Movie Review: Hockey Night
Summary: 4 Stars
I have loved this movie since the first time I saw it in the 80's. I recently bought the DVD and was disappointed to discover that they had edited the movie. This movie is about as tame as it gets so I'm not sure why they felt it necessary to do this. The parts they took out made the movie seem a bit choppy. There is not a notation stating that this movie is edited on any of the current listings or on the DVD itself - so beware. It seems as though this should be a requirement. If you want to view this movie in it's entirety, then you should purchase the VHS which is not edited.Movie Review: Appalling chop-job to good movie

I remember watching this movie as a teenager two decades ago and loving it, but could not recall exact scenes or lines. Recently, after reading the Amazon customer reviews about the difference between the original VHS movie and the edited "Feature Films for Families" DVD, I actually bought them both to compare. I must say I agree with the people who were aghast at how much of the original had been cut out. I was particularly astonished to see that parts that were completely "family appropriate" - such as Kathy's exchange about hockey with her mother's date at the dinner table - were snipped. WHY? It made Kathy's darting from the table seem like a complete and confusing overreaction.
I can understand if "Feature Films for Families" wanted to remove the "herpes" comment and the scene involving underage drinking. But they tinkered all over the place. How does a film company obtain permission to (essentially) kidnap a movie and butcher it like this??
Movie Review: Hockey Night Disappointment
Summary: 3 Stars
Hockey Night is a wonderful movie. My husband and I taped it during the 80's and played it so much that the tape finally gave out. We were very excited that there was a DVD version of the movie until we purchased it and found out that the movie had been dramatically edited. It was not advertised nor labeled as an edited version and the portions of the movie that were removed were poorly edited and done so with no taste. When originally aired this was an after school "family" PG 13 movie made in Canada. The unedited version of the movie was a true to life uplifting story. The edited version removes reference to actual reality and what life is all about. We would like our money back since this movie is falsely advertised. If Family TV company who creates these DVD's owns rights to this movie and others then they should make an "unedited" version available.Movie Review: They edited a movie I use to love

I can't believe how much they cut from this movie. The took out the drinking, they took out some funny line all to make this movie a learning lesson for some family movie company. There was nothing really bad about the parts they took out. Why mess with something that was more real than what they left in. I was disappointed with the edited version. This refers to the DVD VERSION by FamilyTV.comMovie Review: Was a wonderful movie before it was all chopped up for this DVD
Summary: 2 Stars
I remember watching this when it came out. It was such a great movie. Don't buy this DVD. All the humor was taken out and it was left boring and disjointed. Most of the really cute parts are completely gone! Not worth the money. I hope they put the original version out on DVD someday. It really was a great story.
