Summary: GREAT COMEDY - GREAT DVD
Review: Kingpin without a doubt has to be one of the most hilarious movies made in the 90s'. Randy Quiad and Woody Harrelson are amazingly funny. I think that Bill Murray steals the movie though. Some really cool extras on the DVD version. Hats off to the Farrelly Brothers for making another soon to be comedy classic!! See Kingpin back-to-back with Dumb and Dumber- you will be sore for a week from laughing so much!!

Summary: In my opinion one of the funniest films ever
Review: I have seen Kingpin several times and it never gets old. Woody Harrelson is such a lovable and wonderful actor and Bill Murray is one of the funniest guys around. Kingpin is a vulgar slapstic comedy that should make anyone with a pulse laugh until they ache. This film also has a heart. There are several emotional parts in the film about a mans past failures and regrets. It almost makes me cry from the emotion and the comedy every time I see it (I said ALMOST cry guys). I love this flick!!!

Summary: Crude but Screamingly Funny
Review: While I don't ordinarily like scatological humor, Kingpin is one funny movie. Harrelson and Quaid prove their worth as comedians in their roles as a tacky small time bowler and an Amish "clean as a whistle" farmer who just happen, through circumstances totally beyond belief but which are somehow believable in the movie, to find themselves in one another's company. The results are wonderfully funny in a crude sort of way. Bill Murray is in his sleaziest role yet, and be sure to watch his hair, particularly at the end. This is one is a classic in its own way, and I enjoyed almost every minute of it.

Summary: A few gutbusting moments, but not stellar overall...
Review: I'm an ardent fan of the Farrelly brothers; they make FUN films. However, this sophomore entry is easily their weakest. This could be attributed to the lack of Farrelly involvement in Kingpin's screenplay, and the entire film would generally be a waste if not for Bill Murray. This man, given the proper role, is the funniest supporting actor I have ever seen (Caddyshack, Rushmore, etc.), and is responsible for this film's truly funny moments. The rest of the film consists of weak gags combined with half-hearted attempts to make you care about the characters they abuse with the aforementioned gags. This combination was successful in Dumb and Dumber (because it was actually funny), but not in Kingpin.Definitely watch Kingpin (if only for the Bill Murray segments), but don't purchase it without viewing first...

Summary: Probably the Funniest Movie of the 90¿s!
Review: The Farrelly Bros. have proven themselves to be inspired comic directors that have enormous talent even if their idea of humor is crude and raunchy. Their short career has been filled with ups and downs starring with 'Dumb and Dumber' which is so-so, then 'Kingpin', which is probably their best, followed by 'There's Something About Mary' which has a softer side and a larger audience and then the Jim Carrey misfire 'Me, Myself & Irene'. While 'Mary' is often thought of as their best, 'Kingpin' is in a lot of ways better and has a higher LPM (laughs per minute) average. Quite possibly the funniest movie of the 90's, I'm not saying it's the best comedy, just that it's the most constantly funny. Woody Harrelson is hilarious and so is Randy Quaid as bowling Amish (?) Ishmael. Bill Murray is hilarious and steals almost all his scenes. Vanessa Angel is the super-sexy Claudia, she is the typical sexy female presence that the Farrelly Bros. seem to need to round up the cast, in order they are; Lauren Holly, Vanessa Angel, Cameron Diaz and Renee Zellweger. As for the typical 'hair gel' joke we've come to expect from the Farrelly's, this time it deals with Roy 'milking a bull' and drinking the 'milk'. The film is filled with these jokes that are still hilarious even after repeated viewings. It also features a great soundtrack with songs from Goldfinger and other modern bands. The 'bowling sequences' are well made, nicely edited with a great soundtrack, with a heavy dash of humor and exciting as well. Roy loosing the tournament and avoiding the typical ending was a great move and heightens the originality level, which is very high. Peter and Bobby Farrelly are very talented comedy filmmakers and some of their films (at least 2) have become instant comedy classics. If they're lucky they might be considered the 'Mel Brooks' of their generation, not because their humor is the same (it isn't, Brooks is better), but because they are fearless and original filmmakers that revive the comedy genre every decade or so. From a scale of 1-10 I give this film an 8!

Summary: i love the humor of this movie!!!!!!!!
Review: i love the one liners and implied jokes and the sight gags, they were so absent from dumb and dumber and mary, as far as plot goes, some movies have plots some have excuses to pair people, this may have been an excuse, but the humor makes up for it, i frankly fastforward the part with the land lady and her visual aid, but i dont shun the movie because of it, this movie is sooo quoteable its rediculous, "i outta stoot slap you boy!", "business partners?, thats precious" "how you been otherwise" "go eat that outside" "Hi, not you, hi" ("what you doing mr. munson?" "flossin" "flossin, where did i get munson from" "the names munson, what im doing is flossin") "go deeper, johnaton"

Summary: One of the funniest movies that I have ever seen!
Review: I first saw this movie at my cousins house when it premiered on Showtime. We taped it later on that night, and we watched it over and over and over again throughout the entire week! It was hilarious! I was surprised that Randy Quaid was sooo funny! The entire cast was just hilarious! Those who are easily offended by crude humor (ex. Dumb and Dumber) need to stay away from this one, but those who enjoy a good joke need to see it!

Summary: KUDOS TO THE FARRELLY'S
Review: The Farrelly Bros. are comedic geniuses. I have seen this flick about 20-30 times in the last 2 years and all others by Peter and Bobby Farrelly. If you can't appreciate this style of comedy, Stick to Woody Allen movies and lighten up! Live a little!

Summary: Pointlessly gross
Review: As Monty Python suggested, "eating a lump of freezing cold poison" would be more pleasant than watching this film. By losers, for losers, and about losers.
