Very funny movie

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Kingpin" (1996) is a hilarious comedy. Story was good, performances were even better, and script and directing were very good. Its like "Dumb and Dumber" but better. Woody Harrelson and Randy Quaid were terrific together. Supporting cast which includes no other then Bill Murray was more excellent. The premise of this comedy is also a solid gold - its kinda takes itself not so serious but the jokes land because its a hilarious story in itself as well characters are superb - for a comedy.

Overall, "Kingpin" was definitely one of the more memorable comedies from the 90's. Directors really shined here and created something special and unforgettable.

Stupid fun

This is an odd concept for a film--a movie all about bowling! Who would have thought you could make a decent comedy about bowling and who would have thought it would actually be funny? In many ways, the weirdness and irreverent style are very similar to the much later film, TALLADEGA NIGHTS--another "sport" that takes well to parody.

Was this a brilliant film--probably not. But, in a very low-brow way, it does make you laugh and that is enough some times. It gets very high marks for bizarreness (such as the fake hand and the whole Quaker angle) but also loses marks for, unfortunately, losing steam from time to time with needless plot. When the film tried to be meaningful or didn't go for laughs, it fell a bit flat.

audacity to keep trying

It's 1979. Roy Munson (Woody Harrelson) was raised by father to be one of the best bowlers in the world. He beats Ernie McCracken (Bill Murray) at the 1979 Odor-Eaters championship. Ernie puts sugar in his car engine and convinces the naive Roy to hustle a bowling game. Ernie leaves him behind as the angry mob grinds off his bowling hand. 17 years later, he's reduced to a traveling salesman. He discovers Ishmael Boorg (Randy Quaid) at a bowling alley. He's a nice Amish guy whose family would disown him for bowling. The Farrelly brothers keep trying and trying. Most of the jokes don't work but they keep trying. The premise and the setups are all ridiculously stupid. The characters are marginally compelling and one could root for Munson.
