Rating:  - Football Funnies
Usually I'm not a fan of football movies but this is one of the better ones. It had some great moments both funny and heavy. It's fun to see what the stars looked like then.
Rating:  - I thought you were gonna do one of "these"...
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.

Rating: - When you want to kick back...
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!
Rating: - FOOTBALL MOVIE HAS SOME KICKS
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.
