Pretty low humor raised to a pretty high art.

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2015)

I know how insensitive it sounds, but I was thinking to myself, "I haven't bowled in years and watching grass grow is more interesting than watching bowling. At least it's not golf. Really, how good can a comedy about a crippled bowler be?"
Still, I reasoned that this film is by the Farrelly brothers and it's about to come off streaming, so at least I should give it a try.
Just goes to show how wrong a guy can be. A perfect mixture of sentiment and low and somewhat higher-brow humor, not to mention flawless performances and brilliant cinematography.
A totally pleasant surprise. Definitely a new American comedy classic.
