Summary: King of Crude
Review: Kingpin may be the best prosthetic comedy you'll see this or any year. You've heard of man and his dog stories? Well how's about man and his rubber hand.

It's 1979 and Ocelet Iowa is Roy Munson (Woody Harrelson) territory. When it comes to knocking down the pins, Roy-boy moves like a leisure-suited Fred Astaire and throws the strikes when they count. He bowls the pro circuit until Ernie "Big Ern" McCracken (Bill Murray)--the skunk of the tournies, the guy with the worst hair since Shatner--leaves Roy to get his hand lopped off by a bunch of pinheads.

Downtrodden, drunk, and sinking low (and I mean it literally) to pay the rent, Roy discovers a naive forty-year old Amish farmer named Ishmael (Randy Quaid) and figures he can make him into a bowling thoroughbred. On the road to Reno and a million dollar payday, the odd couple picks up well-proportioned Claudia (Vanessa Angel) and proceeds to pack their trip with enough gross-out humor to keep you gassed-up for life.

Made by the Farrelly Brothers, Kingpin hits a few of its marks on the bull's eye. Roy's time among the simple people provides some of the nastiest/goofiest moments. But then, too much crude and rude and not enough fun and ny wreck the gross-out get-down. Even by its own low standards, Kingpin throws too many gutter balls to make a trip to the alley worthwhile.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Reel sleeper
Review: I past on this in the rental section until an associate found out how much I enjoyed "There's something about Mary" and recommended Kingpin. I'm a Bill Murray Fan and now Farrelly brothers fan. A great movie is one that you have to see several times. Great lines in this movie. I use them at work. Bill Murray is at his best. Rivals Rushmore. This movie grows on you. The CD soundtrack is worth its price of admission.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: STRIKE!
Review: If slapstick humour is your thing and you enjoyed Dumb and Dumber you will love this. The Farrelly Brothers have once again created a comedy masterpiece. A great script coupled with outstanding performances from Woody and co make this a must have film for anybody with a sense of humour. Don't be a MUNSON buy it now!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the funniest movie ever
Review: Don't listen to the editorial: this is a hilarious moivie. Much funnier than Mary. I have watched this movie at least five times and it gets funnier every time. The reason why the gross jokes work is that nothing (most of the time, at least) disgusting is shown directly; we are simply told about it. Great performances by everyone. A comedy classic (yes, you heard me).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the 5 funniest flicks of the decade
Review: 1. There's Something About Mary 2. Nat'l. Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 3. Kingpin 4. Happy Gilmore 5. The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!

A riot from start to finish. Crude, yes, but still a laugh a minute for anyone. OK, so it tries to be more emotional than it really is, but I seriously want to slap Ernie McCracken. Woody and Quaid are superb in this, and it is Farrelly's slapstick comedy at its best. I wont ruin the best lines for ya here, but rent it. Soon.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Kingpin rocks your world
Review: This is one of the best commides since waiting for guffman. It has a really good play on words. Look for the milking cows part.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: disgusting movie.it grossed me out
Review: there are just so many nasty parts in this movie.if they would of left those out,i would have liked this movie.like when woody harrelson threw up.and when randy quaid was flossing and chunks of food flew everywhere and all over the mirror.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Come on sweetness one more title.....
Review: Kingpin is a very, very funny movie. Its was the second offering from the Farrelly brothers, and maybe its their funniest (fighting Dumb and Dumber), but alot better than There's something about Mary.

Kingpin has a great cast, including Woody Harrelson(one handed bowler), Randy Quid, Vanessa Angel(From tv's Weird Science) amd Bill Murray(playing his funnest role I've seen him in).

Kingpin is brilliant, however if you didn't like Dumb and Dumber or found Theres something about Mary offensive you wont like this one. But if you did you'll love it. Buy it on DVD and watch it over and over again.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Much funnier than Mary
Review: How does anyone dare compare a flick with Bill Murray in it to "Something About Mary?" Whether you love bowling or hate it, this is a great movie, in which Murray does a great job of playing the egomaniac bowling star (is there even such thing as a bowling star in real life?) Overstepping all bounds of decency, this film flies in the face of all stiff-uperlipped PC viewers, and appeals to those who just like to sit back with a beer and a bowl of popcorn and laugh. A little slow in some portions, but worth the wait, especially to watch Harrelson drink "milk" from a bull, and Murray's toupee slowly peel off his head in tournament. A laugh-riot not meant for the meek and decent.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: That was oh so funny, but just a little long
Review: I think the scenario here is slightly too long, because we're a little tired waiting for the Reno tournament. But hey guys this is still a great movie that can't wait to deliver some laughter in cans to you and your video. You gotta see that one, and try not to sleep when it's getting a little boring for ten or fifteen minutes. You will also find out that the fourth or fifth time you see Kingpin, you wanna kill Bill Murray. Don't worry, that's a normal reaction...
