About Goon

Goon is a 2011 sports comedy film directed by Michael Dowse and written by Jay Baruchel and Evan Goldberg, based on the autobiography Goon: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey into Minor League Hockey by Adam Frattasio and Douglas Smith. Starring Seann William Scott, Liev Schreiber, Jay Baruchel, Alison Pill, Marc-André Grondin, Kim Coates, and Eugene Levy, the film follows Doug "The Thug" Glatt (Scott), an exceedingly nice but slightly dimwitted bouncer who unexpectedly finds personal and professional fulfillment after becoming the enforcer for the Halifax Highlanders, a minor league ice hockey team, as he prepares to face off against Ross "The Boss" Rhea (Schreiber), the legendary enforcer for the St. John's Shamrocks.
