Rating: 2/5 -- In the end, and from the viewpoint of a country where polytechnics can barely afford books, it's hard not to identify with the dean who resents all the time and energy wasted on football in his supposed institute of learning. Full Review

The film itself is a genial, slight, entirely predictable football comedy, but it serves Bakula well. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- An American football comedy which replays all the situations and clichés from the baseball saga Major League, but with a minor-league cast and clumsy direction from Stan Dragoti. Full Review

This gridiron comedy piles up cliches the way Notre Dame racks up yardage, with an option-variety screenplay that promiscuously pitches the story in multiple directions. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- Awful '90s football story with hard hits, profanity, cliches Full Review

...[Bakula] has a laid-back quality that makes him a welcome, easy-to-take presence on the big screen...

Suffice it to say that Necessary Roughness is not particularly rough and is certainly not necessary. Full Review

Product Description:

Aging ex-quarterback Paul Blake (Scott Bakula) enrolls in college in order to fullfill his adolescent high school dream of playing college football. Unfortunately, his new team has been put on notice for violating NCAA rules, and all the veterans have been kicked out. Undaunted, Blake helps put together a team comprised of football-playing misfits and a female placekicker. In the midst of all this, he falls in love with one of the professors and must outwit the dean of the college, who is trying to cancel the football program.
