Kingpin

This movie is brilliant. It's about a run down drunk of an ex bowler (Woody Harrelson) who won a state championship almost twenty years ago, but now he's barely making his rent money. He no longer bowls because he's missing his hand...so he's left with nothing but a hook. Thru a series of events, he meets up with Randy Quaid who plays a really stupid Amish guy who happens to be a very good bowler. Eventually they get together for an adventure thru the country, making their way to Reno, Nevada for a bowling championship. The movie is one of the funniest I have ever seen, and Harrelson is hilarious. If you buy the DVD version, it's rated R as opposed to the regular PG13 version, and I must say the R version is better. I think they have 17 mins of added footage on the DVD. A lot of people will see this movie is somewhat gross in spots, but I don't mind it at all, and I think it only goes to make it funnier. Vanessa Angel, who I know from Weird Science the USA series some years ago, is pretty funny in this movie as well. I think it's a gem, and I'd definitely give it a 10/10.

Great movie still holds up well today. Cinematography top notch, acting amazing from whole cast, directing on point, casting fantastic. Couldn't ask for anything better. Wet yourself laughter.

If you are looking for a cinematic masterpiece look elsewhere. If you are looking to laugh for 90 minutes than this is the movie for you. The plot is predictable the acting is so so, but it is just plain funny. Especially Woody Harrelson Randy Quaid Bill Murray and Vanessa Angel

I laugh every time I have scene it and I have scene it well over a 100 times.

Most of the jokes are vulgar and crude so if that is not your style than I suggest you skip it. Again definitely not Academy Award material but funny funny funny. Just sit back and enjoy you don't even have to like bowling but it helps. Check your brain at the door and laugh.

This is a hillarious comedy,which goes where no comedy has gone before.Nothing is to weird for this comedy.Bill Murray and Woody Harrelson are great in their roles and the story is so simple that it is funny.It is about winning a bowling tournament. This movie is directed by the Farrelly brothers,and I think that explains it all. Go and see it now.

Bill Murray pretty much steals the show every time he's on the screen. He's sleazy, he's smarmy and he's very funny. With that comb-over going nuts at the big game, and his victory dance at the end makes Kingpin that much better. That's not saying that the rest of the film isn't good, it is. Woody Harrelson, Randy Quaid and Vanessa Angel make a very odd partnership. An Amish bowling whiz, a one handed ex-bowler, and a very sexy hustler scheme and dream to make it to Reno, but of course they have to beat Big Ern.
