Where are the rules? There is none silly!

This movie really shows how the college football teams get away with this. "Necessary Roughness" is like the sister movie to "Major League". Only it's dealing with college football. Times do change for sports. The old members of the teams are gone not because they have moved on to bigger projects. Scandal is the cause of the team's folly. A shady dean, two coaches who are trying to get the team back to their winning ways. There comes a 34 year-old farm hand , and former high school football hero named Paul Blake(Scott Bakula, aka Sam Beckett on "Quantum Leap") gives the college a hand. He does a mighty good throw, and along with the other misfits. The big guy Manumana is the most menacing character of the team. However, they bring in the kicker Lucy(Kathy Ireland) and Manumana is smitten. I liked it when Samorai(Michael Dolan) got really rough with one of the players and the ref was good at naming the moves he was doing. I liked the part where Lucy reduced that blow-hard player into a "little boy" when she gave him a three point kick to his "friends". HAHAHA! It all ended well when the dean got his "just desserts" and Manumana went down "hard and fast" when Lucy gave him a victory kiss. I would feel the same after I do some back-flips. It was funny and it was fast, see this movie, the fun always lasts. RATING 3 OUT OF 5 STARS!
