Member Movie Reviews K. K. (GAMER) Reviewed on 12/28/2023... Was not expecting much from this but this feels like a true story was pretty awesome! Lots of great actors! A must watch!  Sharon F. (Shar) from AVON PARK, FL Reviewed on 5/4/2019... I wasn't sure about watching this movie because I'm not a sports fan, but I'm SO glad I did! What a GREAT movie. Just goes to show you that you have to give everything a chance...just like they did in the movie. I loved the fact that the entire town was behind the skaters and they never gave up on their goal and idea. Made me root, root, root for the hometown!!! If you want to watch a funny and feel-good movie, take the time and watch this one. 1 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful. Michel D. (michelann) from WALNUT GROVE, MO Reviewed on 4/6/2019... You do not have to be a huge hockey fan to love this movie! Casting and writing is excellent! A great story of small town dedication and commitment makes for a very enjoyable evening of movie watching with a great ending... and not exactly what may be expected! 1 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful. Kathy J. from GLENDORA, CA Reviewed on 5/26/2010... A town of eccentric characters play pond hockey every week. Some of the town's officials choose who will play in the "Saturday game". Wonderful movie with some very funny moments. 2 of 2 member(s) found this review helpful.
Movie ReviewsMystery, Alaska is the place to be! Caroline P. Hampton | Columbus, Ohio USA | 09/23/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "This charming film didn't get the positive praise it deserved. It was absolutely wonderful. The small Alaskan town of "Mystery" has a quirky "Northern Exposure" feel to it, and a wonderful ensemble cast add a lot of fun and games. The "Saturday" hockey game leads off this fairy-tale story of David vs. Goliath, as their hometown boys go against the NHL'S New York Rangers. Former "townie" Hank Azaria starts this whole thing by writing a spotlight on the "Saturday Game" for Sports Illustrated and well.. Mystery is never the same after that. Russell Crowe turns in a great performance as "slightly older" town Sherif John Biebe, who is the heart and soul of the much younger hockey team. There are many wonderful smaller performances by faces you'll certainly know and love. It's a wonderfully sweet, charming and funny (with classic one liners from MANY of the young players) movie that only HAPPENS to be about hockey. There is so much more to it. You don't have to know a thing about hockey to appreciate this fun and lighthearted movie. It's right up there with my all-time favs. Definatley worth a look!" Genuinely fun movie Hollis Boyd | Bethesda, Maryland | 09/01/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "I rented this DVD having never even heard of the movie.But after having watched it, Mystery, Alaska has become one of my favorite movies. This enjoyable tale about a town full of eccentric, hockey-obsessed people, moves along at a nice, steady pace. Unlike many movies these days, Mystery, Alaska doesn't rush through important plot points. When a former neighbor returns home bringing the New York Rangers to play against Mystery's legendary hockey team, the town sheriff, recently bumped from the team for a younger player who's got "jump", agrees to coach. The members of the team are fleshed out well by an ensemble cast of virtual unknowns, with the exception of Russell Crowe. The ending is exciting, and surprisingly unpredictable. For me, the actor that stole the show was Ryan Northcott, a barely credited character, who plays the pivotal role of the high school skating whiz who takes Russell Crowe's place on the team. He has a couple of the most amusing, and embarassing, scenes in the movie, and handles them with humor and grace. Overall, Mystery, Alaska was a funny, enjoyable movie that I recommend to everyone. You don't have to be a hockey fan to love Mystery, Alaska." Mystery Alaska Kelly | Littleton, Colorado | 03/30/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "I wasn't sure if I would like this movie because I do not like Russell Crowe at all. The only reason I agreed to sit through it was that the rest of the ensemble cast was so good. I ended up enjoying this film. Who doesn't like a film where you can root for the underdog? The hockey team in Mystery, Alaska ends up playing an exhibition game against the New York Rangers. Everyone has the same question - can they compete? This is a movie that can appeal to many because while there are some very funny moments, there is also a lot of drama.
