Kingpin - Zwei Trottel auf der Bowlingbahn

This movie is brilliant. It's about a run down drunk of an ex bowler (Woody Harrelson) who won a state championship almost twenty years ago, but now he's barely making his rent money. He no longer bowls because he's missing his hand...so he's left with nothing but a hook. Thru a series of events, he meets up with Randy Quaid who plays a really stupid Amish guy who happens to be a very good bowler. Eventually they get together for an adventure thru the country, making their way to Reno, Nevada for a bowling championship. The movie is one of the funniest I have ever seen, and Harrelson is hilarious. If you buy the DVD version, it's rated R as opposed to the regular PG13 version, and I must say the R version is better. I think they have 17 mins of added footage on the DVD. A lot of people will see this movie is somewhat gross in spots, but I don't mind it at all, and I think it only goes to make it funnier. Vanessa Angel, who I know from Weird Science the USA series some years ago, is pretty funny in this movie as well. I think it's a gem, and I'd definitely give it a 10/10.

"Kingpin" is a hilarious, laugh at loud comedy. But what Farrelly Brother's movie isn't. See this and every other movie they made.

I went to see There's Something About Mary and liked it so much that I decided to rent Kingpin for the hell of it. I'll probably get into some heat for saying this, but, I actually liked this one more than Mary. Harrelson, Quaid, Murray, etc. are all funnier than Dillon or Diaz or even Stiller, I think they have a lot more comedic talent than any of Mary's various players. Don't get me wrong though, I liked Mary, I just loved Kingpin. It's a shame that Mary turned out to be the money maker and almost no one's ever heard of this one. I hope that when people go see Mary, they'll do their research on the Farrelly brothers and check this one out. I just have one request to the brothers for their next film, don't hire that Chris Elliot guy, he just really sucks.

Great movie still holds up well today. Cinematography top notch, acting amazing from whole cast, directing on point, casting fantastic. Couldn't ask for anything better. Wet yourself laughter.

If you are looking for a cinematic masterpiece look elsewhere. If you are looking to laugh for 90 minutes than this is the movie for you. The plot is predictable the acting is so so, but it is just plain funny. Especially Woody Harrelson Randy Quaid Bill Murray and Vanessa Angel

I laugh every time I have scene it and I have scene it well over a 100 times.

Most of the jokes are vulgar and crude so if that is not your style than I suggest you skip it. Again definitely not Academy Award material but funny funny funny. Just sit back and enjoy you don't even have to like bowling but it helps. Check your brain at the door and laugh.
