I am definitely not a hockey fan, but yet I still find "Mystery, Alaska" a really enjoyable watch.

It's about this small town Mystery in Alaska, where the normal sunny daily temperature is minus 10 degrees, and its array of people staying there. All of its townfolks are passionately engaged in the Saturday morning hockey games on the pond, in which the guys pairs off in two teams that play at a competitive level close to major league.

So when one of the town's local exiles, journalist Chuck Danner wrote a Sports Illustrated magazine cover story of the town 'obsession' with ice hockey, it was the highest highlight for the town. Why even the local schoolteacher got the young students to read it out in class as part of their English lesson.

When the town's mayor was informed that Mystery's boys are offered to play an exhibition game against the New York Rangers, not all are enthusiastic. The local judge and sheriff worry that the town will become a global joke if it loses, but that's not just their only worry. The judge could work towards a better relationship with his son, who refuses to go to college and just wants to play hockey. The sheriff is jealous of his wife's old flame who is just back in town, and even the mayor's wife is having an affair. A small town Mystery may be but it isn't without of the trials and tribulations of the people living in it.

And triumph they did too, putting it all behind them to show the New York Rangers, and the world, of the sterner stuff they are made of.

A truly enjoyable and feel good movie. And some good laughs too. A real 'worth it' for my bucks and Saturday afternoon spent.
