Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Charles Herold (cherold) I didn't like this movie from very early on. The usually reliable Bill Murray was more creepy than funny, and after an early, fairly unpleasant sequence, we move years into the future where Woody Harrelson is almost as creepy.The comedy comes in bits and starts. Some of it is pretty conventional humor, some is close to Airplane levels of silliness, but much of the movie isn't especially funny at all. I seem reviews here that say this movie is hilarious, and honestly, I couldn't even guess at the parts people found hilarious.The brightest spot was Randy Quaid, who had a pleasant goofiness and general likability. I kept thinking, maybe if I stick with this it will get funny eventually, but about two-thirds of the way through I decided to give up.I would never have guess the guys who made this would go on to make something as good as There's Something About Mary.

Python Hyena Kingpin (1996): Dir: Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly / Cast: Woody Harrelson, Randy Quaid, Vanessa Angel, Bill Murray, Lin Shaye: One of the best comedies of 1996. Woody Harrelson plays champion bowler Roy Munson who quests to regain the potential he once had. He was betrayed seventeen years prior, which resulted in his rubber hand. Unable to regain the spotlight, he sets his sights to train an Amish citizen who bowls in secret. They are eventually joined by Vanessa Angel who flees from an abusive relationship. Directed by Peter and Bobby Farrelly who scored big with the very funny Dumb and Dumber but the screenplay here is tighter and much more detailed. It has effective sight jokes but more importantly it has an ending of unpredicted satisfactory. Harrelson plays off the desperation to be a winner and we can sense his pain and regret. Randy Quaid is hilarious as the gullible yet sincere Amish bowler who desires to champion his family during financial crises. Angel plays off toughness with vulnerability as she remains one step ahead of Munson. Bill Murray steals scenes as a competing bowler who betrayed Munson and displays no signs of remorse that isn't met with sarcasm. Lin Shaye makes a hilarious scene stealing cameo as Roy's angry landlord whose methods of payoff leave Munsion puking his guts out in a toilet. Hilarious comedy about restoration stamped with a rubber hand. Score: 10 / 10

videorama-759-859391 How fun.. no, how unfunny was this movie? This movie was so unfunny, it was unfunny. This movie, was such a monstrous disappointment I never saw coming, as loving Dumb and Dumber, still the Farelly's Brother's funniest movie. This is the Farelly's unfunniest movie, even though unfunniest isn't a word. It almost took a year to hit video, which angered me more. The moments of laughs that are scarce as shark sightings, actually came as a relief in a near two hour movie, you just couldn't give two hoots about. Harrelson, a bowler with promise who was robbed of his golden moment, as well as his bowling hand, hits back years later, teaming up with the most likely of partners, an insecure Amish man, played by character actor, Randy Quaid, this unfunny mess of a comedy, not the first film, he's been wasted in. They also met a hot pro, with a nice heart, on the run from some bad guys, (yeah, shades of Dumb and Dumber) where a romance blossoms between her and Harrelson. Harrelson returns to the bowling scene, getting back at his nemesis, Murray, in fine devious form, an actor you have to witness to appreciate his method. This too long film, although Quaid, is fun to watch, is just an opposite misfire to the Farelly Brother's former hit. If a Farelly fan, and you haven't seen this, you're doing yourself a favour, snubbing this one off, believe me.

ArT_of_InSaNiTy I've only recently decided to somewhat commit to participating in contributing reviews to IMDb and reality hit me in the face when realising that it was 17 years ago when this classic came out. 17 years, and boy do i miss these kind of films, When the Farrelly brothers made great comedy movies. Of course they have taken their feet of the pedals, but their first 4 were instant classics.It may not be a laugh out loud film that has you giggling all the way through, but it has a certain charm to it (despite the crudeness) that keeps you smiling throughout. There are plenty of hilarious moments and great one liners. Bill Murray is fantastic as Big Ern and gels brilliantly with Woody Harrelson. The rest of the cast play their parts to make this a must see film.
