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.
Movie Review: Not to bad, one of the better Lampoon adventures of recent.
Summary: 3 Stars
After a few absolute horrible movies from National Lampoon's (Pledge this, Van Wilder 2 to name a couple), Pucked is not to shabby. And, good or bad, Jon Bon Jovi Stars in this with David Fastano, (Bud from married with Children). It is a comedy about a former lawyer turned dreamer that for over 10 years gave up his great leagal career for creativity and some failed business adventers eg. professional women's mall mud wrestling. Well, by magical chance and by filling out a "survey", John bon jovi character receives a pre-approved credit card...and many more follow. His Current dream, the World wide Women's hockey league. Unfortunately, his finacial backer's fall through...and the ones he eventually uses are just plastic, if you know what I mean. The movie revolves around a court hearing for him against his creditors. Not great, but not the worst in the National lampoon's catalog. One thing, in here they make a statement that the WNBA is successful, and thats why he's starting women's hocky...The WNBA may be getting better since I last checked, but For years was a big red mark on the ledgers NBA...so this guy really is a dreamer. Oh well, enjoyable, worth a viewing.Movie Review: Good message

This movie is not bad for a National Lampoon. The message is good.Movie Review: Ah Jon, what happened?
Summary: 2 Stars
Yes, I bought this movie because Jon Bon Jovi was in it. My male friends wanted to watch it for the T&A factor, and we all love a good bad movie. This one, unfortunately, missed the mark on all of it. The story was boring and predictable, no T&A (except for the deleted scenes where there was way too much of it.) Bon Jovi and Faustino actually did a pretty good job, they made their characters somewhat likable and charismatic, but the script was worse than your usual National Lampoon fare. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.
