Movie Reviews of Necessary Roughness
Movie Review: "Hiatel (sorry for the spelling) Hernia! Is it fatal? Indigestion? Only in Mexico."
Summary: 5 Stars
What Major League was to baseball, Necessary Roughness is to football. This has to be one of the most underrated comedies. This stars Scott Backula (Quantum Leap, Enterprise), Sinbad, Jason Bateman, Hector Elizondo, Fred Thompson (The senator and from Die Hard 2),Kathy Ireland, Larry Miller (10 Things I Hate About You), and Robert Loggia.
The movie follows a Texas University football team. The program use to be one of the best until they were caught doing some illegal things (illegal recruiting, free passes on grades ect). The whole team except one or two get kicked off the team. Hector Elizondo was asked to rebuild and from the new recruits, it looked like it was going to be a long football season. although no one was complaining when the coaches (Robert Loggia to be exact) recruits kathy Ireland; a soccer player to be the kicker. The dean (Larry Miller) wants him and his team to fail.
All this adds up to nonstop laughter. This is worthy for anyones DVD collection. If you love comedies, this is a good one. The DVD is pretty barebones,
Movie Review: Another forgotten football favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd completely forgotten about Necessary Roughness until taking a day off and finding it on cable in the middle of the morning. I had one of those "oh yeah" moments as I remembered how much my wife and I enjoyed the movie when it first hit the big screen. When the cable movie was over I immediately purchased Necessary Roughness to add to my home library.
If you enjoyed the 2000 pro-football comedy "The Replacements" (another of my favorites) you'll enjoy the 1991 university football comedy "Necessary Roughness." Basically the stories are the same; well known coach seeks out has-been quarterback with issues who falls for an unavailable female and together they all face their challenges so it all works out in the end. Necessary Roughness is just enjoyable entertainment that will deliver the laughs from a variety of characters. Even though it is a 20 year old movie it really has nicely withstood the passage of time.
Movie Review: Just a fun film!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just a warning up front....if you are looking for a serious/real life football movie then move on.
However, if you are intrested in a lighthearted tongue-in-cheek comedy about college football underdogs then this is your movie. This cast may not be considered A-list but they come together as a whole to make a very funny movie. Robert Loggia's half time pep talk during the final game is hilarious! And how much more tongue-in-cheek can you get than a 30 something year old freshman quarterback (Scott Bakula), a female field goal kicker (Kathy Ireland), and a college professor with one year of player eligibility left (Sinbad).
Yes, it is full of cliche's, predictable plot twist, and a cheesy sceen or two. But remember, I warned you if you want a serious football movie to look elsewhere. But, if you want a fun to watch/feel good comedy about an underdog earning respect then this is your movie.
Movie Review: Necessary Roughness
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie years ago and loved it. I still do. This movie has all the comedy and fun that you could want, along with a little romance and a happy ending. I don't think there are many people who would not enjoy this movie.
I would not say this movie is realistic but it's no less believable than most others. The characters are loveable and you love to hate the bad guys.
