IMDB
A washed up bowling star (Woody Harrelson) finds a talented young Amish bowler (Randy Quaid) and attempts to manage him to a $1 million dollar tournament in Nevada. Quaid needs $500,000 to save his farm. Along the way, Vanessa Angel joins their party.
A silly comedy with a few unnecessary gross-out moments. It worked in the 90s, but in 2010 the gross-out humor is played out (and it worked better in There's Something About Mary). Still, bull semen drinking aside, this is a pretty good movie. Bill Murray is great as the creepy villain, Big Ernie. The music is horrible, most of it being third wave ska or Blues Traveller.
7/10
