any hockey fan will love this movie. They stayed true to the real story, the actors are terrific. If someone doesn't put this in my stocking this Christmas I will be shocked.

Comes out tomorrow, eh? Hmmm. I didn't know that. I work at a place where I can take books and movies home for a few days. I guess The Rocket slipped through the cracks. I borrowed it nearly two weeks ago, and I watched it last week Wednesday (Nov. 29).

Not a bad show. I think that there was so much story to tell that the movie could've easily been 3 hours. I enjoyed it and I wanted more, though I have seen much better movies. Nearly every line is spoken in french. There are a few of the english speaking characters that speak english, but for all of the people who speak french, there is subtitles.

After watching The Rocket I had a better understanding of how good a player he was, and why he was so popular. I got an understanding of not just The Rocket, but of Maurice Richard the person.

It's cheapest online from Chapters, and they get it out to you in a couple of day's.
