Necessary Roughness.




I watched Necessary Roughness not long ago, and like it, although it's not a great film.  I enjoy Scott Bakula even if I don't care for the particular material or storyline; he always does a good job.  The idea of an older guy getting a second chance to play football years after high school has potential; I do like movies where characters get second chances. The interaction between Coach Gennero (Hector Elizondo) and Coach Rig (Robert Loggia) is funny, and Sinbad does a good job in his role as Andre Krimm. The scenes with the convict football team led by Dick Butkus are amusing.  Overall it is an okay film, but not extremely memorable.
