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.

This movie is not bad for a National Lampoon. The message is good.

Being a mediator and advocate in a community center, I thought this was one of the funniest movies I ever saw, and recommend it to my clients. Especially now, that the whole bank card business has gone crazed, it is funnier than ever.

Thank you for the wonderful product. This made a great girls movie night with the girls. We go gaga for Jon Bonjovi night.

There are very few laughs in this movie. David Faustino and Nora Dunn couldn't even save it. And, predictable, the good guy wins. I only rented it, very glad I did not purchase it.

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.

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.

This movie was a lot better than recent movies released by "National Lampoon", or at least a watered down version of a name you used to be able to trust. As compared to recent releases such as Spring Break and Pledge this, this movie gets an oscar for best picture. This follow Jon Bon Jovi as Frank, a down and out invetor/thinker who gave up a life as a lawyer to pursue a career in promotion and sales. When he thinks he's lost it all, filling out a simple survey brings new fortune and potential fame his way, along with changing the lives of many others for the better. David Faustino (Married with Children) is co star as Franks best friend, and unlikely legal consultant when the bubble gets busted. Rent this movie, find out what happens, and chuckle while you do it. Worth a rental, or purchase.

Before I had afraid to buy abroad, because everything is very expensive, so I have a Friend and every month buy many things in Amazon.Com and this DVD I could not find in Brazil.

When I bought the estimate time went 1 month and I said to my mother:Gosh!I put my credit card there!!!But the Amazon have every services fantastic,every week they send a e-mail told me about my request and in 2 weeks my DVD arrived.

I recommend Amazon to everybody. Ah! and I paid almost nothing!!!!

Thank you very much!!

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
