...more gag writers. Its early reels rely too heavily on the conceit that medieval Norsemen spoke with a Scots accent, and the other teens in Hiccup's dragon-training class never surmount their stereotypes.

Lou, on the other hand, is a rude, crude alcoholic whose nickname is the Violator - a man it would be a brilliant idea to grow apart from - but he's also the impetus for the reunion. After a sodden night on the town, Lou passes...
