Necessary Roughness (Full Frame)

VHS, PG13, 108 minutes, PARAMOUNT

The Texas State Armadillos are fourth down and nowhere-to-go after a corruption scandal nearly ends the football program. Now upstanding coach Ed Dennaro (Hector Elizondo) must put together a brand new team. For the position of quarterback Gennaro recruits Paul Blake (Scott Bakula, "Quantum Leap"), a 34-year-old former high school star whose field of dreams turned out to be the family farm. Blake still has the arm but can he score with a team that includes a samurai lineman, a butterfingered receiver, and a Samoan strongman with eyes for the place-kicker (Kathy Ireland)? A winning comedy that's loaded with "stand-up-and-cheer action!" (Bill Rocz, KPHO-TV, Phoenix).
