It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Hayden Kane
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

With the brand NATIONAL LAMPOON attached to it, you know what expect: harmless comedy and moderate fun.The movie is just that: a simple, humble comedy where JON BON JOVI steals the show, you just can't help it but get mesmerized by the guy.He sure looks good, however, it is the eccentric tone he gives to the role that make the movie interesting. Although, it is hard to buy that the lead singer of the biggest hard rock band in the world is the loser frank, he sure tries to sell this to us, and that is really cool to watch.National Lampoon PLUS Jon Bon Jovi = Fun.

Rocker John Bon Jovi plays Frank Hopper a down-on-his-luck dreamer and never do well who gets the idea to make a womens' hockey league after he royally screws up yet another job that his downtrodden girlfriend got for him. How does he want to pay for this you may ask?? A long string of maxed out credit cards that the credit company comes after him for. 'madcap hijinks' ensue.There's a long list of people that should have known better than to star or take part in this deathly unfunny bad-sitcom level movie. There's Bon Jovi of course, but then there's Bud Bundy from Married with children, Booger from "Revenge of the Nerds", & Nora Dunn from SNL. All of which boast extremely lackluster performances in this atrocious film. I don't really recall laughing once during the duration of it & i implore you to spend your time more wisely than with this turd. If this movie was a car you'd bet your sweet ass that I'd try to get cash for this clunker.Eye Candy: 4 pairs of tits, an ass, & one full frontal (all by nameless extras)My Grade: D-

I found this film very confusing, because it didn't seem to be about anything, except possibly that Jon Bon Jovi thinks that he or anyone he plays can get away with anything. The character he plays (sort of, he really isn't an actor, but an attitude), seems to sleepwalk through life expecting everything to work out to his advantage, and by god, it does. I really like Estella Warren as an actress, because she knows how to convey dignity and emotion without becoming a cartoon, but even she seems annoyed and disinterested in this film.David Faustino (best known as Bud Bundy) basically narrates the film, which means that it comes off as an unfunny and weak episode of Married With Children. There is even the obligatory scene where Faustino is taken by a large and presumably unattractive woman. Oddly in this case the premise is that he then falls for this woman, which makes sense, because she (Wendy) is one of the more appealing characters in this film. This relationship makes a lot more sense than the one between Bon Jovi's Frank and Estella Warren's Jessica, which seems based on her conflicted feelings about his irresistibleness and his irresponsibility. Warren is one of the more attractive and appealing actresses around, but she seems to have difficulty working up any enthusiasm for this romance. They have a sex scene that really isn't one, which is odd because this film has lost of shots of bare breasts, but they aren't related to any of the romances. The title of the film comes from Frank's dream of a female hockey league, but it really ends up being about how easy it is to obtain credit cards in 21st century America. Maybe they should have named the film "Overextended". It would make more sense than "Pucked". Spoiler Alert: If this film really was a cautionary tale about the trouble you can get in using credit cards it might have some redeeming social importance. Instead after acting without concern for anyone, Frank is both redeemed and saved by an absolutely unbelievable deus ex machina, so there appear to be no consequences to the way he acts. In fact the scene where Jessica, who is supposedly a brilliant lawyer, tells Frank how brilliant he is because he is so original, stuck in my craw. It apparently stuck in Warren's as well, because she plays the scene like she is being forced to apologize for something that she doesn't want to feel.If you are like me, and enjoy watching Estella Warren, and want to see her play a three dimensional woman figuring out relationships, rent Her Minor Thing, which is a much better, and funnier, film.

Such a horrible movie full with clichés. Of course the ending is so the be known when the movie starts. The drivers license read 123456789 as registration number come on put some effort in a movie instead of taking the first inspireless story you can think of.All the characters are so stereo typed it will make you cry to start off with. Let alone the plot. If you just wanted to star in a movie as being john bon jovi you could have also chosen to be in a random low budget movie which would actually come out nicer.Can't imagine that he really would like to be associated with this movie. Maybe a thing he might wanna forget soon and focus on music again?
