Kingpin

by slimshady71487 , Dec 17 '08
Pros: Woody Harrelson, Randy Quaid
Cons: Not meant for children of any age
The movies starts off in Ocelot, Iowa in 1969 and a little boy named Ray Munson jumps a fence and busts his butt to get to his father to play a game of ghetto bowling before supper. His daddy tells him he would be great when he grows up and it reminded ...

The Farrelly Brothers fall victim to the sophomore slump

by Chad9976 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 01 '08
Pros: some funny moments
Cons: A lot of really stupid moments; extremely predictable and cliche screenplay.
There isn't much to a comedy like this, it recycles every comedy formula: 1) the underdog versus the world, 2) the idiots in the real world, 3) the bombshell, 4) the road trip, 5) the monetary deadline, 6) and the villain. “Kingpin” stars Woody ...

As Gross As The Farrelly Brothers Can Ever Get

by videodude , Jul 08 '05
Pros: Humor, performances, good story
Cons: gross jokes might put off many
Long before they made people laugh with sperm used as hair gel in There's Something About Mary, or the underlying messages within Shallow Hal and Stuck On You, or the sentimental sweetness of Fever Pitch, was an underrated movie called Kingpin. For it's ...

Kingpin Rules: Hooked on Rude & Crude Humor

by inkkognito Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Sep 05 '04
Pros: Lots of silly, goofy gags, and the cast is excellent.
Cons: Some people don't like Farrelly Brothers gross out humor.
I'm ashamed to say it, but I love this movie. Yes, I LOVE this movie. I can be in the worst mood in the word, but if I put in my "Kingpin" DVD, the crude humor and ridiculous premise never fail to crack me up. There are certain bits, like Roy ...

All hail the Farrelly Bros.

by lunchbuddy , Dec 09 '02
Pros: Sick, funny and sweet . . . just like my vomit
Cons: a touch too long, extras are not worthwhile

When doing comedy, one must create a delicate balance. All of the editing techniques a director could ever learn will not make a film work if the actors involved do not possess chemistry or timing. The larger the cast, the more difficult...

Kingpin

by amanda_k , Jul 31 '02
Pros: Funny movie, good cast and acting.
Cons: Not the best movie I've ever seen
Kingpin wasn’t as funny as I thought it would be, but it was still a good movie. Roy Munson is an up and coming pro bowler when tragedy strikes (no pun intended). His bowling career and his hand are both gone. Roy spends the next 17 years is a crappy...

`Rubberman' rules!

by Cassady , Apr 05 '02
Pros: Cast, sense of humor, impeccable gag timing.
Cons: Pretty risque and profane for a PG-13 movie
Woody Harrelson leads a cast of bad comb-overs as Roy Munson, once a rising star in the bowling leagues in the 1970s (dig him in his disco garb) until he came up against cocky champ Ernie McCracken (Bill Murray). McCracken tempts him into running a scam...

Rated R for Some Crude Sex-Related Humor

by 4-1-1 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Sep 24 '01
Pros: Bill Murray ad libs his role; one of the funniest characters he's ever portrayed.
Cons: Some corny jokes, some silly sight gags, some pretty low and dirty humor.
Here's a DVD that you'll want to put of your gift-giving list.

This is a lowlife, on-the-road, buddy-movie comedy featuring Sports, Satire and Slapstick. Kingpin is a humorous "escape from reality" movie that most any guy will like....

Kingpin*

by brodieman , Jul 14 '01
Pros: Great cast, stomach-churningly sick comedy and (surprisingly) something of a message there too.
Cons: Maybe a touch overlong but that really is nit-picking.
The Farrelly Brothers score a definate strike with Kingpin, their best movie to date.

When Ten-Pin Bowling prodigy Roy Munson (Woody Harrelson) wins the 1979 Odour-Eaters Championship the future looks bright indeed. But after an ecounter with...

KingPin

by angel83099 , Jun 12 '01
Pros: Ok movie, tries to deliver a message at the end.
Cons: Some parts are crude.
KingPin starring Woody Harrelson, Vannessa Angel, Randy Quaid, and Bill Murray, was worth a few laughs. There are better and funnier movies out there and then again, there are movies worse than this.

Roy Munson (Harrelson) is the 1979...

STRIKE!!!

by TazzY2J , Sep 09 '00
Pros: The GORGEOUS Vanessa Angel. (Marry me, Vanessa)!
Cons: None.
You know I love bowling. I really, really love it. And so naturally a movie about ten-pin bowling would interest me a great deal. I was not dissapointed at all. This is one of the best movies I have ever seen.

What made it a winner was the...

Kingpin by thumpin13

Pros: It is a hilarious movie that everyone should see.

I decided I was going to watch the movie Kingpin when came out on video because I had heard that it was a hilarious movie. It is about a man who is a great hustler in bowling....

The Hook Brings You Back

by TRISMEGISTOS , Jul 17 '00
Pros: LMAO
Cons: Ehhh.... it fulfilled its purpose. Maybe a bit more character development, but nobody's perfect.
Pound for pound, "Kingpin" is a joy to watch. Briefly, it is a redemption tale of a bowler who falls from grace. Bill Murray is slimy and repulsive as the hustler who causes that fall, clear up to the end (*Oh, the COMB-overs in this...

Stupid, offensive...

by skeebird , Jul 13 '00
Pros: None.
Cons: Disgusting, immoral, trash
Kingpin was one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen. I don't know how anyone could think it was funny, or even humorous! The characters are all obnoxious and sex-crazed, and it is just one example of the decay of American values and culture.
