Another bad taste comedy fest from the masters of silliness, The Farrelly Brothers.
This time ten pin bowling is the subject tackled, as Woody Harrelson plays Roy Munson, a one time bowling star whose hand was mutilated by a group of individuals unhappy at being hustled by himself and Bill Murray's character, Ernie McCracken.
Ernie ditched Roy at the scene, escaping unscathed.
Years later, Roy meets Ishmael, an Amish individual who just happens to be a half decent bowler, and Roy's brain kicks into high gear, dreaming about making a comeback, though this time as coach.
The plot itself is meaningless in truth, this is all about the gags, and there are some beauties, the horse de-shoeing being my personal favourite, as well as the vulgar landlady who lets Roy pay his rent in sex.
It gets a little gloopy towards the end, as the Farrelly's movies have a tendency to, but this is a hoot throughout.
