Movie Reviews of National Lampoon's Pucked
Movie Review: It could have been a lot worse
Summary: 3 Stars
After receiving 208 unsolicited and pre-approved credit cards in the mail, unemployed dreamer Frank (Jon Bon Jovi) decides to use the cards to finance his latest idea - a women's ice-hockey league. However, Frank runs into trouble when the credit card companies finally catch up with him and charge him with fraud.
"National Lampoon's Pucked" is a "bad" movie. You probably already know that. I knew it before I even purchased this DVD. With the exception of the "Vacation" movies, pretty much every movie with the words "National Lampoon's" in the title is a B-grade movie made on a low-budget using second-rate actors and a second-rate script, and "Pucked" is no exception. However, unlike some of the other "National Lampoon" movies, "Pucked" somehow manages to work.
The cast of "Pucked" is made up of a bunch of has-beens and never-beens, but among them are Jon Bon Jovi, Curtis Armstrong (Booger from "Revenge of the Nerds"), David Faustino (Bud from "Married with Children") and Cary Elwes. Sure, none of them are top actors anymore (if they ever were), but they all commit to the material that they are working with and through their belief in their characters and enthusiasm, manage to sell their characters to the audience. Similarly, the script of this film is certainly no Oscar contender, but it is well structured (better structured than "Twilight", which I saw the same day) and is surprisingly funny. Within the first 15 minutes there's a fight between Jon Bon Jovi and a midget! What more could you ask for?
If you have ever liked any of the actors in this film, or just want to switch off your brain for 83 minutes and watch some mindless entertainment, then this film is worth a try. Don't expect too much, but don't expect to be bored either.
Summary of National Lampoon's Pucked
National Lampoons is at its hilarious best with their latest comedy classic, Pucked starring Jon Bon Jovi and David Faustino (TV's Married with Children). Frank Hopper (Bon Jovi) is a former lawyer, long-term loser and constant dreamer - and frankly, probably just not all that bright. When he receives a credit card in the mail, he believes he's hit the jackpot. It's not long before he's working his way toward financing his dream - an all-woman hockey team. He's also put himself in debt to the tune of more than $300,000. Naturally, he winds up in court when his plan backfires.Comedy DVD Video
