To be honest, I have never been a fan of the Farrelly brothers’s work. Indeed, I completely despised ‘Dumb & Dumber’ and I really didn’t like much ‘There’s something about Mary’. Last time, I saw one of their last movies, ‘Hall Pass’, and it wasn’t really good either. Still, they made a couple of good movies and this one is definitely one of them, at least, that’s my opinion.... read more

Roy Munson (Woody Harrelson) is a promising young bowler who pays a heavy price for defeating established pro, Ernie McCracken (Bill Murray). After years of getting by as a salesman, he comes across Ishmael Boorg, an Amish man who is keen on keeping his bowling talent a secret from his strict family. His reluctance to get involved with a big tournament in Reno is broken when he learns of financial difficulties within his community.

" Woody Harelson, plays a Roy Munson a very unlucky, alcoholic, one handed ex bowler, who discovers a bowling phenomenon, who just happens to be Amish. Could he be the ticket to redemption? Bill Murray, plays Ernie McCracken and steals the movie, as unscrupulous bowler, who is Roy’s rival, and there is also Vanessa Angel, as Claudia, a woman who heads with them to Las Vegas, for a champion bowling tournament.
