Full Plot Details

Tracing the historical arc of the professional bowling tour, the film includes archival footage from the sport's glory days in the 1950s and '60s, through its near extinction in 1997. The story takes a twist when newly installed CEO Steve Miller sets about modernizing the PBA. In addition to Miller, the chronicle focuses on four pro bowlers: Pete Weber, bowling bad-boy and son of legendary bowler Dick Weber whose conservative style doesn't jibe with the direction Miller is taking the new PBA. Pete's nemesis is Walter Ray Williams Jr., a straight-laced six-time world horseshoe-pitching champion and, with 36 PBA titles to his name, the dominant player on the tour. Also, there's Chris Barnes, a young father of newborn twins, who must leave his wife and sons at home and hit the road to compete for the winnings that his young family is depending upon. Finally there's Wayne Webb, a 20-time PBA champion who has fallen on hard times and hopes to squeeze one more good season out of his career to stave off bankruptcy.

Movie Reviews

eFilmCritic.com - 9/10 by Erik ChildressGreat characters, big laughs and a helluva climax all combine to make this one of the most entertaining sports documentaries ever made.
Boxoffice Magazine - 8/10 by Jordan ReedBrowne's film succeeds on numerous levels, in no small part because he admirably balances the slow-pitch, flyover-state silliness of bowling with a genuine appreciation of the inherent tensions and rivalries in a professional spectator sport.
Film Threat - 8/10 by Eric CamposGeared to please audiences of all tastes.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 8/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)Gentlemen is distinguished by its extraordinary access to the players and tour operators.
Detroit News - 8/10 by Tom LongThe film is part nostalgia, part wary tale of wasted youth and part underdog struggle.
Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 8/10 by Rob Thomas"League" is unexpectedly inspiring as we watch the plucky little league, which only draws a quarter of the advertising revenue of hockey despite having better TV ratings, fight for its survival.
Film Journal International - 8/10 by Lewis BealeThe new and improved Tour now has a terrifically well-made and astute film documenting its birthing pains.
TV Guide - 8/10 by Ken FoxChristopher Browne's fun, surprisingly exciting film probably won't convert anyone convinced that bowling is something you do while downing fish sticks and beer. But it may teach them a newfound respect for the sport's champions.
Newsday - 8/10 by Gene SeymourChristopher Browne's nonfiction chronicle of the Professional Bowlers Association's quest to retrieve its once-widespread popularity carries more warmth, intimacy and grit -- and still manages to be as witty and engrossing as any Hollywood comedy.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Nick SchagerCaptures the way in which unassuming, workmanlike skill increasingly has no place in a sports-entertainment culture driven by short attention span-grabbing shock tactics.
