  • Critic Reviews of "Necessary Roughness"

    Seattle Times
    January 24, 2014

    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.

    Los Angeles Times
    January 24, 2014

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

    Orlando Sentinel
    January 24, 2014

    As they say in football, pass.

    Philadelphia Inquirer
    January 24, 2014

    The shameless commercialism and hypocrisy of big-time college football is a target as inviting as a receiver wide open in the end zone. But the muddled huddle that is Necessary Roughness is one long fumble strewn with offensive lines.

    Chicago Tribune
    January 24, 2014

    An amiable comedy.

    Variety
    March 26, 2009

    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.

    Common Sense Media
    May 19, 2015

    Awful '90s football story with hard hits, profanity, cliches

    Philadelphia Daily News
    January 24, 2014

    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.

    Radio Times
    January 24, 2014

    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.

    South Florida Sun-Sentinel
    January 24, 2014

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

    Empire Magazine
    January 24, 2014

    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.

    People Magazine
    January 24, 2014

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