buy it, but an actual player will say "that's so fake". This movie did a fairly good job IMO.

Goof: Not a spoiler because this has nothing to do with the plot. When discussing their "favorite game" the one kid says "1980 in Lake Placid, US vs Russia for the gold medal". This wasn't the gold medal game.

Kind of goof: There is a scene where the hockey coaches are taking slap shots and their shots are brutal. Either have someone stand in for that scene, or frame the scene so you don't see their shots. The camera angle was from the other end of the rink and behind them, so it would have been easy. Maybe the actors aren't hockey players? That's fine. Just modify the scene.
