Necessary Roughness

Had it when I was on the phone on cassette

I have always enjoyed this movie. It has made me think of what might happen if I went back to college classes in person (at my age). Funny, with a feel-good ending!

This is by far my favorite Scott Bacula movie. Some of the other actors are my favorites too. Like his coach and assistant coach and the prof that played football with him. It’s just, the snappy comebacks are great. Thanks for sending it.

One of the all-time greatest football films and best films ever with an all-star cast that lives up to the hype. Scott Bakula, Sinbad, Jason Bateman, Kathy Ireland and the list goes on. Way too many to name. Scott Bakula stars as: Paul Blake- a former high school quarterback superstar who had a chance to go to college and go on to become one of the all-time greats. But after the passing of his father, he gave it all up to run the family business working on his dad's farm. However, the game never really left his heart. Every morning as he gets up getting ready to work on the farm, he heads out to an open field in the back where he works on his throwing game still getting the rush he had years ago in high school playing the big game.......& he's still got it! Well, those skills are about to comeback at a well needed time. Robert Loggia (who plays Walter- the defensive coordinator) recruits him to comeback for a run before it's too late for old times sake to help out his ailing football program that's been dealt a big blow for: Breaking NCAA rules paying their players, academic cheating and all kinds of football scandals making the Texas State Armadillios the laughing stock of college football and the talk of the town. Now at age 34, Blake tries to return to the game he stills loves and provide a little magic. Even though he agrees to return for one last run, he constantly bumps head with head coach: Ed Gennero (played by: Hector Elizondo). As head coach and offensive coordinator, he wants Blake to lead the team and lead by example. Blake's having a hard time figuring out exactly how to lead the team the way Ed wants him to. Eventually, he figures it out and their team pulls it together before it's all too late. Forced to play Iron man football (playing both offensive & defense), the Armadillios learn about sticking together as a team and having each others back no matter what. It's a great film about never giving up and giving it all your best regardless of the outcome.

Necessary Roughness is an excellent value for a classic sports comedy. It was just as funny today as it was when I was a kid. The actors did an excellent job, and the plot was light-hearted and humorous. I am tickled to have found a DVD copy for such an excellent value. Two thumbs up!

I was very happy with the movie, for what it is. It gets a bit of a demerit for the awful 80s music. Otherwise, good fun.

Very funny yet reasonably decent football movie about a former champion yet currently troubled and underdog college football program. And I've liked Scott Bakula ever since Quantum Leap.

This and the Replacements are two uplifting football related movies as must see

Womöglich nicht einer der "besten" Filme des Genres, aber dennoch unterhaltsam. Der Humor und die Witze machen wieder wett, dass die Handlung oft vorhersehbar ist und die Charaktere größtenteils platt und oberflächlich sind. Der Film hebt sich nicht in besonderer Weise von anderen Produktionen ab, steht diesen aber auch in nichts wirklich nach. Als Zeitvertreib und zum Lachen bestens geeignet.

La película la vi desde que era niño, nunca la encontraba en ningún lado, hasta que apareció en Amazon, el cual tiene una gran variedad de películas. Lastima que no esta subtitulada en español y no era multi region, batallé para conectar mi reproductor de dvd multi region. La entrega fue a tiempo!!!

damals als der film noch auf VHS kassette erschien haben wir uns den film angesehen.... wie so ziemlich jeden football film.nun endlich habe ich ihn in meiner sammlung und muss sagen das der fil immer noch so gut ist wie ich ihn in erinnerung hatte.ein toller football film.
