Trailer Synopsis Cast

Frank Hopper 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

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

National Lampoon's Pucked is a hilarious story of Jon Bon Jovi being a broke, failed inventor. He has a good idea of making a womens ice hockey league. It is so funny i laughed every scene. Definitely watch again and recommend to everyone. It is a great light-hearted comedy, for everyone with a funny bone it got me everywhere. Bon Jovi was perfect for the part of Frank Hopper and I thought he portrayed the character perfectly. He and the other people in this movie were hilarious. I don't know where all these bad reviews came from it's excellent. I like pretty much all National Lampoon movie's. Overall I loved this movie as it was funny and clever so please watch it i guarantee you will enjoy it.

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 am out of a job and currently have lots of time on my hands sooo. I've been watching many movies! I have just completed my viewing of "Pucked" and despite what other people say, it's not bad. There are so many people that are simply negative to begin with and really, they should not be reviewing movies. Only those that are objective can truly rate a movie. Every time you see a negative word about a movie, that shows that the person is negative to begin with.Would you trust that review? I certainly wouldn't! Anyway, Pucked was not bad! Jon Bon Jovi did a decent job acting and the plot was typical however, made the movie interesting and sometimes funny. I knew this was by no means going to be an Oscar winning movie which is why I give it a good rating. I rate movies on how they are and NOT how they compare to other movies. I rate them on how they make me feel, how they entertain me, etc. Pucked did a very good job of doing that and I would recommend it to anyone that needs to watch a pretty good movie when you have a lot of time on your hands.C

I was actually in this film (I played one of the Almighty Swans) and am extremely surprised AND upset that my name was not mentioned in the credits. I spent over a month and a half working on this film. To not be mentioned in the credits is absolutely discourteous and unethical. Give credit where credit is due.As far as the movie goes, it's "typical National Lampoons humor". If you like it, you'll most likely enjoy the film. If it's not your bag, then I wouldn't bother. The film is a bit discontinuous and lacks in depth. If nothing else, watch it for the FABULOUS Almighty Swans that didn't make the credits. I'm sure that most of the Fearsome Foxes didn't make the list either...
