Quite frankly, this movie isn't nearly as bad as the critical film community make it out to be. It's a very familiar story of an underdog sports team, yes, but what makes it original is the small town drama that unfolds - not to mention the surprisingly crude humour. Honestly, "Mystery" is just simple fun and worth a watch once in a while. Beautiful Albertan landscapes and pond hockey - what's not to love?
