Kingpin Reviews

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. The weird thing is that it is one of their most obscure movies, a movie they made between their 2 biggest success, ‘Dumb & Dumber’ and ‘There’s something about Mary’. Of course, the story was completely preposterous and filled with gross jokes, I thought it worked quite well this time. Indeed, this time, they decided to make fun of bowling which is a rather ridiculous sport when you think about it, and it was really funny. Furthermore, they decided to cast 2 comic geniuses, Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray, and they just rocked their performances, as usual. It has been a while since Woody Harrelson has played the lead and that’s a shame because he is very charismatic and just plain badass. To conclude, even though it is nowadays pretty much forgotten, it is actually a solid comedy and it is worth a look, especially if you are interested in the Farrelly brothers’s work.
