This week's Pass or Fail is a two-fer! Eugene Levy and Sean William Scott have two movies coming out this year, and I'm going to judge the living crap out of them!
Pass: American Reunion
I put this on my fifteen must see films of 2012, and with each new trailer I want to see it more. This trailer looks like it has taken everything great about the first three films, and rolled them into one movie. I absolutely love that the franchise is in the hands of the two men responsible for the "Harold and Kumar" series. They created a wonderful group of films on their own, so it's no wonder they're bringing their brand of heart-filled gross-out humor to a series that is flailing due to a string of mediocre straight-to-video sequels. With the whole cast returning to have a go at it, I'm more than excited to see this movie.
Fail: The Goon
I know most people only like hockey to watch a fight break out, but the idea behind this movie is just ridiculous. A man is put on a semi-pro hockey team just because he punches things really hard. Jay Burachel co-stars, and also co-wrote the film, as what appears to be some hockey-nut-talk-show-host who is best friends with Scott. There is a joke about the number 69 in the trailer that would be a little funny, if it wasn't cut short by Burachel pointing out how funny it is, but this hardly the only unfunny joke in the trailer. Let's not forget that this was co-written by Evan Goldberg, the man who co-wrote "The Green Hornet" with Seth Rogen.
Extra Pass: Goalie Fight!: Since most people watch hockey for the fights, here is my favorite goalie fight. DiPietro cheap shots Chris Kunitz, so Brent Johnson knocks him out WITH ONE HIT!!!
