bowl me over

Rating: Null/10 (23 July 2011)

Following their success with "Dumb and Dumber", the Farrelly brothers directed "Kingpin", about a mangled bowler (Woody Harrelson) who trains an Amish man (Randy Quaid) to bowl. Since this is the guys behind "There's Something About Mary", there are naturally a few scenes with no purpose except to have a gross-out gag. But it is pretty funny throughout most of the movie, with a lot of mild gags. I suspect that the Amish didn't like it. But I liked it, and I recommend it.
Also starring Vanessa Angel, Bill Murray, Chris Elliott, William Jordan and Lin Shaye (the sunburned neighbor in "TSAM" and the retiring flight attendant in "Snakes on a Plane").
