Film: Kingpin (1996)

DVD: Enhanced 16x9 - Double Sided
Kingpin

"Just because you're familiar with the missionary position doesn't make you a missionary."

Review: This is one of the three top-tier Farrelly Brothers movies along with "Dumb and Dumber" and "There's Something About Mary". There other movies are good but never reach the same heights as their first three. This movie has so many laugh out loud moments and Woody Harrelson is great as the down and out Munson. Bill Murray is steals the movie whenever he is on-screen as Ernie McCracken.

"He said handSOME, not handLESS."

"It all comes down to this roll. Roy Munson, a man-child, with a dream to topple bowling giant Ernie McCracken. If he strikes, he's the 1979 Odor-Eaters Champion. He's got one foot in the frying pan and one in the pressure cooker. Believe me, as a bowler, I know that right about now, your bladder feels like an overstuffed vacuum cleaner bag and your butt is kinda like an about-to-explode bratwurst."
"Hey. Do you mind? I wasn't talking when you were bowling."
"Was I talking out loud? Was I? Sorry. Good luck."

4 out of 4 Stars
