Youngblood [DVD]

Description

Product Description Dean Youngblood (Rob Lowe) is a young hick who emerges from the sticks to try his hand at professional ice hockey. However, he finds initiation into the team particularly rigorous. To make life even more difficult for himself, Dean falls for the daughter of his coach. .co.uk Review Handsome young men whack each other in the face with sticks and learn about life in Youngblood, an enjoyably silly hockey movie. Rob Lowe stars as Dean Youngblood, an American rookie who's been given a shot on a Canadian Junior League hockey team. Sure, he can skate, but can he take a punch? This coming-of-age story is about learning the beauty of vicious hockey fights. No, really. Containing both young-bucks-in-the-locker-room shots and plenty of hockey violence, Youngblood is a surprisingly entertaining cupcake of a movie--there's not much nourishment, but it sure tastes good. Watch for Patrick Swayze as the team's leader and Keanu Reeves in his first film role as the French-Canadian goalie. --Ali Davis
