Product Description
Due to NCAA sanctions, the Texas State University Fightin' Armadillos must form a football team from their actual student body, with no scholarships to help, to play their football schedule. With fewer players than most teams, the makeshift team must overcome obstacles that the best teams in the country couldn't deal with. Using a 34 year old quarterback, a female place-kicker and a gang of misfits, Ed "Straight Arrow" Genero must take his team to play the number one Texas Colts.

 "Hiatel (sorry for the spelling) Hernia! Is it fatal? Indigestion? Only in Mexico." April 3, 2008
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,
Just a fun film! January 21, 2008
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.
Its a cute show September 10, 2007
Scott Bakula is great as he is in anything he does. It is a unique show as it isn't about the winning so much as becoming a team. It has some very funny scenes and it is fun for the whole family.

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!"
