Beautiful and bleak

Rating: 8/10 (9 September 2010)

Not unlike Harrelson's other masterpiece, White Men Can't Jump, this comedy certainly promises laughs and repeated viewings. On the other hand, there is a constant feeling of desolation and sadness. Ultimately this film could be described as being real. The performances from every cast member serve to create distinct and memorable characters, including the genius Bill Murray as the veritable king of the pins. Depending on who you are speaking with, this movie may have even spawned a dictionary worthy term, although I will leave it out of this review in the interest of little disclosure. "10 frames, that's for Quakers!"
