The Farrelly brothers funniest comedy.
June 18, 2003
Has plenty of clever sight gags and outrageous jokes you can't help laughing at, no matter how hard you resist.

Crude and hilarious

The combination of the overkill factor and a basic mean-spiritedness finally sinks it for me.

Funny, outrageous, vulgar. The only bowling comedy in memory.

I found the sleazy comedy more tedious than watching an actual bowling match.

...a pervasively uneven comedy that just isn't able to overcome its various deficiencies...

It's funny in parts in a tasteless, Farrelly Brothers way. Freedy Johnston's incidental music provides one of the 90s most pleasing scores.

Kingpin makes inspired comedy by channeling the Weber spirit-and the humble reality of the circuit-through the frame of an inspirational sports movie.

Ends up with a seven-ten split between hilariously tasteless and just plain distasteful.

With maybe 25 belly laughs, the brazenly crude Kingpin is often uproarious, but be forewarned that its creators apparently conceived it underneath a limbo bar. How looow can a funny guilty pleasure go?
