Summary: A great film
Review: All of the charaters are likeable in their own way. Scott is a great actor who I always enjoy watching. It doesn't quite follow the pattern of other sports films, and I don't agree that it's unrealistic. All they are doing is trying to win, and you will be as pleased as they are when they do.

Summary: Average at best
Review: I like a good sports movie as much as anyone, particularly when it involves an underdog. "Necessary Roughness" features a huge underdog -- a cheating Texas college forced to play football without scholarship players. With Scott Bakula as the aging quarterback and Kathy Ireland as the kicker, how can you miss?Well, the characters are paper thin, and the dialogue should be familiar -- it features every cliche ever used in the history of sports movies. Still, there is some value is seeing Ireland on-screen, and Bakula is hard to dislike. Most memorable: Rob Schneider's hilarious calls from the pressbox (fumble...fumbleaya...fumblerooski). Just don't look for too intelligence out of "Necessary Roughness," because it simply isn't there.

Summary: My favorite football movie
Review: I saw this movie on some random cable network one day when I was sick in bed. I couldn't stop laughing. The story is of course lame, but it's a comedy so that can be forgiven. Robert Loggia's halftime speech in the final game is halarious. The list of b-list actors will keep you laughing. Go 'dillos!

Summary: For the football conisseurs!
Review: 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!

Summary: It's a fun movie...plain and simple
Review: In the tradition of movies like SLAP SHOT and MAJOR LEAGUE, NECESSARY ROUGHNESS is nothing more than an unrealistic sports movie that's extremely fun to watch (and that's exactly what it's supposed to be). It has all of the right elements...slapstick comedy, hard-hitting action, and an underdog college football team tempting fate with a great-looking placekicker! For heaven's sake, don't take this movie for more than it's worth...two hours of non-stop fun!

Summary: Necessary Entertainment!
Review: It seems that now critics are even entering the football realm. My knowledge of what makes a film great, differs greatly from the so called critics, I even thought Saving Private Ryan was best picture. I do know football though, and none of them can mach my understanding of this great game. Yes, the film is far fetched, but what film isn't? Iron man football, going both ways, is difficult to do, but many high-schools across the country have to do so in order to field a large enough team to compete. What this film does, that so few others can, is lift your spirits above the playing field. Appriciation for the integrity of college athletics is the underlying aspect of this film, without sounding contrite. The realism comes from the fact that they are simply trying to win a game, not a national championship. Success is all too often measured in wins, this film measures it in laughs and good feelings. I watch this film every August, to get in the mood for football season. I reccomend that every football lover does the same. P.S. this would be easier to do if it were in DVD format, hint hint!

Summary: Pretty bad, though some nice scenery (I don't mean Kathy I.)
Review: It's really not a good movie in spite of some decent cast members such as Elizondo, Bakula, et al. In fact, about the only real reason I would ever watch it a second time is to see scenes of the campus -- and only because it was my alma mater, University of North Texas.

Summary: This is an entertaining family film
Review: Mr. Bakula is his engaging self in this roll and, while it might insult the critics, I thought it a fun film...something the whole family can watch, enjoy and be entertained by. Hey, every now and then people actually want to enjoy a movie without getting teary or "deep". Well worth the rental or purchase!
