Bowling made funny

Rating: 7/10 (6 February 2007)

Of all the sports to make a movie about, bowling is probably just a tick better than darts, curling, and synchronized swimming; which is why this movie was so fantastic. They took a very boring, uneventful and unwatchable sport like bowling and made it into a fun movie.
A lot of credit has to be given to the writers, because this movie was hilarious. But I guess laughs are what you get when you mix an Amish man, an old washed up bowler with one hand, and a hot looking gangster's girlfriend. Everyone of the main characters was funny: Woody Harrelson as Roy Munson, the has-been bowler that lost his hand after having it shoved into a bowling ball return machine. Randy Quaid as Ishmael Boorg, the quiet, naive Amish man just trying to do what is right. Vanessa Angel as Claudia, the beautiful rich gangster's girlfriend trying to escape. And who can forget Bill Murray as Ernie McCracken, the selfish, womanizing, kingpin bowler with a TERRIBLE comb over. The movie was just very funny all around.
