Great comedy

Rating: 7/10 (23 January 2007)

I have heard quite a bit about Kingpin, about how funny it is and how great the actors were together, this film was on the top 100 funniest films of all time and not to mention that I heard a lot about it from my friends. I thought that it was a pretty decent comedy that I had fun with, especially the finally bowling scene with Bill Murray, he was the one who truly stole this film. But the entire cast was so great and special, I think anyone could laugh a few times from this film.
Roy has been brutally disfigured in a bowling game when his partner, Ernie, leaves him to a horrible disfiguration of getting his bowling hand cut off. Years and years later, he finds Ishmael Boorg, an Amish farmer who bowls extremely well, but he doesn't want his family to know that he can bowl, but after begging and begging, Ishmael decides to be with Roy in a huge tournament for a huge cash prize. Through the trip they make, they become the most unlikely of friends picking up a hot woman, Claudia.
Kingpin is one of those films you don't forget and I will guarantee the minimum of one laugh, especially when you see these grown men have comb overs and are acting like little boys in the the competition together. I would recommend it for a fun afternoon with the friends, it's good film and it looked like the cast really had a lot of fun together.
7/10
