National Lampoon's Pucked Reviews:
Ah Jon, what happened? 
2007-11-26 - Yes, I bought this movie because Jon Bon Jovi was in it. My male friends wanted to watch it for the T&A factor, and we all love a good bad movie. This one, unfortunately, missed the mark on all of it. The story was boring and predictable, no T&A (except for the deleted scenes where there was way too much of it.) Bon Jovi and Faustino actually did a pretty good job, they made their characters somewhat likable and charismatic, but the script was worse than your usual National Lampoon fare. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.
What do you expect from a National Lampoon Movie?
2007-07-19 - I'm an avid Jon Bon Jovi fan and thought he did well in a movie that's script should be burnt, I should have realised considering it's a National Lampoon's T & A movie. Light hearted and slightly amusing - Jon's looking good as usual.
MY 15 SECONDS OF FAME 
2007-07-16 - Pretty good movie.. I was a extra in the movie when they were in the hockey rink.. My friend was shone 3 times but I only got to see myself once... On well My 15 seconds of fame...
Jonny is good there 
2007-06-12 - Actualy, i found this movie pretty good and fun:) And Jon Bon Jovi is good in it, don't trust some online critics that can not see it...
Pucked up 
2007-05-28 - This is yet another example of why it's just about always a bad idea for NATIONAL LAMPOON to give pseudo-celebrities their chance to take a lead role in one of their films. Paris Hilton bombed in BOTTOMS UP and Michael Douglas' son had a career-ending flick in ADAM AND EVE. The present film, with John Bon Jovi, belongs in this same infamous league of NL flops.
It becomes painfully obvious from watching this movie that John Bon Jovi can't act - not even just for an NL movie. [Of course, he can't sing either, but that's another story altogether] He has no screen presence @ all and mouths his lines as though he is reading off of cue cards (which he probably is). Not ever, ever, EVER seeing Bon Jovi in another movie again would be a very good thing in my book.
The plot is pretty simple. Bon Jovi plays a con artist who tries to get a women's hockey league going. The "catch" is that the women all look like Victoria's Secret models (with the exception of 1 girl). As he doesn't have the resources to finance such a venture, he uses ENRON techniques of book-keeping to keep his mis-guided "dream" alive.
Being that this is an NL film, one would think that there would be a lot of opportunity for some locker room scenes. Inexplicably, they don't really take advantage of this. Sure, there are a few flashes of nudity here & there, but if you blink you will miss them. This aspect of the movie was VERY disappointing. I've seen some NL movies in the past that were lame but were redeemed by the amount of T & A they had.
Along those lines, the only thing that remotely saves this DVD is the special feature. It's as though the producers say "We know that you (the viewer) wanted to see topless women." {Question: why didn't they put more in the movie then?} At any rate, they have some funny "topless interviews" with girls from the film - even though the questions are very lame. They also have some locker room scenes that we were all expecting to see in the movie itself. Guess that it's better to have it in the Special Features than nowhere @ all.
I can't recall ever saying that a DVD's special features were better than the movie itself, but that is the case here. NL has put out some of the very best party movies of all time (VAN WILDER, VACATION, ANIMAL HOUSE to name a few). Unfortunately, this one is not one of them. In fact, it's not even close!
