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

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

Rating: 2.5/4 -- Necessary Roughness has the right kind of rambunctious spirit for this kind of picture -- even if it's not quite as inventive as similar movies like the recent baseball send-up, Major League. 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

Rating: 2/4 -- For every sharp one-liner about a pampered college football team that's "so corrupt it could use its yearbook photos as mug shots," there's a brain-numbing plot development that's straight out of a desperate sitcom. Full Review

Too bad the lowbrow laughs were shortchanged by a tired script about misfits and loners banding together to gain a little self-respect. 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.
