Kingpin

Pros: Funny
Cons: None

Kingpin is one of the best comedies I have ever seen. This movie is just a in your face comedy. It has a decent plot, but not even close to real. This movie is just hilarious. If you haven't seen this movie you should get out and see this movie it is...

Pros: Unapologetic no-holds-barred humor
Cons: Meant to offend

You'll either love it or hate it. It's kick 'em when they're down type humor, then kick 'em in the nuts just for another laugh! Here's an example, one of the lines in the beginning of the movie: "Hey Roy, can you get sick from drinking...

Pros: Laughter
Cons: the landlord

Woody is great in this movie. Playing an ex bowler who had got his han chopped off in a bowling acciedent. He was forced to wear a rubber hand. This movie had so much comedy I couldn't stop laughing. I think the funniest parts are when he went to...

Pros: enough laughs to last years
Cons: hard to find

This was a movie that died in the theaters and with the critics but I rented it once on a recommendation. You have to buy it and watch it 20 times to get all the jokes this is funny. Something about Mary was a dissapointment after watching this. Do not...

Pros: Hilarious.
Cons: Some unnecessary parts.

Roy Munson was once an expert bowler. Now he's a balding alcoholic man with a rubber hand. Now he is out to help an Omish man by the name of Ishmel. Ishmel and Roy are now on the road trying to win a bowling tournament worth 500,000 dollars. Now they...

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...

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 ...

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...

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 ...

Pros: It is a hilarious movie that everyone should see.
Cons: I really didn't really notice any cons throughout the movie.

Kingpin by Thumpin13


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....

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...

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....

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...

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 ...

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...
