Sputtering bowling farce

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 2000)

* ½ (1½ out of 5)

Kingpin

Directed by: Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly, 1996

Idiotic and slow paced screwball, that outstays its welcome early on. This bowling movie should stick to the gutter. The Farrelly brothers clearly intended to mix their own recipe (Dumb and Dumber) with the sports movie formula, but fail miserably.
Bill Murray practically saves the day as the ultimate bowling sleaze; insincere and cocky. Murray is deadpan hilarious.
