Very funny yet reasonably decent football movie about a former champion yet currently troubled and underdog college football program. Assembling a new team of walk ons and has beens with only enough members to play Iron Man ball, results in funny and surprising results. The team is outclassed, and outmatched and evenn having to contend with a contrary and conniving administrator. Its Rocky all over again but on the gridiron. It's a great movie and story to enjoy. Even folks that don't appreciate football will likely get all into this one.

There is really nothing special about this movie.It really has only the thinnest veneer of a story. Team gets on probation - coach finds 34-year-old quarterback to bring them back - team is a bunch of losers - they win the big game. You know, the usual stuff these sports films are made of, but unlike Hoosiers, there is not much going on outside the lockeroom or off the field. I only watched it because one of the minor stars is coming to town to give a speech and I wanted to see his part. It was about 10 seconds long. Kathy Ireland was there with a small part and Fred Dalton Thompson was there too, again with a small part. The rest of the cast is forgettable. Well, I hate to admit it, but Rob Schneider was a little funny.
I saw this movie years ago and liked it. Since then I saw The Replacements. They are very similar, and the latter is much better. I'm sorry I bought Necessary Roughness.

Necessary Roughness id a great classic film about an aging quarterback who has to asemble a football team out of a gang of mis-fits; Including one Very Attractive place kicker-namely model Kathy Ireland! Entertaining comedy with a Host of Real Pro Football Players, including also a World Heavyweight Boxing Chanpion! Pleasant surprise of a great Football Comedy. 5 Stars *****
