I was surprised to know that Goon had had a sequel so I decided to check it out. It definitely lacks the heart of the first one. Here we see a beaten Doug, trying to find the spirit to lift himself up after he's been taken out of his hockey team. Now he has a brutal rival, who's the one that injures him and leaves him out of the field. The secondary characters are pretty much up to the same business as the last movie, not all that funny I must add. So the only real interest lies in Doug and the relationship with Eva, and their soon- to-be born child, and small comedic moments by Jay Baruchel and Elisha Cuthbert (whom I hadn't see in a movie in a far long time).
Other than that, this sequel has very little to offer, it entertains only on certain moments, and it kind of diminishes the great story that the first film brought to the screen.
I still enjoyed to see Doug struggling with adulthood, with him realizing that he has to grow up in order to help Eva to raise their kid. If you watched Goon, make sure you watch this so you can know how Doug Glatt's story continues. If not, well I'm sure you can find better things to watch.
