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?

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

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

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

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

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