Show 1 The Signpost inmeii 'Necessary Roughness' scores a sack with laughs Monday, September, 30 1991 Enterta By Don Brooksby Staff writer of The Signpost "Necessary Roughness" is a laugh provoking football comedy starring Scott Bakula ("Quantum Leap"), Robert Loggia, Harley Jane Kozak ("When Harry Met Sally"), Sinbad, and Hector Elizondo (The hotel manager in Tretty Woman'). Jason Bateman, Kathy Ireland and Larry Miller (the actor, not our own basketball-hockey-car dealer mogul) also head-up an all-star cast that graces this movie into a 2 hour belly-rolling comedy. Necessary Roughness is the story of an honest coach (Elizondo), and his assistant (Loggia), who face the challenge of making competi- V KATHY IRELAND r f ! 43W SINBAD tors out of an outlandish group of unconventional college athletes. After the university's corrupt football program is given the death penalty by the NCAA, Texas State University's new coaches have their work cut out for them. From now on, the program will be 'clean' no boosters, no scholarships, no favors. Did I mention Kathy Ireland is in this movie? After choosing the team, the two coaches knew they were lacking two major kinds of talent, a quarterback and a kicker. Scott Bakula plays a 34 year old freshman quarterback named Paul Blake, who can throw a football with such accuracy it makes every pro quarterback look like a baby. Kathy Ireland plays a"Wonder-Girl" soccer player who can kick anything (believe me, she kicks anything!) with such distance and accuracy, she is immediately put on the team to help. Sinbad plays an astrology professor, Andre Krimm, working on his Doctorate. He didn't get his chance to play some good football due to the difference in philosophy overgettinganeducationand playing football. Andre wanted another chance to do some serious hitting, so he brought his Sinbad style and one-liners to the front line. "Necessary Roughness"is a fresh movie to watch. There are many one-liners throughout the movie that keeps the laughter going. The acting doesn't insult the intelligence of anyone; I must say, I was impressed how the actors kept a sane side to the people they were playing. I admit that I went to this movie with a low expectation. I expected a movie where all the comedy was in the commercials and none was left for the movie, but I was wrong. I expect this movie to do well, but only by word of mouth. There are people out there who have experienced the same thing as I have, deception. I have seen so many commercials for a movie that actually looked funny, upon my paying $5.50 to see the movie and expecting a good, funny movie, I learned that all the comedy was in the commercials. The movie had no plot and would actually insult me as a human being. (See ROUGHNESS page 11) WW ill J Caffeine Free.
