Finished the script by Jay Baruchel and Evan Goldberg.
The script has heart. The duo have created a likeable character in Doug. A simple man whose only skill in life is knocking people out. Doug makes his way to the hockey minor leagues and starts to gain a cult-like status as a goon.
The script has its moments however, it's not fully realized. Doug isn't a good hockey player. He can barely stay upright on his skates. All he's good for is fighting. Shouldn't the script arrive at a moment where Doug realizes fighting's only going to get him so far? That he can't live life being a goon? Shouldn't there be a moment where he turns away from fighting?
They've written a lead without a character arc. When that happens, your lead comes across flat and boring after awhile since there isn't any growth.
The script has heart. Now, they have to surround it with a body. The way its written now, the film will not crossover and be a huge hit.
