Editorial Review:
National Lampoons is at its hilarious best with their latest comedy classic, Pucked starring Jon Bon Jovi and David Faustino (TV's Married with Children). Frank Hopper (Bon Jovi) is a former lawyer, long-term loser and constant dreamer - and frankly, probably just not all that bright. When he receives a credit card in the mail, he believes he's hit the jackpot. It's not long before he's working his way toward financing his dream - an all-woman hockey team. He's also put himself in debt to the tune of more than $300,000. Naturally, he winds up in court when his plan backfires.
National Lampoon's Pucked Reviews:
It could have been a lot worse 
2009-01-21 - After receiving 208 unsolicited and pre-approved credit cards in the mail, unemployed dreamer Frank (Jon Bon Jovi) decides to use the cards to finance his latest idea - a women's ice-hockey league. However, Frank runs into trouble when the credit card companies finally catch up with him and charge him with fraud.
"National Lampoon's Pucked" is a "bad" movie. You probably already know that. I knew it before I even purchased this DVD. With the exception of the "Vacation" movies, pretty much every movie with the words "National Lampoon's" in the title is a B-grade movie made on a low-budget using second-rate actors and a second-rate script, and "Pucked" is no exception. However, unlike some of the other "National Lampoon" movies, "Pucked" somehow manages to work.
The cast of "Pucked" is made up of a bunch of has-beens and never-beens, but among them are Jon Bon Jovi, Curtis Armstrong (Booger from "Revenge of the Nerds"), David Faustino (Bud from "Married with Children") and Cary Elwes. Sure, none of them are top actors anymore (if they ever were), but they all commit to the material that they are working with and through their belief in their characters and enthusiasm, manage to sell their characters to the audience. Similarly, the script of this film is certainly no Oscar contender, but it is well structured (better structured than "Twilight", which I saw the same day) and is surprisingly funny. Within the first 15 minutes there's a fight between Jon Bon Jovi and a midget! What more could you ask for?
If you have ever liked any of the actors in this film, or just want to switch off your brain for 83 minutes and watch some mindless entertainment, then this film is worth a try. Don't expect too much, but don't expect to be bored either.
In perfect condition, with quick delivery 
2008-11-24 - The DVD plays perfectly and the case looks new. Delivery was fast, and the price was great!
Pucked 
2008-10-21 - This is the worse of all the movies JBJ has appeared in. But for the bon Jovi fan, it is worth shutting off the sound, sitting back with a glass of wine, and enjoying it purely for voyeuristic purposes. A really bad career choice for Bon Jovi
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.
