movie review - Kingpin

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 1997.07.14

Bullshit movie about a circuit of losers who bowl for a living. Woody Harrelson, Bill Murray, and Randy Quaid wander from one slapstick scene involving humour about breasts and vomit. I think everyone involved could do better, including the viewer.

Not recommended. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I'm watching too many movies and kissing too many frogs.
