National Lampoon's Pucked
Sometimes even the losers score big.
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.

....the dumbest movie I've ever seen.
I'm realizing that National Lampoon movies are like Saturday Night Live movies - very hit and miss. For every Wayne's World, you get A Night at the Roxbury, and for every Animal House and Vacation, you get... this crap. Just awful.
I thought this was going to be a sort of Mighty Ducks scenario, with Bon Jovi putting together a ragtag team. But he doesn't just create a team, he creates a league, because in the universe this film is in, there's no such thing as women's hockey, and the idea of it is laughable. Huh? Okay, whatever.
So he puts together a league consisting of two teams, which are filled with super hot chicks, and one token fat butchy girl. The film doesn't have to explain how a league with only two teams can exist, because soon it becomes not about hockey at all, but about Bon Jovi being taken to court for credit card fraud. Yawn.
I didn't laugh once. I'm puzzled as to what the heck Cary Elwes was doing in this piece of junk. I'm guessing this is something all the actors involved wish they could erase from their resume. It's embarrassingly bad.National Lampoon's Pucked - Tinkerbell123
Thinking that this was a National Lampoon movie you have to expect some stupid humor. There definately was that, the movie theme was totally a Lampoon original. Create a women's hockey team with no backing but credit cards, I have to admit it was very original. The movie was kinda silly, but tolerable, what wasn't was Jon Bon Jovi as an actor. He "Pucked"!
