IMDB

Canadian teen movie about a couple of unlikable assholes who play pinball . They spend the rest of their time giving a nerd a hard time, trying to get girls to take their clothes off, stealing pinball trophies, having car chases and giving a bumbling fat guy a hard time. Overall the movie is somewhat like an adult version of Saved by the Bell, although the characters are a lot more realistic and much not rich.
The best line of the movie comes during the climatic pinball showdown when the pockmarked punk gets up for his final turn and says, "I can feel the bonus points in my blood."

7.5/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
