Audience Reviews

Audience Member I think this film is good because it is not only a simple story and very funny, but it has some heartfelt moments. I have always found this movie to be sorta inspirational. It is ultimately a story about redemption and accepting responsibility for one's own actions--and, of course, you get some laughs along the way. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Tibor F This movie is not something absolutely brilliant, but does a decent job keeping you interested. The story evolves sufficiently, the characters are interesting enough, actors are good, the hottie is hot, and there are some good laughs. I mean, what else do you expect from a comedy? I expected way worse after reading some reviews, and I was pleasantly surprised. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/25/24 Full Review Audience Member I ended up enjoying this and also wanting to go out and bowl myself! While some of the humor is subtle and quick, it really does work. Everyone in the film did great with their roles and performed wonderfully (Bill Murray, Randy Quaid, Woody Harrelson, and Vanessa Angel). This film may have nothing on the Big Lebowski (one of my all time favorite comedies that also had bowling in it) but it still largely felt original and clever. The story took unexpected turns and twists, especially at the end. Movies like this aren't made anymore and maybe they shouldn't be, they should be cherished for what/when they are! Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review Rick M This movie is one of those comedies that has some funny memorable scenes that stick with you, Bill Murray, Woody Harrelson, and Randy Quaid play their characters to perfections. If you like quirky comedy it’s definitely worth watching. Other movies I’d compare this to are Anchorman and Tropic Thunder. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/19/24 Full Review Richmond B Kingpin is a classic and does not get the praise that it deserves. Is it a bit edgy? Yes, but that's what makes it so great. it's a comedy about the armature and professional bowling scene and it does have some, somewhat dark moments but so does life. Great movie would highly recommend it. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Alec B One of the Farrelly brothers' best comedies, full of wonderfully bizarre gags and hilarious performances. Despite not writing the original screenplay you can easily see how they morphed it into something that bares all their hallmarks (crude and occasionally mean spirited humor that's offset by a sincere demand for the audience to love the characters).
