Roy Munson was raised to be the best bowler in the world (trained early on by his father). But a fellow bowler, Ernie McCracken and a misunderstanding with some rough punks, leaves poor Roy with the loss of his bowling hand! Not to let this get him down, he gets a prosthetic hand and becomes a travelling sales man. But it's really all down hill for him from that night on until ... One day he meets Ishmael who is Amish and sneaks away from the farm to bowl (his fellow Amish would disown him if they knew)! Roy convinces Ishmael to let him be his trainer and he'll make him the best bowler the world has ever seen. Reluctantly Ishmael agrees to go on the road and shortly afterwards actually finds that life outside the farm is quite fun. Soon their paths cross that of Ernie McCracken who is still a top ranking bowler. While Roy's career and life have landed in the toilet bowl, Ernie is still drawing huge crowds and all the babes! They both square off for the ultimate bowling championship ... to see which one truly IS the champion.
Leave your thoughts about Kingpin.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertSome of the gags don't work, and yet I laughed at the Farrellys' audacity in trying them. And the humor isn't just gags and punch lines, but one accomplished comic performance after another. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkKingpin is no classic, but I've got to admit that after sitting though a number of the film's less-than-inspiring previews over the last few weeks, I wasn't exactly expecting the second coming of Laurel and Hardy. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonPeter and Bobby Farrelly aimed low and grossed millions with "Dumb & Dumber," so it shouldn't be surprising that Kingpin, their latest effort, offers a similar mix of pratfalls, gross-out gags and jokes about bodily functions. This time, however, the humor is darker, edgier and occasionally, even more scatological. |
| EmpireCaroline WestbrookAs a barrel of easy, unsophisticated laughs, Kingpin delivers in spades. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittWoody Harrelson, Randy Quaid, and Bill Murray give riotous performances, but be warned that the comedy is overloaded with gross-out humor from beginning to end. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleKingpin has nastiness going for it. There are prosthesis jokes, bad-teeth jokes, ugly-women jokes, sight gags involving vomiting, etc. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe really disgusting thing about this movie isn't the crude jokes themselves, but how grossly unfunny they all are. |
| The New York TimesLawrence Van GelderThe team that gave the world "Dumb and Dumber" returns with something feeble and feebler. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyWithout a doubt, mainstream moviegoers will be revolted by the nastiness of it all. |
| User Reviewtaylorman"Kingpin" is a hilarious, laugh-out loud comedy with fantastic performances from Harrelson, Quaid, and a deliciously villainous Bill Murray. The film is filled with exceptionally amusing moments, and ranks among the best in the Farrelly Brothers' filmography. |
