She might be good - looking, but her role as a strong female figure is never weakened by it, even when
romantic subplots begin rising from the woodwork.
Once I realigned my expectations with the reality of the movie, I
began to enjoy myself — though there wasn't as much hockey as I'd hoped (more on that in a minute), the
romantic subplot, between Doug, and self - professed slut and lover of the violence of hockey, Eva (Alison Pill) captured my interest, not for its sweetness or charm, which it had, but because Eva was quirky, but in a realistic manner.
As well, a
subplot follows a strained
romantic relationship that includes implied sexual activity (a man and woman
begin undressing each other), along with some sexual references and innuendo.
