I took my son to see this film, and found myself totally engrossed in the emotional portrayal of this man and his wife. I thought it was an outstanding film, although at times felt ambushed by the French Canadian political bent to it.

A great film. Enjoyed the story even with the subtitles. A little worried about how political it started to become near the end, but since I wasn`t around at the time, can`t say how accurate that actually was.

Very inspiring. Brings back great memories of hockey when I was growing up in Montreal in the early 60`s. Roy Dupuis is very convincing as The Rocket. A must see for any true hockey enthousiast!

This movie was a most unexpected surprise. I don`t remember a movie which I enjoyed more. So much of the movie resonated with me as a long time Habs fan. The acting and hockey playing seemed so authentic and first rate. The interaction between Maurice and his wife was most moving. When he came home and was able to tell his wife that he had made the team I felt a chill go up my spine and a tear in my eye. Easily the best sports movie I have ever seen.

5 STARS!!! Truly a great film & a wonderful story about a working class man who became a CANADIAN sports icon, and I hope the late "Rocket" could accept that in the nationalist spirit intended. (I grew up a Leaf fan, who was 7 yrs when he retired. Sadly never saw him play. But, knew the significance of the number 9 - his and Howe`s). The movie looks & feels great too. I now understand how it is possible that his image was bronzed in east-end Montreal and why he was so cherished in life & greatly mourned in death. A must see for all Canadians, coast to coast.
