Movie Review: FOOTBALL MOVIE HAS SOME KICKS
Summary: 4 Stars
NECESSARY ROUGHNESS is one of those root for the underdog sports movies generated in the nineties. This one, since it is not based on true events, takes a lot of liberties and has some improbable plot twists, but it has some genuinely funny moments and its cast seems up to its task of making it all seem believable. Scott Bakula stars as a 34 year old farmer who missed his opportunity to go to college and play football when his father died and he opted to take over the business. He is given a second chance when he is recruited by his former coach Robert Loggia. Loggia and fellow coach Hector Elizondo have some fun moments, and Larry Miller is perfect as the football-hating obnoxious dean. Harley Jane Kozak is the journalism teacher who carries an old flame for Bakula and the rest of the cast including Sinbad, Kathy Ireland, Jason Bateman and Rob Schneider fill out their roles well. Some fast and furious football action with predictable results makes for an entertaining sports movie.Movie Review: I thought you were gonna do one of "these"...
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an old favorite of mine, when it comes to sports comedies. There is something about the way it all came together for this movie that keeps it from getting "tired" over time.
We've all seen the story of the underdog team of misfit athletes that band together to overcome the odds... but it works in this movie, with this cast, and it works very well. The team doesn't "win it all" this time around. They simply prove themselves to be legitimate against seemingly insurmountable odds, which lends credibility to the film, rather than having it play out like so many other sports movies.
Bakula does a great job playing quarterback Paul Blake. His supporting cast is also excellent. This is a great comedy and I highly recommend it.
Movie Review: For the football conisseurs!
Summary: 4 Stars
If you're a fan of football,whether it's high school,college, NFL,two of the three,or all three,this film is for you. Scott Bakula,at the time of production,the star of TV's Quantum Leap,stars as one of the players for the college football team seen in this film. Many other cast members aren't well-known,those being Hector Elizondo as one of the coaches,Robert Loggia as one of the other coaches,Kathy Ireland as the team's first and only female player and Harley Jane Kozak who's Bakula's love interest. Comedian Sinbad appears in the film also as another player. In the last scene of the film,the team,as usual defeats their opponent team. Cool film!Movie Review: This one is a guilty pleasure
Summary: 4 Stars
Look there are some very good sports movies out there and most of them are so serious that they are boring. This is one of those sports movies in the vein of MAJOR LEAGUE or THE REPLACEMENTS that when it shows up on tv, you can't help but watch it. Now I am from Texas so this movie takes on special meaning to me and that makes it funnier. Heck sit back and root for this bunch of loveable loosers. Enjoy the comic slam at the college administrators. Scott Bakula is an under appreciated comic actor and Sinbad is a hoot. So just watch it and "PARTAY!"Movie Review: When you want to kick back...
Summary: 4 Stars
Always been a Scott Bakula fan, but this movie -- which also stars Sinbad -- is a great one! The language and some bedroom scenes makes it inappropriate for kids, but when you want a movie to get your mind of things...this is a good one!
