Funny movie, but tails off at the end.

Rating: 8/10 (17 March 2003)

I like this one about as much as I do "There is Something about Mary", unfortunately it didn't get near the revenue at the box office. Still though I enjoyed it as I saw it at the theater. I went to the theater to see this movie with my friend, but I really didn't want to see that movie so I thought I would give this one a try and I was pleasantly surprised as I had a good time at this one. The story is a washed up bowler who lost his hand tutors an Amish guy who wants to save his farm. The movie is very funny with jokes flying. Unfortunately, it is a Farrelly brother movie so it has its dead spots of no humor. Here the last 20 minutes of the movie loses the energy and pace the rest of the movie has and there are only a few chuckles to be had. The cast is great as Quiad, Woody, and Vanessa Angel are great. So is the small role of Bill Murry as a rival bowler. All in all a very funny movie, that might have benefited if it was a bit shorter than it is. Though it is worth checking out.
