Kingpin

DIRECTED BY: Bobby and Peter Farrelly

REVIEWED: 08-15-96

Funny, energetic and totally offensive, Kingpin is a surprisingly engaging film about bowling, of all things. But enough of reviewers, what do the fans say? "It exceeded all my expectations for a bowling movie," reports one viewer after a recent screening. "One of the top-five bowling movies of all time," chimes in another. "A motion picture extravaganza like no other. Two hooks up!" exclaims yet a third enthusiastic citizen. But not all reports are rosy. "It has too much character development and not enough cheap laughs," one disappointed fellow responds. And a confused audience member asks: "Which Jane Austen novel is this based on?"
